Fish Camp 2015

Texas A&M University’s Fish Camp this summer will be attended by an estimated 6,100 entering freshmen — incoming students who elect to attend the unique orientation program and get a running start on being Aggies.

Freshmen at Texas A&M are called “fish” and Fish Camp gives them the opportunity to quickly learn Aggie traditions, make life-long friends and have lots of fun doing it.

The first of seven four-day sessions of Fish Camp is scheduled to start July 31 and the last session will begin Aug. 18. Fish Camp is conducted at Lakeview Methodist Conference Center near Palestine.

More than 1,200 Aggie upperclassmen — men and women — will be on hand to make the camp experience memorable for the new students. Underscoring their sense of giving back to their university, they will pay their own camp expenses to lend their helping hands by providing leadership and advice based on their Aggie experiences.
