Trial period: We allow for a one-month trial period for first time members.
If you decide within this month that you do not want to stay a member after all, you can discuss a refund of the remaining membership fee with our office manager. After this one-month period, your membership fee becomes non-refundable.
Refund policy: As a rule, we do not offer refunds on current memberships. However, if your reasons are medical or particularly extenuating, you may petition the board to review your request for a refund.

Membership Renewal
Members need to renew their membership in the spring. You are not allowed on the water if you have not renewed your membership and paid your fees. If you go on the water without having renewed your membership you face sanctions.
Recreational summer memberships
The recreational program offers a summer membership for recreational members who use the equipment and facilities between May 15th and September 30th only.
However, all members of the Club are considered annual members for club purposes (AQA/RCA, insurance, volunteering, your presence at general assembly). If at the end of the summer, a "summer member" would like to extend their membership to an annual recreational membership, he/she only has to pay the difference towards the annual membership.
