The camp, held in Trinity Pines in Trinity, Texas, welcomes transfer students and gives them an opportunity to have fun, build friendships and learn about life at Texas A&M. It is led by Texas A&M students who are passionate about making the transition process successful for each new Aggie.

Our counselors, crew members and staff have personal experience with transferring to a new campus. This way, they can offer crucial advice about classes and fun things to do in Bryan-College Station. They can also answer any other questions a new student might have about being an Aggie.
