Student Development Services is making plans for a full summer of Frog Camps to welcome TCU’s Class of 2016. To that end, they have extended an invitation to faculty and staff who are interested in becoming a volunteer partner for a new crop of freshman campers.

 

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 incoming first-year and transfer students to the University. Over the last 18 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 connect to the University and to each other.

 

If you are interested in serving as a faculty/staff partner for Frog Camp, or would like more information about the program, please visit https://orgsync.com/forms/show/46777. Camp placement will begin mid-April and continue through the summer.

 

You can participate in one or more camps over the course of the summer. The dates for 2012 are:
June 3-5: Challenge A
June 10-12: Casa Nueva A
June 17-19: Quest
June 29-July 1: Casa Nueva B
July 5-9: Alpine A (returning faculty/staff partners only)
July 10-14: Alpine B (returning faculty/staff partners only)
August 9-11: Challenge B
August 9-11: Casa Nueva C
August 14-16: Summit


Faculty/staff partner registration is online at https://orgsync.com/28972/forms/show/46777. Once you submit your registration you should receive a confirmation email from the OrgSync system.  While faculty and staff partners are integral to the success of the Frog Camp program, we recognize that participation goes above and beyond most job descriptions and as such is subject to the approval of supervisors.
