What is R.O.C.K. Camp?

Designed to help students transition from high school to college, R.O.C.K Camp develops first-year students by introducing them to a diverse social network of classmates, upperclassmen, and faculty & staff members, while strengthening their bond to the University of Arkansas and the Fayetteville community through the introduction of campus culture and traditions.

R.O.C.K. Camp is lead by a team of upper-class student mentors who are dedicated to helping new students start their college careers off on the right foot, and are enthusiastic about welcoming new students to the Razorback family.

Some of the programs are open to students in either specific academic colleges or majors, while others are open to any new student. All programs will be held on the Fayetteville campus or in the surrounding communities, and each program is designed to be uniquely engaging, entertaining, energetic, and insightful
