Welcome to Berkshire Community Rowing
The rowing season is in full swing. Please visit Regatta Central at https://www.regattacentral.com to see our full offering of lessons, programs, and memberships.
President’s Message:
The on-water season is in full swing. We are about to finish the new outdoor rack next to Boathouse B and this will give us some much-needed flexibility in getting singles on the water. Our first Learn to Row Intensive class has four new rowers and they’re doing great. They are about half way through their lessons and are already rowing well. We look forward to welcoming them to full club membership after their last class on June 30. We do need volunteer coaches, so if you’re interested — or at least willing — get in touch with me so we can discuss. We have a very clear coaching manual now that will help you know what to do, although you would shadow a coach on your first few times out.
BCR Committees:
We need active, focused committees, and we need you to be an active, focused committee member.
As committee members, we reduce the burdens on the board, we bring specialized expertise, we get things done, and we provide consistency and build institutional knowledge. Check out the presentation Connell McGrath gave at the annual meeting March 18th for details. It’s here.
So . . . volunteer for a BCR Committee of your choice and drive BCR forward!
Sign Up for the 2026 Season

Berkshire Community Rowing (BCR) offers rowing experiences and coaching for people of all ages. We row in individual and team boats, for both recreation and competition. Since 1995, our not-for-profit organization has helped hundreds of people discover their ability to move a shell through the water, or rediscover their love of this. The Berkshire Community Rowing boathouse is located within Burbank Park at Onota Lake, off Valentine Road in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
