Typical rentals range from $150–$210, depending on selected add-ons.
Standard Day Rental

For smaller gatherings or limited-duration use, hourly rental options may be available by approval. See Hourly Use section below.
Hourly Use (By Approval Only)
The facility may be available for limited hourly use when it is not otherwise scheduled.

Hourly use is intended for small group activities, practices, or individual sessions and does not include exclusive full-day access.
Extended hourly use may require a Standard Day Rental at RORC’s discretion.
All hourly use requests must be approved by RORC management and are subject to availability.
