Facilities
Athletic Amenities
Rugby Camp will be held on Bowdoin’s brand new grass rugby facility with lights, bleachers, press box, and more! Bowdoin College’s Pickard Fields cover 35 acres of some of the best groomed field space in New England. Bowdoin College has been the host site for many NESCAC, New England, and Northeast Regional Rugby Tournaments for Division I and II men and women. The USA Women’s Eagles spent their 3-week Residential Camp here, prior to the 2010 World Cup.
Educational Amenities
A modern liberal arts education takes whatever you’re passionate about—history, medicine, music, law, neuroscience, engineering, poetry, teaching, the environment—and helps you understand how it will impact the world around you.
If interested in learning more about a liberal arts education at Bowdoin, plan your visit to schedule a campus tour, info session, and college interview. At camp you’ll meet Bowdoin coaches and team members; available to interested sophomores and juniors.
Housing & Meals
Students are housed in college dorms in Coles Tower with private bedrooms and a large common space. Sheets, pillows and towels are provided. Should you attend as a Commuter, the College has negotiated with local hotels in Brunswick and Freeport for discounted rates for your stay.
Residential campers enjoy three meals/day in Thorne Dining Hall from a wide selection of freshly prepared choices from Bowdoin Dining, the #2 college dining facility in the country! Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are available daily. Other dietary restrictions are easily accommodated. Please note any restrictions on your registration form.
Commuters should plan to arrive and check in, well in advance of the first session each day. Further information about drop off and pick up times and locations will be furnished via email before camp begins. Commuter campers without their own cars should plan on being picked up at 8:45pm. Campers under 18 must check in and out EACH day with camp staff.
Health & Safety
Certified Athletic Trainers and a Nurse are on the sidelines for the duration of the camp and in residence halls, available 24/7. Access to training rooms for supplies and care is available and included in the cost of camp. Should it be necessary, two hospitals are within a 5 and 10 minute drive of Bowdoin College.
