The Kent School Boat Club was founded in 1922 on the banks of the Housatonic River as Kent School's rowing team. KSBC has three varsity boats and one fourth boat, which races in a few of the varsity races. KSBC only races in the spring, and conducts its spring training in Tampa during the school's spring vacation. In June 2010, KSBC won gold in the Men's Eight at the U.S Rowing Youth National Championship.
