WANT TO LEARN TO ROW?
NEWARK YOUTH (REGISTER NOW)
Brick City Rowing Club is a non-profit public benefit corporation that exists to promote competitive youth rowing within the City of Newark, NJ. To accomplish this, we are partnering with local schools & community organizations to build a program that is championed across the globe.
We offer year-round competitive rowing programs for middle school and high school students on the Passaic River. Hundreds of student athletes have rowed with our coaching staff. We consider all as our family!
Along the way, many of our junior rowers have won numerous events and many of our alumni have gone on to (and are currently) row at top colleges/universities across the country.

THE PATH FORWARD

Phase 1 (Dock Build & Installation)
Brick City Rowing will fund and build a state of the art dock to serve our community for decades to come. BCR athletes, families, local community organizations, and recreational craftsmen/women will gain greater access to the Passaic River.
A 300 foot floating dock system, will enable us to facilitate youth rowing within the City of Newark, while having minimal impact on the natural habitat of the Passaic River.
With the dock installed and basic capital/landscaping improvements to our site complete, we can take two critical steps towards establishing a new home for our youth.
Phase 2 (City Wide Middle School Programming, Learn-to-Rows, and Regattas)
With the dock installed and basic capital/landscaping improvements to our site complete, programming for the youth of Newark can begin immediately (without the construction of our future boathouse).
Our goal is to begin by expanding our competitive program offerings to middle school students (both female and male) throughout the city. Learn-to-Row sessions and summer camps will be available for other age groups as well. The installation of the dock in conjunction with the aforementioned capital/landscaping improvements will allow us to host regattas within the City of Newark, for the first time since 1901.
BCR is committed to partnering with the City of Newark, NJ Transit, locally owned restaurants, hotels, and retail vendors to support these events within our city.
Phase 3 (World Class Training Facility for our Kids & Families)
The people of Newark are strong and resilient. Our kids and families should have access to the best facilities in America. Together we can make that a reality - building a boathouse for our community and by our community.
Brick City Rowing is committed to collaborating with Municipal & County leaders, prominent architects, and donors to build a state-of-the-art boathouse that our community will be proud of.
Students and families throughout the city will gain greater access and be able to enjoy the Passaic River in a new way.
