Per our Constitution, a new member must:

1.) Complete a online Prospective Member application: Member Sign-up
2.) Sign up for a New Member Orientation Class, they can be found the last Wednesday of each month: Event Calendar
3.) Be approved by a two-thirds vote of the members present and voting at the Membership meeting proceeding the Orientation.
3.) Attend the New Member Orientation (You will receive a confirmation e-mail of the vote.)
4.) Pay the initiation fee, access card fee and first year dues at the orientation (Cash, Card, Cheque are accepted)

When you submit your online membership application it will remain in a "Prospective" state for four (4) months until you complete steps 2-4 above. All members can renew online via this website once they obtain a login.

If you need proof of membership for CMP or other similar organizations, please contact the membership secretary and request a letter of membership. Please include your access card number in the email.

Special Note To New Shooters and Those Unfamiliar with Range Safety Protocols:

WSSA may require that new shooters, or anyone unfamiliar with range safety protocols when using ranges without a designated Range Safety Officer, attend a live-fire WSSA Range Safety Orientation. The orientation will be held at WSSA facilities and be provided by WSSA member volunteers the appropriate skills and training to help orient new shooters to WSSA range safety protocols. Scheduling will be coordinated on an as needed basis between new members and the WSSA volunteers providing the orientation.

Please note that we are a private, gated club, and so you will need an appointment to take a tour.
