THE ROWING CAMP

Budapest, Hungary, May 22 – 26, 2024

 

The 2024 edition of the aramtraining rowing camp will take us to Budapest. Just like  last year, we will have a five day camp with dedicated afternoons off. This time we will row on the main stream Danube. Most of our rowing will be on a 10km long side arm without ship traffic. Our host club will be Külker EV. They also offer basic accommodation (double and tripple rooms) as well as space to pitch your tent. If you prefer a hotel, there are very good options to chose from. The club also handles the boat rental. While the boats are not new, the rental is very affordable compared to renting boats from boat builders. 

What is new for 2024 is a heavy focus on teaching you to set your own boat. There is nothing worse than rowing in a boat that is not properly set. This is why we are starting off the camp with a set-your-boat session, then we try out set-up, then we tweak our set-up again, until you have found your ideal settings. This knowledge is key to fun and successful rowing. Please bring your own 10mm + 13mm ratchet keys, a set of Allen keys, a Philips screw driver, a flat head screw driver, a band measure tape and a note book. If you have inserts / bushings, please bring them as well, if not, I plan to bring some as well, as well as a pitch-meter. 

The camp is open to competitive rowers of all age groups. In terms of intensities, we will do long sessions (partly with intensities and race prep training) in the morning and stationary technique drills (and optional start sequence training) in the evening. The camp concludes with our final regatta to add some good racing to the entire experience. The racing is optional. 

You don’t like intensities, or you would like to follow your personal program while at camp? No problem! Just let us know about it in advance, and we will assist you as much as possible.
