What "Not" to Bring
Other college gear. For your Duck Camp experience we want you to show your pride for Tarleton, so we ask that you leave your UT and Tech shirts at home and come ready to bleed purple!
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 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!
