From the second you step foot onto the bus for camp, counselors will be by your side to get you ready for the Hokie Camp experience. You will be given the opportunity to build strong bonds through small group facilitation and numerous competitive activities. Ranging from the low-ropes elements to the towering rock climbing wall, it is guaranteed that you will be personally challenged along the way.
Want to meet new people?
Through your small group discussions and our bonfire session at night, you will be able to connect with others at camp and find a niche of friends even before the fall semester begins. Hokie Camp will prove to be a life changing experience for those in the class of 2013, ultimately transforming those students in attendance into true Hokies!
Worried about classes?
