[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree that friendship circles changed a lot the first year of high school and there are lots of activities.

If he is interested in crew there is a summer learn to row session which is announced on the listserv IIRC. [/quote]

Yes!! Several folks have suggested B-CC crew here. As a parent of two kids who’ve enjoyed and made buddies through the program, I enthusiastically echo those posts. No experience is necessary! And nor is having a history as a jock. Curiosity and enthusiasm help, of course. ;)

Rowing gets kids out on the river, develops their grit, and expands their teamwork skills. No prima donnas allowed— boats of eight and four require kids to work in synch and listen to their coxswain. Your DC might get motivated to try it by reading the book and/or seeing The Boys in the Boat movie (inspiring for all rowers not only boys!).

Here is a link for the team’s summer learn-to-row program. It’s not required to join the team but your DC would meet other rising frosh while learning how to row.
