As of Spring 2025, there is now a special Learn to Row Membership, which costs $10 for 60 days. Since this membership is only valid for 60 days, please register a few days before your class begins so that your membership does not expire before your class ends.

A note on practices...
All practices occur in Stewart Park at Cascadilla Boathouse. Practices are held, weather permitting, on the Cayuga and Fall Creek Inlets, and Cayuga Lake. Typically, boats go out in most weather except when there is a strong north wind or thunder. If the weather does not allow rowing, practices are held on-land and include aerobic workouts, strength training, erging, and stretching.
