Residential Camps (Week 2 and 3)
Boys and girls from any school (including overseas) are warmly invited to our residential camps. A typical daily rowing programme would consist of breakfast followed by pilates/stretching prior to heading out on the water. Following the end of the rowing camp itself at 5.00pm, residents will have light activities such as swimming or rest and there will be a programme of evening events after dinner, such as local trips and activities. There will also be the option to visit the world famous Leander Club for a tour and evening meal. Boarders will be accommodated in single rooms with joint washroom facilities and common areas.
Participants on the residential camps are asked to arrive on the Monday morning and to depart at 5pm on the Friday. For an additional cost there is the option to stay the Sunday evening before the camp starts if required. The residential camp option costs £750, with an additional £80 to stay the Sunday night.
Every measure will be taken to ensure the safety of our students during the camps. Our refunds policy can be seen in the Terms and Conditions on the booking form.
