Welcome to Camp Randall, the premier rowing club for students from throughout the greater Madison area!   We offer a summer Learn to Row program for middle and high school students, and a year-round Junior competitive rowing program for high school students. CRRC’s WeCanRow program is targeted to female cancer survivors.  The club also offers limited rack rental availability for boat storage.

Camp Randall Rowing Club was established in 1995 by a group of Olympic and elite University of Wisconsin rowers. We row out of the restored Brittingham Boathouse on Monona Bay in Madison, Wisconsin.

Upcoming Dates and Deadlines

Registration for our High School and Middle School Summer Learn-to-Row programs is underway!  Current rowers and parents are our best ambassadors, so be sure to spread the word!  Let other students and their parents hear what your experience has been like rowing with CRRC.  Interested in registering or learning more?

 A huge thank you to the Rochester and Milwaukee Rowing Clubs for making the trek to Madison and taking part in the Brittingham Regatta!            *For results…http://row2k.com/results/resultspage.cfm?UID=6947512&cat=2#.T7F3XIl5mc0

IMPORTANT!!  The date for the Awards/Boat Dedication/End-of-Year Potluck has been changed to Tuesday, May 29.  Stay tuned for details.

Super-fun fundraising opportunity!!!   We will once again be “manning” a water station for the 2012 Madison Marathon on Sunday, May 27, 6:30am – 1:15pm. If we get at least 30 rowers to help, we raise $650 for the CRRC Scholarship Fund.  We have a primo location this year…we’ll be located on the terrace side of the Machinery Row Parking Lot!!!   Also looking for a few parent volunteers as well. This is a truly inspiring event, so sign up to help, get a free t-shirt (need to register online), log some volunteer hours, make some money for the club and hang out with friends!!!

Important!  There have been a few updates to the website, subsequent to the Junior Parent Meeting.

• Information regarding the specific hotels at which the club has reserved space for our “away” regattas has now been added to the list of Upcoming Events, under the respective regatta.  If traveling to these regattas, you can check with our travel coordinators to see if there are extra rooms available for your use in our reserved block of rooms.  Contact information for the hotels is also included if you would rather make your own reservations or book  a nearby hotel.
• Under the “Links & Resources” tab, links to some useful rowing-related websites have been added.  This includes a link to the USRowing Scholastic Honor Roll information page, where you’ll find dates, criteria for application and access to the application materials. The Class of 2013 begins applying this spring.
