Welcome
Only 50 years ago, High School Rowing was non-existent in Florida. That was changed by an Edgewater High School social studies teacher by the name of Dennis Kamrad, who had found his passion while rowing for Rollins College in Winter Park Florida. Rowing had become such an important part of Coach Kamrad's life so he naturally wanted to share this experience with others. In the Fall of 1963, Coach Kamrad brought his enthusiasm and interest to the Edgewater student body to recruit 8 rowers and a coxswain to practice and compete against visiting college teams and within 3 years was competing with the high school powers of the Northeastern US.
47 years later, Edgewater Crew is rowing on with close to 40 other school and club programs in Florida, compiling a long tradition of excellence in rowing, scholarship and citizenship. Rowing is classified a club sport at the high school level; therefore the team gets no dedicated funding from the state, county or school. Orlando Rowing Association is a 501, (c)(3) charitable, educational, non-profit corporation made up of Edgewater parents that provides all administrative, financial and logistical support to the Edgewater Crew program. Your donations are welcome, tax-deductible and put to good use with NO administrative overhead.
