Learn About Our Crew Teams
We would like to help you find your place at ARC. We have morning and evening, club and competitive sweep programs, as well as sculling shells for certified member use. Although we do not have an organized sculling group, we have many independent scullers happy to make your acquaintance and join you for a row. Please read about Our Crew Teams for information and contact our Membership Coordinator to be put in touch with our Group Coordinators. ARCmembers21401@gmail.com
Scullers
If you are a sculler, you will need to be certified by an ARC representative prior to using any sculling equipment. Please contact one of our Sculling Coordinators for more information:
