WHY
VENTURE
CAMPS?

REASON #1

Peer-led adventure programs that combine Aggie traditions with outdoor experiences. Our trips offer students opportunities to meet each other, develop bonds and learn what it is to be a Fighting Texas Aggie!

REASON #2

Venture Camps provides a beginning space for your aggie network, making a campus (or in this case….world) of 76,000 students feel small, even in a big landscape.
