GL Camps

Empowering Rowers to Grow, Succeed, and Build Lasting Connections

Our Vision

At GL Camps we are motivated to deliver a positive and effective rowing experience. GL Camps aim is to create an environment where young adults and Masters can improve their rowing ability and at the same time discover a strong sense of teamwork, personal growth and resilience.

Expert Coaching

Gillian’s vision includes providing participants with access to outstanding coaching staff. Our coaches will not only impart technical expertise but will also serve as mentors, guiding rowers through the nuances of teamwork, discipline, and leadership with huge amounts of fun throughout.

Life Skills

Beyond improved rowing skills, our young adults will leave camp with increased levels of self confidence, self respect and a greater understanding of what it takes to be a team player. We hope our rowers will take away with them increased levels of responsibility beyond any crew rowing boat.

Holistic Development

GL Camps is committed to fostering the holistic development of rowers. Through 5 days of rowing in the sun, we aim to empower participants with not just the physical aspect of rowing but also the mental tenacity to overcome challenges on and off the water.

Friendships

GL Camps will be a place where friendships are made. Through team building activities, shared challenges and a supportive community, participants will learn the value of collaboration in achieving shared goals.
