Ladies Luncheon
Grab lunch with the ladies of Grand Forks Yacht Club and talk all things nautical. Did you hear why Greg really reupholstered his yacht? Or about Sally’s new croquet set? How scandalous.
Pirate Party
Shiver me timbers, let’s find some buried treasure! Hang out with the crew and learn a thing or two about parleys, why dead men tell no tales, and try to snag a coveted buccaneer pin.
Honorary Captain Day
Join us as we celebrate our Honorary Captain, a coveted title nominated at the Griggs Awards.
The Griggs Summer Games
Croquet, Bocce Ball, Horseshoes, oh my! Take part in the Griggs Summer Games, whether it be in our tournament or free play, we have multiple activities available.
Fishing Club
Whether you have a watercraft or not, join the crew at our Fishing Club. Held seasonally on the banks of the lovely Red River, spend time with club members fishing for catfish.
Aquafit
Get active with Aquafit (weather permitting)! Jump into the Red River and use a non-motorized vehicle (tubes, kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, paddleboats, etc.) as we travel the Red River as Captain Griggs did, while working up a sweat.
