New for 2024:
In an effort to build our entire membership’s rowing ability in the big boats, we will be asking members to commit to a regular session each week. This will replace team boats this season. We suggest coordinating with your previous team if you’d like to continue rowing together. We will have novice and intermediate focused sessions. The goal being to develop novice and intermediate rowers. Mindy will be member’s contact for scheduling. Contact her with questions at mindy@northernmichiganrowing.club
We will continue to require 10 hours minimum volunteer commitment. (Many put in many more hours than that and it is so appreciated!) We are also asking experienced rowers to fill seats when needed for novice sessions. We are asking for a minimum 2 session commitment.
We were able to purchase a used 8+ and a newer double at the end of last season. We are excited to add these boats to our fleet for this season
Memberships can be purchased in the club store on iCrew or a check can be sent to our PO Box 113, Cedar, MI 49621. Paying by check helps the club reduce payment fees.
