WHO WE ARE
The Annapolis Rowing Club (ARC) is a nonprofit, community-based membership organization dedicated to promoting and advancing the sport of rowing through the widest possible range of opportunities for training and participation. Our club members range from age 18 to age 70 and older, and we also feature Adaptive Rowing and Strokes 4 Survivors, a cancer survivors’ group, to share the joy of rowing in Anne Arundel County on the South River.
ARC is a 501c3 organization, managed and operated by volunteers. It is managed by a Board of Directors elected by the membership at an annual meeting. The club relies on volunteers for its operation and all ARC members serve on at least one of the committees to support the club's various activities.
Explore this website to learn more about the club and all of our programs, and how you can either join one of our established teams or Learn To Row for the first time. Wherever your interest lies, there is nothing better than rowing on this beautiful branch of the Chesapeake Bay and engaging in a great physical and social setting.
