DawgCamp connects current and future leaders in the spirit of UGA’s history and traditions while developing friendships in a fun environment. DawgCamp provides a foundation for a successful college experience.
What is Dawg Camp?
Well… indescribable. You have to experience it for yourself, but you can read more about each of the programs throughout our website. Check out actual staff and participant blogs all about the Dawg Camp experience, or see tons of pictures here.
But really…
The Center for Leadership and Service, Student Activities, and the Georgia Outdoor Recreation Program at UGA sponsor a series of summer programs called Dawg Camp for incoming first-year students. For years, Dawg Camp has been highly successful in facilitating the transition from high school to college by providing participants with exposure to student life at UGA before move-in day.
Dawg Camp participants are mentored by upper-class student leaders and have the chance to make connections and get a head start on their college careers by learning about leadership, service, and involvement opportunities.
Please take a few minutes to look around the site to learn about our programs! With several options to choose from, there is something for every new University of Georgia student, though you don’t have to limit yourself to just one.
