In the 1930s, Ship had a Nature Camera Club. This organization brought together students who were passionate about the outdoors and photography.

The 1930s also saw the rise of an all-female Table Tennis Club. These women would practice against one another and hold Table Tennis tournaments to hone their skills.

During the 1970s there was a Fencing Club at the university. Despite the group's small numbers, the Fencing Club provided its members with an opportunity to learn and practice new skills.

Although Shippensburg is not near any oceans, during the '60s and '70s the university's pool was often occupied by the Aquatic Club and the Scuba Club. The Aquatic Club used the pool for swim practice, and the Scuba Club worked on their diving.

Similarly, Shippensburg isn't very close to many ski locations (except during the winter months), but in the 1970s the university had a Ski Club that would take trips to ski resorts near and far to get out and enjoy the slopes.
