RIVERSPORT is hosting an open house and pizza party for 11-14 year olds who would be interested in learning more about the RIVERSPORT Middle School Rowing Team! Joining the fall middle school rowing team is a great way to learn all about the sport of rowing and acquire important skills before the spring Oakdale Rowing Team begins. The open house events will be on July 31 and August 5 from 5-7pm at the Chesapeake Boathouse, and we would love to have some fellow Oakdale neighbors join in the fun! You can RSVP and/or contact Tempe Knopp for more info at tknopp@riversportokc.org.
