Annual Membership - $415

This must be paid in order to become a member of The Milwaukee Rowing Club for one year. This money covers insurance costs, equipment costs, and other costs incurred by the club. The annual year for a junior rower runs from September to August (school year plus summer).

Seasonal Fees – Varies by season

A typical year for the juniors has four separate seasons; fall, winter, spring, and summer. Seasonal fees are paid by an athlete for each season the athlete participates. These fees cover junior coaching costs, non-traveling regatta costs, and costs to administer junior specific activities. The approximate fees are as follows (for info. purposes and subject to change):

  • Fall: $550

  • Winter: $450

  • Spring: $725

  • Summer: $550

Traveling Regattas – Varies by regatta

The team typically attends three or four traveling regattas per year. These are regattas where the athletes stay at the team hotel and ride on the team bus.  Athletes are expected to participate in all regattas in seasons that they participate in. For 2015, the traveling regattas are:

  • Fall: Head of the Charles, Boston, MA (Select varsity only) - $600

  • Fall: Head of the Hooch, Chattanooga, TN (Select varsity and novice only) - $500

  • Spring: Midwest Championships, Cincinnati, OH - $550

  • Spring: Dogwood Junior Championship, Oak Ridge, TN (Select athletes only) - $550

Other Costs

There are other incidental costs to participation but these are minimal (i.e. uniform, local regatta travel, etc.)

There are several factors which affect an athlete’s total annual cost of rowing. The number of seasons an athlete competes in is the main factor. Below you will find our fee structure.
