Incoming freshmen at the University of Memphis can learn the secrets to navigating college life at Frosh Camp, a four-day program set on the grounds of Camp NaCoMe in Pleasantville, Tenn. In the informal camp setting, freshmen can have fun and meet more than 200 of their future fellow students, while learning important aspects about life at the University of Memphis.

Created in 1994, Frosh Camp is organized and run totally by students. The program has grown from serving 60 freshmen to more than 400 in two sessions.

Groups of freshmen are divided into "families" for a variety of activities. Campers get to produce a video in a workshop designed to introduce freshmen to art, drama and music at the U of M. A traditionally favorite session provides secrets to parking, dorm life, leaving home and juggling time. There are also tips on show to deal with peer pressure and social issues and a chance to sign up for campus organizations and activities.

Dates for 2003 Frosh Camp are July 21-24 and Aug. 4-7.

The registration deadline is July 14.
