The club provides opportunities for members to enjoy both social gatherings and on-the-water events throughout the year. Social events are typically held in June, July, August, and December, offering a fun and relaxed way for neighbors and friends to connect.
SLBC also sponsors a variety of recreational boating activities, including:
