Membership Categories
There are four categories of membership: Family, Individual, Social, and Island. In addition, there are specific rules that govern guests and grandchildren of Family or Island Members.

Family Membership
Covers a full household including parents and any children under 22 years of age in that household.

Individual Adult Membership
Covers one person over the age of 22. Guest privileges are included with Adult Individual Memberships.

Social Membership
Available to anyone over 22 and includes clubhouse privileges only. Tennis, waterfront, and lesson activities are excluded.

Island Membership
This category is intended to encourage membership by families who are year-round residents of Block Island as evidenced by a current Rhode Island driver’s license with a Block Island address. Proof of residency/school attendance is a requirement to verify eligibility.

Guest Privileges and Restrictions
Guests of members are welcome to use Club facilities for up to five (5) days. Guests taking group lessons are charged two tickets per lesson. Anyone wishing to use the Club for longer than five days should join as a member themselves.

Grandparent Rule
Visiting grandchildren of members may use Club facilities and take classes as described in Guest Privileges and Restrictions, i.e. each grandchild may use the Club facilities for a maximum of five (5) days and pay two tickets for each group lesson.

Parents of visiting grandchildren of members are required to join the Club themselves if they and/or their children plan to use the Club for more than five (5) days.

Adult children of members may use the club facilities for “Occasional Use”, i.e. up to two (2) weekends or one (1) week per season per guest. Those wishing to make more frequent use of the Club are required to join themselves.

Family memberships purchased in conjunction with a Grandparent Membership receive a 25% discount from the regular rate. This discount applies only to a parent/child relationship, not a sibling relationship.

Lessons
Lessons are an additional cost to the membership fee. Scheduled group lessons are one ticket for swimming, tennis and arts & crafts and 2 tickets for sailing. Private lessons for one individual are five tickets with two additional tickets charged for each additional participant. Tickets are sold in books of ten for $100 and may be purchased at the front desk during Club operating hours. No one shall be permitted in a class without a ticket.
