What are the steps involved in joining CRPC?

It's as easy as 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 !!


MEMBERSHIP JOINING PROCESS


(1) APPLY:

 

The application can be found on the Club's website at CR-PC.ORG. Click on "Member Application" in the top right corner of the Home Page or select the [MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION] tab, click on "Join the Club", and then “Member Application” to proceed through the online application and pay a $50 non-refundable application fee. Our Membership Director will then be notified and will send you an invitation to attend an Orientation Meeting at our Outdoor Range. It may take anywhere from 2-8 weeks to receive an invitation depending on the size of our waiting list. A virtual orientation for you to review prior to attending the meeting will be sent along with the invitation.

Please note: The online application is only available on the Non-Member side of the website.



(2) VIRTUAL ORIENTATION:


The Virtual Orientation describes the Club's history, mission, general rules, regulations, policies, procedures, and range safety rules.



(3) ORIENTATION MEETING:


The meeting includes a range tour, a review of the Conditional Member process, and concludes with collection of the joining fees. At that time, you will also be given your Conditional Membership badge and may begin using the Club facilities to move through the Conditional Member process.



(4) BACKGROUND CHECK:


Each applicant will be required to pass a background check in order to join the Club. Once you confirm that you are attending an orientation meeting, you will be sent a link to have a background check performed by an independent agency. It is your responsibility to submit your confidential information to that agency prior to attending the Orientation meeting.



(5) CONDITIONAL STATUS:


After attending the Orientation Meeting, the Board of Directors will officially vote each applicant in at the next board meeting. Upon being approved for membership by the CRPC Board, the applicant becomes a CRPC Member in a conditional status.  While in a conditional status you may bring guests, but they cannot shoot, and until you have successfully passed range safety/shooting qualifications you may not shoot on CRPC Ranges without supervision.

 

A new Member remains in a conditional status for a minimum of 6 calendar months, must complete the following requirements, and have them signed off on their tracking sheet to become a permanent Member:

  • Connect with an assigned Member Ambassador to assist you in navigating the membership process.
  • Participate in 6 hours of volunteer service that benefits the Club.
  • Complete Rules Video and online Test.
  • Incur no violations of Club rules, regulations, policies or procedures.

After a minimum of 6 months have elapsed, with the successful completion of all Conditional Member requirements and the transmittal of the evidences to the Club Secretary, the board will vote on your permanent membership and you will be awarded a permanent CRPC General Membership badge and you will become a General Member in good standing.
