Venture: Base Camp 2018 is an innovative collaboration between the Extended Orientation Program (home of Fish Camp) and Outdoor Adventures. If you are looking for a fun and exciting experience as your orientation to Texas A&M and college life, then this is the place for you. As the name implies, twenty-five Aggies each session will be base-camped in the Texas Hill Country where we will enjoy a variety of outdoor adventure programs blended with plenty of time to examine yourself, learn about Aggie life and core values, and learn to work together. No prior outdoor experience is required, but a willingness to be an active participant and team player is very important.
