Freshman Camp

The three-day retreat, known as Freshman Camp, started in 1950 and is another long-standing tradition of The University of Toledo. A social and informational orientation to college life, Freshman Camp helps incoming UT students make the transition from high school to college. Thirty to forty University of Toledo upperclassmen are specially trained to plan and implement Freshman Camp.  Freshman Camp is sponsored by the University YMCA. Two retreat weekends are planned for August, prior to the beginning of fall semester, and are available to all incoming freshman. This fun-filled event is a wonderful opportunity for incoming students to meet new people and build friendships that will impact the rest of their collegiate career.
