Dawg Camp is where the Bulldog journey begins.
This extended orientation experience connects incoming students with one another, campus leaders and with the broader UGA community before classes even begin. Through small-group discussions, team-building and guided reflection, Dawg Camp builds confidence, community and a strong foundation for student success.

But for some students, the cost of attending can be a challenge.

We’re raising funds to provide five Dawg Camp fee waivers for incoming students with financial need. Your gift — no matter the size — can help ensure that every new Bulldog has the opportunity to feel supported, welcomed and ready to take on their UGA experience.

With your help, we can open the door to Dawg Camp for students who might not otherwise be able to attend.

Let’s give more Bulldogs the strong start they deserve.

“I cannot say enough good things about Dawg Camp and all it has given me. As an incoming first-year who knew basically no one, I made some of my best friends when I went to Adventure (shoutout special programs!), and I moved into UGA with so much excitement to see my friends again and confidence that this was where I was meant to be.”
