STEM to Stern

Our STEM to Stern program offer a one-of-a-kind opportunity in Sarasota County.

STEM to Stern provides our participants with high quality coached rowing, STEM education, swim lessons, nutrition, transportation and more. STEM activities excite and engage students and develop critical thinking, problem solving, and teamwork. STEM to Stern is part of our commitment to our community and the “Whole Rower” where we develop all of our community’s youth into incredible leaders.

This minimal to no-cost program is designed for 7th and 8th grade middle schoolers, with opportunities available for 6th-8th grade. We offer scholarship opportunities for participation beyond our STEM to Stern programming. Rowing is a sport for life and this is just the beginning.

*rowers must be qualify for the federal free lunch program, or show financial need to be eligible for the low to no-cost option.
