Lake Sunapee Rowing Club

Lake Sunapee Rowing Club (LSRC) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization providing rowing opportunities to all members of the community surrounding Lake Sunapee, New Hampshire. Founded in 2007, LSRC is dedicated to providing rowing opportunities for individuals of all ages, abilities and experience. LSRC also partners with New England Handicapped Sports Association (NEHSA) to provide adaptive rowing opportunities.

The sport of rowing is a non-impact activity that involves all of the major muscle groups and can be enjoyed life-long. Rowing not only provides benefits of physical fitness, but also enhances skills in teamwork and mental discipline, and crew members enjoy great camaraderie.

Since 2008, over 100 people have participated in rowing in the Lake Sunapee area thanks to LSRC programs. Current membership consists of approximately 75 members ranging in age from 12 to 70+ and LSRC is led by an active eight-member volunteer Board of Directors.

During the 2010 season the club purchased a quad which is a boat for four scullers (rowers using two oars each.) Last spring, the Lake Sunapee Bank sponsored the club by paying for the purchase of four sets of sculling oars and for the painting of the quad. This boat, together with our double, allows the coach the flexibility of giving each participant who shows up a chance to row. The club also entered the quad in the Methuen City Sprints Regatta.

Funding for Lake Sunapee Rowing Club comes from member fees, tax-deductible donations, and fundraising activities. Donations are accepted at any time using Paypal.
