Frequently Asked Questions (and the answers to them)
ROCK Membership
You can join our section on the field at any launch! Annual dues for the entire family are $15 (discounted to $10 if one is a member of the National Association of Rocketry). This fee goes towards the club equipment purchase and maintenance and our NAR Section insurance.
NAR membership is not required to be a member of ROCK or to fly at our launches.
However, we strongly encourage joining NAR!
The benefits to joining NAR include support of the hobby at a national level, a subscription to the excellent Sport Rocketry magazine, and a $2 Million insurance policy covering your rocketry activities. NAR membership also allows you to compete in local, regional, and national rocketry competitions. Visit www.nar.org for all the details and benefits.
Keep in mind, that our NAR section insurance does not cover your rocket activity, only our section liability. NAR’s section insurance protects just the club and the launch site’s landowners. If you join NAR, your membership includes personal insurance that protexts you anytime you fly rockets – at a club launch or not – as long as you abide by the NAR safety codes and membership rules .
No, although we hope you will decide to join ROCK, you are welcome to attend one of our launches and fly your rockets even if you are not a member of ROCK.
You can join our club at one of our monthly launches. See our Membership page for more information on joining ROCK.
