Sea Aggies Learning Traditions
Aggies Loud
and Traditions Proud
In the fall of 1994, a group of 30 TAMUG students took 90 new Aggies to a camp in Trinity, TX. Their goals were to ease the tough transition into college, but more importantly to teach them what it means to be an Aggie. Neither group knew what to expect from the 2 days in the woods, but the results speak for themselves. Many lifetime friendships and strong Aggie traditions have since found a place here at TAMUG. S.A.L.T Camp is a student organization FOR students, run entirely BY students who are devoted to helping ease the transition to a new college.
Who is eligible for SALT Camp?
SALT Camp is open to all newly accepted students entering TAMUG
in the fall semester. Fill out the
registration form and waiver, and mail it
along with your registration fee to the address at the bottom of this page.
What goes on at SALT Camp?
At S.A.L.T. Camp you'll learn from present students and University faculty/staff what TAMUG is all about. Students are introduced to their new "Aggie family" and get a chance to learn and participate in Aggie traditions. S.A.L.T. Camp is also about having fun and meeting new people. Don't be surprised if the friends you make at S.A.L.T Camp last you a lifetime!
When is SALT Camp?
SALT Camp is held the weekend before classes begin in the fall semester. This year's dates are:
Check In: Friday, August 22
Return: Sunday, August 24
Where is SALT Camp held?
SALT Camp is held at Camp Cho-Yeh, in Livingston, Texas. Students and staff are transported there from TAMUG via charter buses.
How much does it cost?
The camp fee for 2008 is $150. The fee covers the cost of transportation, meals, lodging, as well as a camp t-shirt! If you need financial aid, we have a limited number of grants that we give to those with most need. See our grant application.
What should I bring?
Camp Cho-Yeh is not a resort. There will be bugs, dirt, and trees. It will also be HOT. However, the cabins and meeting halls are equipped with A/C and running water. Bring casual clothes for two days, a sleeping bag/ bed linens, toiletries (aka Deodorant), and a swimsuit. You also might want to bring rain gear just in case. (It has only rained one year in our fourteen year history.) You will need LUAU attire for the Island Party on Saturday night. Sorry, no personal automobiles allowed.
