 ABOUT GHRC Greater
Houston Rowing Club (GHRC) promotes and provides competitive and
recreational
rowing for all ages in the community, fostering sportsmanship,
teamwork,
fitness and camaraderie. Founded
in 1988 by 5 rowers, the organization continues to grow. The
volunteer-based
group offers clinics and instruction for beginning rowers, competitive
opportunities for its members, and access to GHRC boats and equipment. Throughout
the year we sponsor members at regional and national races. Locally, we
host a
“Learn to Row” USRowing national event in the
community
where anyone curious
about the sport can come and give it a try. In addition, we participate
in Keep
Sugar Land Beautiful events by organizing creek clean-ups on Oyster
Creek. We’ve
hosted workshops on boat rigging and led a charity mini-regatta
benefiting a
local shelter for families in crisis. Participating in
corporate
and
community health and fitness fairs and providing in-service instruction
for the
Fort Bend ISD physical education department, we encourage a healthy
lifestyle
for all ages. For years GHRC
was based in a compound of shipping containers near the
Sugar
Land Cancer Center at the intersections of 59 and Oyster Creek. In
2006 the GHRC
began the process to build a new boathouse upstream from the
containers. The boathouse is a result of collaboration
between
Planned Community Developers, First Colony Community Association and
the
Greater Houston Rowing Club. The 4,800 square foot building houses
GHRC
programs and equipment as well as First Colony Community Association
sponsored
water recreation programs. (more about us)
