Support Camp Randall Rowing Club to help keep it strong for our NEXT 30 years!

Camp Randall Rowing Club celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2025. Help us set a strong foundation for our next 30 years with your gift today! Your support will help us strengthen our programs to help young people become not only great athletes but also strong, determined, community-focused humans.

Camp Randall Rowing Club's purpose is:

instructing, training, and encouraging young people in the sport of competitive rowing
promoting teamwork
creating an inclusive culture where all youth, coaches, families, and volunteers feel a sense of belonging and unity in our club and in the larger community
developing amateur competition
promoting lifelong health and wellness
providing understanding and appreciation of the sport of rowing
partnering with the City of Madison to renovate, maintain, and utilize the historic and beautiful Brittingham Boathouse

To accomplish these goals, Camp Randall Rowing Club offers:

"Learn-to-Row" programs for high school and middle school
Junior Competitive Rowing program, with regattas and scrimmages all over the country
"WeCanRow", which provides wellness and recovery opportunities through rowing for female cancer survivors
Financial aid to remove barriers for people who want to participate
Rental space for rowing shells and oars

The rowers and their families volunteer continually throughout the year to raise funds for the club, and the ergathon is our main fundraising outreach to the community. Your support of CRRC during our 2026 Erg-a-Thon campaign means a lot because these funds allow the club to develop our coaching staff, invest in our programs, and maintain our fleet of rowing shells, oars, rowing machines, and other equipment necessary for practice and competition.

There HAS to be some Erging if this is an Ergathon!! Here's how the 2026 Ergathon Event will work

Four CRRC Junior Rowing Teams will compete against each other on Saturday, February 28th, to see who can erg 100,000 meters! Each team will get four ergs (rowing machines), and each team member has to share the load equally to row that distance.

The twist: to incentivize our rowers in their fundraising efforts—and our donors who are rooting for them—every $1 a team raises between now and February 28th means 2 fewer meters they have to row. For example, if a team collectively raises $10,000 by February 28th, that team only has to row a total of only 80,000 meters on the day of the competition.

The first team to go their distance wins the ergathon and special prizes!

Who can give it all for CRRC? We can't wait to see what our dedicated rowers—and our donors—can accomplish

Our goal this year is to raise at least $40,000. That's a big goal, but with your help, we really believe we can make it; any donation counts. We thank you for your support!
