Weekend Highlights

Dawg Camp Classic City is all about connecting you to the community. Throughout the week we'll volunteer at several local non-profits!
One of highlights at Dawg Camp are the small groups facilitated by two amazing student counselors! These sessions are designed to help you foster connections and learn more about UGA.
Dawg Camp Classic City offers a behind the senes look at the legendary Athens music scene. Home of REM, the B-52s, Pylon, and many more, at DC Classic City you'll get to visit local venues where these music icons got their start.
From historic landmarks to indie music venues -- at Dawg Camp, we will explore the dynamic blend of culture and community that defines the Classic City!
