Membership

The Oakland County Boat Club (O.C.B.C.) is made up of 350 members, not including life members. New members prospects are considered and voted on as openings become available.

Prospective members require a current member to propose them for membership along with two sponsors. If you are interested in becoming a member, please contact your current member proposer and sponsors who will keep you abreast of developments.
