We welcome you to experience the joy of leisure rowing in Finland, the land of a thousand lakes!

Imagine a lake gleaming in the sunlight, a quiet ripple of water when an oar touches the surface and a boatfull of friends, co-workers or maybe just jovial strangers. Imagine a leisurely and relaxing rowing trip and the beauty of a blooming and silent nature. What would be a better a way to spend a summer day?

Rowing in a church boat is an excellent way to combine exercise and socialising. It is very easy to learn and requires no special skills or fitness.

Different rowing events are also increasingly participated in church boats. Many relative, company, association and friend teams are gathered to take part in some of the numerous leisure rowing events all over Finland.

The Finnish lake nature shows its best part, tranquility and merry atmosphere are helping you to feel relaxed and to forget everyday routines. Leisurely rowing and new experiences together often makes the crew sing a song or two. On these trips you are among friends!

But as we all know the weather is sometimes unpredictable. Windy and rainy weather doesn´t usually prevent rowing but makes it feel like an adventure, improving the team spirit and giving you the sensation of winning yourself. Often these are the experiences that you never forget and when telling about them there just might be a proud tone in your voice.

Many different kinds of galas, happenings and parties during the leisure rowing events are an excellent opportunity to make new friends and share your experiences with other rowers.
