General Info FAQ's

How do I register for Community Rowing & Paddling programs?

You can register for all programs online or by calling the UBC Boathouse Facility Manager at 604-247-2627.

When is registration open?

Registration for all programs is typically open several months prior to the program start date.

What facilities do I have access to while I am at the UBC Boathouse?

All rowing and paddling participants have full access to the washroom and change room facilities. The change room facilities include showers.

I want to register for a water program, but need to miss a few sessions. Can you pro-rate them?

We are unable to pro-rate any Learn to programs as attendance at all sessions is required in order to successfully complete the program. For league programs, we can pro-rate if you are unable to attend 1/3 or more of the program consecutively.

Why is attendance at a registered program so important?

Rowing and paddling sports require a certain number of people in order to run successfully. If the minimum number of people do not show up, the program is unable to run that day.

Do I have to have the pre-requisite before registering for the next program?

In order to register for a program requiring a pre-requisite, you must first be enrolled in the pre-requisite program. Successful completion of the pre-requisite is required prior to the start date of the more advanced program.

I am looking for a team building activity for my staff team/school group/community organization - do you have programs available?

Yes, we offer a variety of team building packages for both rowing and paddling sports. All packages are fully customizable and can include the water session as well as catering options, room rentals and other special requests. Check out our Team Building & Corporate Packages.
