Volunteer Information
Volunteering is essential to the success of all of our programs at CBRC. We ask that you contribute through one or more of the following opportunities:

• Volunteer with at least one CBRC event

• Contribute 3 hours or more per season in a Club task, for example the annual Boathouse cleaning

• Donate food items or time in the cook tent at regattas

Safety

Athlete safety is our number one priority. Rowers are always accompanied by trained, USRowing-authorized coaches in launches.  Fall morning practices will soon start in the dark, so lights on bow and stern are required. You may use your own lights or lights provided by the club. Please dress in high-vis layers for extra visibility.

Indoor Workouts

Please bring a set of indoor athletic wear in case of bad weather; also include a pair of closed-heel athletic shoes for use on the rowing machines. Locker room and shower facilities are available for those participants needing to head directly from practice to work.
