This week, we’re talking Back To School, from college walk-ons through masters rowers. At summer’s end, we’re all transitioning back to life as usual, coming off camps and tours like Calm Waters, Craftsbury, All-American, Rowing The World, SteeringURight and more. We'll review the summer’s best and explore what happens from now into fall; and is it too early to plan for winter camps in the warmer climes (no - they fill up fast)?
