Spring Dawg Camp
January 9-11, 2026
Dawg Camp Spring is a dynamic program built specifically for 40 spring-start transfer and first-year students that offers a unique understanding of UGA and Athens!
This program aims to provide incoming spring-start students with opportunities to connect with UGA, engage with the Athens community, learn about valuable campus resources, and, most importantly, connect with one another in meaningful ways.
Dawg Camp Spring is uniquely facilitated by two counselors who have successfully navigated transitioning to UGA. They will guide you through the weekend and provide advice, tips, and tricks for navigating your first semester at UGA!
$150
This cost includes all meals, program materials, and transportation from UGA to the program sites. Parking is an additional cost.
*Participants will be responsible for their housing for the duration of Dawg Camp Spring. They will also be responsible for their transportation to and from camp.
