Out of Town Regattas Cost (estimate)
Head of the Charles Regatta $2,000
San Diego Crew Classic $1,500
Youth Nationals $3,500

Requirements for Novice and Varsity Team membership
To help keep equipment up to date, LGRC has an Annual Capital Campaign where the athletes are required to fundraise.

Parent Volunteer Hours
The Youth Program is heavily reliant on the support of our parent volunteers. Each Family is required to volunteer 10 hours per junior athlete. This includes setting up at regattas, running hospitality tent, and cleanup.
Scholarship Application and Information
A limited number of need-based scholarships are made available to qualified athletes each season. Youth members whose families have demonstrable financial need are eligible to apply for scholarship aid.
Please contact Director of Rowing, Jaime Velez with any scholarship inquiries.

A discount of 10% on the junior athlete program fee will be granted when two or more junior members from the same family participate in LGRC youth programs concurrently. No discount will apply to the first junior athlete's fee, only to the program fee of the second and subsequent junior family members.
