Campus Life

Club Sports

Club Sports at Washington College are completely student driven. The small population leads to a variety of interests every year. The majority of interests are mainstays in student life.

The Student Government Association allows every student the chance to start their own club. Every year SGA allocates money to recognized clubs for the purpose of following their passions. Whether it is horseback riding, Rugby, or Wakeboarding, there is a club out there for each and every student.

If interested in creating a Club Sport follow the guidelines in the Club Sports Handbook!

Wakeboard & Water Ski Club

Wakeboard and Water Ski

The Wakeboard & Water Ski club is a student oriented club that gives individuals the chance to get out on the water. The school has provided the club with a 22' water ski boat to provide maximum fun in the sun. Not only do students get a chance to explore the scenic Chester River, but they have the opportunity to learn how to water ski or wakeboard. These 2 water sports are growing rapidly in MD and VA, and the school has recognized this and provided us the resources to enjoy them. We not only wakeboard and water ski, we also like to have fun and go tubing. Even if your not interested in getting in the water, come out on the boat, get a tan, just hangout. The wakeboard and water ski club is more than a club, it's an experience.
