HOW TO SIGN UP
Step 1: Create an account on Boathouse Connect. This free app and website is the way to review membership options, arrange payment, and gain access to everything BCR offers. Be sure to select BCR as your home club.
Step 2: Review the Membership Options. The only club participants who do NOT need to pay a membership fee are coxswains (all fees are waived), college program participants (with the purchase "2026 Collegiate Summer Program”), and participants of the Learn to Row programs. Early access passholders can gain entry to the reservoir during coached training sessions (before public access hours) but are not considered club members and cannot use club boats or other equipment.
Step 3: Row on your own or with a BCR Program. BCR members can use club equipment to row on their own, but this requires appropriate certification by a BCR coach or qualified individual. The club offers a variety of sweep rowing and sculling coached programs for all ability levels. Review these on our Programs Page, and sign up for the Groups in Boathouse Connect.
