Our organization was born to address the real needs of what was then called "Cape Cod Youth Rowing." The idea was simple: to create a non-profit (called "Cape and Islands Rowing Association, Inc.") to support this program and grow rowing on the Cape. At the heart of this endeavor was, and remains, a core belief that we can find ways to thrive by working together and building a community.

Over the past decade, we have focused our efforts on the development of two primary programs:

Youth Rowing is available to kids throughout the Cape and provides Learn-to-Row and competitive opportunities for Middle and High School aged students.

Masters Rowing ignites interest, builds skills, and promotes camaraderie for adults in the region. This program evolved from an initial Learn-to-Row program into a full-fledged masters program.

It's a Brand New Season:  One Club, One Community, One Name

As we've evolved, we felt it was time to better reflect our club with a new name: Cape Cod Community Rowing! This name reflects how we show up on the beach every day as an encouraging and welcoming community.
