VENTURE CAMPS: BACKPACKING
Backpacking is an in-person, 8-day program led by trip leaders from Outdoor Adventures who will guide incoming Aggies through the beautiful Gila Wilderness in New Mexico. While exploring this beautiful terrain, students will learn about Aggie traditions, college life, and campus resources in a unique setting! Participants will participate in peer-led group discussions with current Texas A&M students about college and life at Texas A&M. No prior experience is required, but a can-do attitude is a valuable asset.

In the evening, students will gather to participate in small group activities and discussions about traditions, campus resources, and college life at Texas A&M led by current TAMU students.
