VIRC is a private, non-profit club that offers competitive and recreational rowing for youth and adult members of the Vashon Island community. Our Club is diverse in age, gender and skill levels, offers opportunities to row competitively or recreationally, and connects its members with our marine environment. We are supportive as teammates and enjoy each other’s company, both on and off the water. Our venue is remarkable for its natural beauty and variety of rowing options. We have taught more than 500 people to row and sent dozens of Juniors to college on rowing scholarships.

Equity Statement: We strive to create a boathouse community where all are welcome and safe. We recognize that this takes work and that we will make mistakes. We are committed as a team to an action-oriented intersectional approach to anti-racism, equity, justice, diversity, and inclusion.

Core Values:
1. Respectful. We respect ourselves, our community, and our teammates.
2. Accountable. We are accountable for our blade, effort, and actions.
3. Driven. We come to practice every day, trying to make this day better than the last
