Harmar Rowing Club
The Harmar Rowing Club is a non-profit organization encompassing several rowing programs, including the Marietta High School rowing team, our fall rowing program, and a middle school program which we are in the process of building.
We're committed to expanding interest and engagement in the sport of rowing in individuals of all ages, from middle school through adulthood throughout the Mid-Ohio Valley. The Harmar Rowing Club also strives to educate individuals on not only the physical health benefits of rowing, but also the mental and emotional benefits you experience as a rower as you quickly become surrounded by a supportive and like minded community of individuals.
Currently, our primary focus is on supporting the Marietta High School rowing program through fundraising efforts aimed at maintaining and improving the boat house facilities, purchasing new shells, and enhancing both the men's and women's high school teams.
Our Vision
We envision building a vibrant rowing community by passionately supporting Marietta High School's rowing team and expanding the Harmar Rowing Club's offerings. Our mission includes educating the public on the significant health benefits of rowing and providing diverse programs, such as middle school, adult, and fall rowing. By organizing dynamic competitions, engaging with the community, and maintaining excellent facilities, we aim to inspire and support rowers of all ages and skill levels, fostering a lifelong love for the sport.
