Welcome to the ultimate Dawg Camp experience! Dawg Camp Discovery is a high-energy, 3-day campus event packed with school spirit, exciting competitions, new friends, and unforgettable traditions.

You’ll also meet upperclassmen mentors who can guide you through your first year, help you find your people, and give you the inside scoop on all things UGA. 

If you want to start college with an instant crew of friends, epic memories, and a head start into your new life at UGA, this is the camp for you! 

Trust us, you don’t want to be the one saying, “I should have gone to Dawg Camp.”
