We are pleased to offer a range of camps at Shiplake College each summer. Bookings for the 2026 rowing camps will open on 16 December and the other camps in mid-February.
The Rowing Camps prove hugely popular every year, catering for around 60 students per week and giving access to Shiplake College’s enviable fleet of boats, world-class boathouse and our own very experienced and professional coaches. We hope that the five-day camp gives students an insight in to what it is like to be part of one of the UK’s most successful rowing schools, whilst also developing their skills out on the river. The camps are for girls and boys going into Years 9 to 13 (those going into Year 8 are able to book for the first non-residential week only).
