WCC is a private club run by its members and for its members. We pride ourselves on the active participation of our members in club activities. Members regularly volunteer their time and effort in maintaining our century old clubhouse and grounds, keeping our floating assets in tip-top shape, organizing and coaching our competitive teams, and assisting in the logistics of hosting a regatta or social event. WCC is always interested in new members who are looking to be an active participant in our vibrant club life.
Full Membership
Full membership grants the member and their spouse full use of the club facilities, a locker for both the member and their spouse, and storage for a single canoe or kayak. Lockers and rack space for boats is limited and may not be immediately available to new members. Full membership is capped at 200 and currently there is a waiting list; however, interested people are encouraged to submit an application for consideration.Aquatics Membership
Aquatics members are paddlers, age 23 and under, who are training and competing with one of the club racing programs. Based on availability, aquatics members may store a single canoe or kayak at the club. Aquatics members under the age of 18 are not assigned a locker and are not permitted to use the club unsupervised. Aquatics members 18 and over may be given unsupervised use of the club for training purposes at the discretion of the Commodore or their coach. They may also have a locker if one is available. There is no cap on aquatics membership.Member-in-Waiting
The member-in-waiting category was created for paddlers over the age of 23 who wish to actively train and compete with one of the club racing programs while their name is on the waiting list for full membership. People accepted into this category may use the club facilities and assets to train and compete, but are not assigned a locker or boat storage. Members in waiting are required to compete for WCC in three major racing events within a calendar year of their acceptance. Failure to meet the competitive requirement for this category is cause for termination of member-in-waiting status. There is no cap on the member-in-waiting category.Applying for Membership
