[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crew is insanely expensive. But my daughter got a college rowing scholarship, so in the end it was worth it.[/quote] How is crew expensive? Do you need your own boat? Specialized camps?[/quote] Our tuition was $2600 a year. Trips were additional and several of the regattas were out of state. Special training camps just added to the cost. I would estimate that we spent between $5,000 and $6,000 every year. To me, that is expensive. Those "boats" (called shells) cost about $45,000 each. The oars alone can be $400 each. You are paying to offset the high cost of the equipment. Owning or renting a large waterfront boathouse with storage is costly. Maintenance on the property and equipment is expensive. It's a great sport, but it isn't cheap.[/quote]
