TRANSPORATION

Due to University and NCAA Policies, we are not allowed to offer any transportation to and from camps. The airport closest to the Clemson campus is Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP). The airport is approximately 45 minutes from Clemson's campus. Other regional, international airports include: Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL).

SCHOLARSHIPS

We cannot offer scholarships due to NCAA regulations. Our affiliation with NCAA coaches and schools puts us in a position where any scholarship money can be seen as an inducement to a future collegiate athlete. This puts our coaches and our host universities in jeopardy of damaging their status with the NCAA and incurring penalties at the hands of their organizing body.

Clemson rowing boathouse facility

Only a quarter of a mile from the other athletic facilities, the boathouse seems worlds apart lying in a secluded wooded area on the shore of one of the Southeast’s largest lakes. With 56,000 acres of water and 962 miles of shoreline, Lake Hartwell offers plenty of rowable water. Lake Hartwell facilitates an ideal venue for the Tigers’ fully bouyed, six-lane 2000m race course. The entire course is visible from the boathouse.
