Planning on sticking around Northeast Ohio this summer? Well why not keep in shape, meet some new friends, and start preparing for the fall season! We cordially invite you to join us this summer on the Cuyahoga River for fifth season of Cleveland Collegiate Rowing (CCR). Last season was a great success with about 14 men and women. We have plans to race at the Chicago Sprints.

CCR is a summer rowing program based out of the Cleveland Rowing Foundation (CRF). It is designed exclusively for collegiate rowers and is coached this year by Ron Dorchak, former Mercyhurst Varsity rower and experienced collegiate coach of CSU and currently the Head Coach of John Carrol.
