This summer, our busiest season, has once again experienced a record number of summer rowers. This meant more rowers, more crews, more boats in & out, and more organizing. Of course we could not have accomplished this without the help of our amazing staff. Many high school and returning college students, along with our experienced staff have worked together to provide you with a unique and memorable rowing experience. We hope you have found your time on the water and around the boathouse to have been enjoyable, sometimes challenging, and always something that leaves you glad you chose to join CMI!
Please join us for our annual Coxn/Staff Appreciation celebration is scheduled for
Friday August 9th 4-6pm
at the Cohasset Lightkeepers Bancroft Hall, 15 Lighthouse Ln Cohasset
We will provide sandwich platters, pizza, and few other bites as well as light refreshments.

This is completely optional, but every year we get requests from rowers and crews interested in providing a monetary gift of thanks to our dedicated staff. We also know they look forward to it and appreciate it as many could often make more money elsewhere, yet most return to CMI! (We think it's because of you, our rowers!) For your convenience you may use our payment portal when using credit cards and/or for simple words of appreciation. If you prefer to use venmo, cash or check please see below for further instructions.Our 2024 CMI summer staff
