ROW WITH US
Central Connecticut Rowing (CCR) is a nonprofit rowing club based in Middletown, Connecticut. Our mission is to promote the sport of rowing and foster the growth of a diverse and inclusive rowing community in Middletown and across the state of Connecticut.
We offer rowing programs on the scenic Connecticut River, launching from the John K. Smith Boathouse in Middletown. Programs are run in partnership with the Middletown Recreation & Community Services Department and are open to anyone aged 13 and older. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced rower, we provide opportunities for both recreational and competitive rowing. Participants train and race in four- and eight-person rowing shells.
