As a nonprofit volunteer organization, BIAC depends on the contributions of time and energy from its members to maintain boats and the club premises. All annual adult memberships require a volunteer commitment of 12 hours per year. Members who cannot make this commitment can opt out up front by paying an additional annual fee of $250. You must indicate your preference on the Membership Application. Note that this requirement applies only to Annual Memberships. For more information on volunteering at BIAC, click here.
Masters and full-time college students can select a quarterly membership, which is valid for three months from the date of membership activation. Both memberships include the use of BIAC equipment.
Please note that, per BIAC's By-Laws, membership dues are not refundable.
