Oars of Gratitude
Full plates. Full hearts. One crew.
Before the holiday rush begins, let's take a moment to celebrate the people who make SCAR special. Join our athletes, families, and coaches for Oars of Gratitude, a Thanksgiving potluck filled with good food, great company, and plenty of reasons to be thankful. Bring a favorite dish to share and enjoy conversation, laughter, and community as we reflect on the friendships, accomplishments, and memories we've built together throughout the season. Whether you're new to the crew or a longtime SCAR family, there's always room at the table.

Ho Ho! Row!
Good friends. Great cookies. One crew. Happy holidays!
'Tis the season to celebrate with your SCAR crew! Join us for Ho Ho Row!, our annual holiday gathering filled with festive fun, friendly competition, and plenty of holiday cheer. Athletes are invited to bring their favorite homemade cookies for our SCAR Cookie Contest & Exchange—show off your baking skills, vote for your favorites, and take home a variety of treats from your teammates.
We'll also enjoy a White Elephant Gift Exchange, a festive Hot Chocolate Bar loaded with toppings, and a special Alumni Row, where former SCAR athletes can hop back in a boat and reunite with old teammates. Whether you're here for the cookies, the gifts, the rowing, or just the chance to celebrate with friends, this is the perfect way to wrap up the year together.
Come hungry, come festive, and come ready for a holly-jolly good time with your SCAR family!
