Frog Camp is a three-to-eight-day experiential retreat program designed to transition new students into the TCU culture, ethos, and community. Faculty and staff volunteers are an important part of this process, giving their time and energy to welcome ncoming first-year and transfer students to the University. Over the last 16 years, faculty and staff from across campus have climbed on challenge courses, painted homes, line danced at Billy Bob’s, whitewater rafted, talked one-on-one with students, played, worked, and roasted marshmallows, all to help new students begin the process of succeeding at TCU.
If you are interested in serving as a faculty/staff partner for Frog Camp, or would like more information about the program, please visit www.frogcamp.tcu.edu/faculty.asp Camp placement will begin mid-April and continue through the summer.
