Sign-ups are now underway for the Hull Lifesaving Museum’s summer 2004 South Shore Youth Rowing season. The program is coeducational, and rowers of all skill levels, ages 11 - 18, “pull together” in the museum’s big, traditional rowing boats exploring the waters and islands of Hingham and Hull Bays and Boston’s outer Harbor. The program’s emphasis is on personal development through fun, adventure, and teamwork. The summer season runs June 28 -August 13.

The program operates Tuesdays and Thursdays, 3:30 to 6 pm, with additional special weekend events June 28-August 13. The cost is $120 for museum members and $160 for non-members; limited scholarship assistance is available. South Shore Youth Rowing is conducted out of the museum’s Windmill Point Boathouse, located at 185 Main Street in Hull--the last building on the peninsula. Half of the museum’s 14-boat rowing fleet is housed at this boathouse, and crews embark in one of several boats depending on their skill level, number, destination, and the weather.

For more information or to enroll, please contact Corinne Leung, Museum Director, at 781-925-5433 or email the museum at [email protected]. Complete information and sign-up sheets are also available on the museum’s web site.
