Camp will focus on sweep rowing and is open to any and all entrants who are experienced high school-aged girls with competitive rowing experience.
Please click on "More Important Camp Details" for specific information about camp.
We offer Overnight and Day (8:00am-3:00pm) camps for girls with at least 1 season of experience on the water.
This camp is geared towards experienced rowers with at least one season of racing who want to get a feel for what it is like to row at an elite Division I university. There will be in depth education and discussion of the rowing stroke, training regimens, and racing tactics. Conditioning and video analysis will take place, as well as exposing camp athletes to the collegiate recruitment process. Camp is intended for rowers and not coxswains.
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).
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.
*Please note, this information is subject to change.
*All camps and clinics are open to any and all entrants, limited only by specified number, age, grade level and/or gender of its participants.

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.
