ABOUT

Our Boathouse

Thanks to the generosity of our amazing community, the RCiR Sculling Center is now a reality!


Located at 20 Black Creek Road, just off of Ballantyne Road near the Genesee River, the RCiR Sculling Center was completed in December of 2019. This 6,000 sq ft. state of the art, ADA compliant facility is allowing us to further our mission of providing rowing opportunities to veterans and disabled people in a safe and supportive learning environment.

Although we completed the construction of the facility in 2019, we had to delay our ribbon cutting due to the Pandemic. Stay tuned for the details of our celebration in the Spring of 2022!

Space is available for the 2022 season. Reach out to set up a tour and learn more about storing your shell at the RCiR Boathouse! Contact Us.

Special Thanks to the Greater Rochester Rowing Community!

RCiR wishes to acknowledge our robust rowing community and we look forward to continued collaborations as we move forward.

We are thankful to Genesee Rowing Club for housing RCiR as we built our methodology for inclusion / adaptive sculling and our boathouse at 20 Black Creek.

Many thanks to all of our supporters.
