A&M TO ALTER FRESHMAN SUMMER CAMP PLANS

  

Officials at Texas A&M say they will not be holding the traditional summer camps that welcome incoming freshmen.

Authorities are looking into options for the traditional FISH camp, which last year involved 6,500 students and more than 1,100 counselors.

A press release says the Department of Student Activities and campus administrators, are in the process of revising their summer camp plans.

The release goes on to say the camps will not occur as originally planned including: Fish Camp, originally scheduled to hold seven sessions July 25-Aug. 15 at Lakeview in Palestine; T-Camp, two sessions Aug. 3-9 at Trinity Pines Conference Center in Trinity, TX; and Venture Camp: Base Camp July 13-17 in Texas Hill Country.

Camp organizers are currently working with university officials to explore a variety of options, including holding camps on the Texas A&M campus later in the summer.
