The Friends of Milton Crew manage the Milton High School rowing program which recently achieved varsity status. The program is enjoying its 4th season on the Neponset. The Friends are now raising funds to grow and offer a community program. We are planning a junior club program for all area students in the spring to be followed by a masters program for adults.

In its initial year and a half the Friends of Milton Crew have secured a matching $36,000.00 grant from the DCR to construct a dock at Neponset Park off Granite Ave., organized and hosted the South Shore Invitational Regatta taking place this year on Oct 13th, offering the community a first of its kind summer rowing program for youth at all levels of rowing from Milton landing on Wharf Street.

Help us move forward. Come join us for a great night of good cheer, rowing and sports talk.
