How can a kid take up rowing if the local high schools don't have rowing programs?

The development camps produce a completely different recruiting result, in my opinion. If you are at a camp (male or female) as a rising Senior on July 1, you will have visibility to and contact with a ton of coaches.

For someone not at a private school or powerhouse club team, that may be the best way to get attention. But non-rowers will have to be exceptional atheletes otherwise to get attention, I would think since they would not qualify for the development camps.

I’m NOT an expert, though, so just my thoughts from a public high school rowing team (albeit one that fields boats to place nationally) perspective.
