Private Boat Storage Fees:
| TYPE | STORAGE FEE |

| Single (1x) | $260.00 |
| Double (2x / 2-) | $310.00 |
Members with private boats should register for either the Boat Storage for Double or Boat Storage for Single program. Please wait until registration is activated before registering for a rowing program, such as recreational or masters, or you will be charged the RCA and RowOntario fees twice. The GRC Private Shell Storage Policy should be read by everyone planning to store their boat at GRC. When registering and paying program fees, the Private Shell Storage Acknowledgment must be signed. All shell storage registrations and payments are due by April 30th.
Refunds:
The GRC does not issue refunds of program fees. Under special circumstances, a program fee may be partially refunded based on provision of timely, officially documented medical reasons, which cannot have pre-existed at the time of joining GRC. This decision is solely at the discretion of the Board, and subject to deduction of fees committed on behalf of the registrant, such as RowOntario and Rowing Canada membership fees. A $10.00 administrative fee will be deducted from any refund.
Volunteer Obligations:
The GRC is a community organization run entirely by volunteers. All members are expected to contribute 20 hours of volunteer time. Volunteer time is recorded in the volunteer record book at the boathouse. Visit the Volunteering page to learn more about this important club program.

Donations to GRC are most welcome. Payments may be made directly to: “GUELPH ROWING CLUB” and sent to:
Guelph Rowing Club
