There is no direct government funding available for this type of youth programming, therefore, Bayside Rowing Club must generate its own revenues in order to be self sufficient.

This simple premise dictates that in order to accomplish the things we would like to - for youth at-risk - we need to have programs for adults. The money generated from the adult programs help pay for the kids programs. Also, boats used by the kids during the daytime hours are utilized in the evenings for our adult fund-raising programs.

Therefore, the formula for success could read as follows:

Kids (boats by day) x Adults (boats by night) = Efficient Use of Resources

The following are brief descriptions of our adult (money generating) programs:

1) Adult Rowing League & Corporate Challenge - This fun league is operated like a softball league. It is offered once each week for ten (10) weeks. Company teams spend the first five weeks learning and the next five weeks racing each other for fun and competition. The league wraps up at the Corporate Crew Classic Regatta held at the end of July. (This program is operated by the Friends of Bayside Rowing Club)

2) Adult Learn to Row - This program teaches rowing to adults in the form of lessons. These lessons are held twice each week (Saturday and Sunday mornings) over the period of four weeks with sessions being held throughout the summer.
