Why Attend

Camp Texas is the best possible way to get a head start at UT! Spend three days at a lakefront ranch outside of Austin with other incoming freshmen to make friends, have fun, and learn about life on the 40 acres.

Students who attend Camp Texas consistently go on to be campus leaders and have fulfilling experiences at the University. It's a rare opportunity to interact with some of UT's best faculty and staff in a casual Hill Country setting among future friends, roommates, and classmates. Our counselor staff is made up of outstanding campus leaders that will be your personal guides to getting involved, finding your way on campus, and easing your transition into college life.

Camp Texas is part informational, part social, and part leadership training. It features small-group activities, seminars with distinguished faculty, free time, lake time, and a closing-night luau.
