A community of rowers who never lost their pursuit of fitness or love of the water. From Henley to Bled to Boston — we compete on the world stage.
Equipment, travel, boat rentals, and international entry fees all add up. Your donation directly supports our athletes competing at Henley, Bled, and beyond.
Every contribution — at any level — makes a real difference to our club.
The Olden Bears Rowing Club is a community of rowers who generally — but not exclusively — competed for the University of California Golden Bears. We are not officially affiliated with Cal, Cal Crew, or UC Berkeley.
Based in the Greater New York / New Jersey area, we race at regional, national, and international regattas and welcome all rowers who share our love of the sport.
International regattas require early coordination for travel, equipment shipping, and accommodation. Contact the captain as soon as possible.
