The EYC has transitioned to ClubSpot! ClubSpot is our new system that manages BOTH membership dues and our lesson program registrations — all in one place with a single login.
MEMBERSHIP
If you were an active member in 2025, you should receive an email this week with an invoice for your 2026 dues to the club.
The EYC is moving to a new club management system, Clubspot, this season. Clubspot will be a one-stop shop for our community to sign up for membership, renew membership, lessons, dry slip rentals, and review racing results: all from a single login! In the future, we anticipate this same system to also handle our calendar and signups for ticketed events.
For mailed renewals, please send to:
Ephraim Yacht Club
P.O. Box 331
Ephraim, WI 54211
We look forward to the simplified experience Clubspot will provide our members. Stay tuned for further updates. We are targeting a February 1st launch for membership and lesson enrollment through Clubspot.
