The Citadel Boating Center began as the Citadel Yacht Club and has been in existence since the 1920's. Access to the facility began as a small creek meandering through the marsh - accessible at high tide only. Through the efforts of then President General Mark Clark the channel was constructed in 1955 for better access to the Ashley River. The Boating Center has a small fleet of power and sailboats that are available for use by Citadel Faculty, Staff, Cadets and Graduate Students who have passed the South Carolina Basic Boating Course and the Citadel Boating Safety Course. The Boating Center Staff and the South Carolina Department of Ocean and Natural Resources teach both courses on campus. Other courses taught on campus include a Waterskiing class and a Sailing and Canoeing class. The Citadel Summer Camp, a residential sports camp for boy and girls ages 10-15, use the boats extensively. The Boating Center also has a volleyball court and two gas grills. Two floating docks provide access to the water.
