Our Mission

Our mission is to provide rowing opportunities for adults for recreation, competition, fitness, and community.

History

The Kitsap Sailing and Rowing Foundation (KSRF) was founded in 2006 as an outcome of a Leadership Kitsap Program. 

With a successful sailing program running for eight years as a Kitsap County Parks and Recreation program, the KSRF focused attention on starting a rowing program.

Clam Island Rowing was founded in 2013 with John Lind and Bridget Burke. After two seasons as a Kitsap County Parks and Recreation program, Clam Island left the County and became a Port of Silverdale Program. 

In 2017 Clam Island Rowing became its own non-profit, volunteer-run organization.  Currently Clam Island Rowing is operating coached adult Master’s Scull Programs, adult Learn to Row Programs, and also has an adult Captain’s Crew Program for independent sculling.

Location

The Clam Island Rowing boatyard is located in Old Town Silverdale at the southeast corner of NW Byron Street and McConnell Ave NW, next to the Kitsap Art Center.  Parking for rowers is at the nearby lot on the east side of the Old Town Mercantile (across from the Peninsula BrewHouse).
