All incoming freshmen who are looking to get that competitive edge on their first year experience at Tarleton State University.

What
Duck Camp provides students with the opportunity to make the transition from high school to college much easier by meeting new friends, learning the rich heritage and traditions of Tarleton, and just plain ol' having fun!

When
Duck Camp I (August 7-9), Duck Camp II (August 14-16)

The Cost
Duck Camp 2008 is $125 (non-refundable). This price includes three days and two nights at camp, eight meals, an official Duck Camp t-shirt, bus service to and from camp, as well as some other special treats.

What to Bring
Campers need to bring several changes of cool, comfortable clothes suitable for an August day in Texas, comfortable shoes for outdoor activities, and a swimsuit (for those interested in water activities). Students are also asked to provide their own toiletries, towels, bed linens and/or sleeping bag, and a pillow. In addition to these items you might also want to bring a hat or something to block the summer sun, sun screen, insect repellent, a flashlight, and a GREAT POSITIVE ATTITUDE!!

What "Not" to Bring

Please leave all cellular phones and paging devices at home! Emergency phones are available.

Fun Night!
At the end of each camp day, we will bring all the Duck Campers together to let loose and have fun at the planned late night activities. Movies, dances, and water park activities will keep you entertained throughout the night. Above all else, the only thing you absolutely must bring is a smile and a willingness to have some FUN!

Application and Fees
The application deadline for Duck Camp 2008 is Friday, August 1, 2008. Duck Camp 2008 registration is based upon a first come, first serve basis. Due to its increasing popularity, space is limited and you don't want to miss out on all of the fun, so we encourage you to send in your application as soon as possible. In order to attend Duck Camp, you must be registered for the Fall 2008 Semester before the camp begins. So you must attend one of the Summer Orientation sessions to attend Duck Camp. For more information on Summer Orientation, please call the Office of Student Activities at 254/968-9490.

Students With Disabilities
For assistance, please call the Duck Camp office at 254-968-9789 by August 1, 2008.
