Hoofer Sailing Club

When you join the club, your membership fee includes two separate work hour deposits which cover the costs necessary to maintain the club. Every member (except those who purchase only a monthly or winter membership) has the opportunity to earn back their work deposits by volunteering for the club. Learn how to volunteer here.

After earning your first 4 work hours, you can reclaim the first portion of your work deposit ($30). After an additional 4 hours, you can earn back the second portion of your work deposit ($35). This totals to a possible $65 you can earn back by simply giving your time to the club.

**It is important to note that you must redeem your work deposit before the membership term in which you did the work hours expires.**

If you should choose not to redeem your deposit, the funds will be donated directly to the Hoofer Sailing Club.

To check how many work hours you have earned, simply log onto your account on the lessons site.

Once you have earned either 4 or 8 work hours, simply go to the Outdoor Programs Office and ask one of the friendly workers for a refund request form. Your refund will be issued in whichever way you paid for a membership. For example, if you paid with a credit card, the amount will be reimbursed to your card directly. If you paid with cash or a check, the club will mail a check to your address.

We hope in the future to have an online refund form. Check back here for details.
