Honors College Owl Camps are a time for our Fall 2025 incoming students to participate in activities like: 

  • Get to know your Honors College Mentor
  • Check out Honors Hall (and your room, if possible)
  • Play fun games
  • Explore campus
  • Connect with your fellow incoming Honors students

Location: Honors Courtyard & Lobby

Date(s): June 12th, July 14th, and August 1st.

Time: 9:00 am – 12:00 pm

If you are a student who has been accepted into the Honors College for the Fall 2025 semester a form will be sent to you in the Spring for you to let us know if you can come or not, as well as provide “get to know me” information to allow us to pair you with the BEST Honors Mentor possible. If the dates have passed for Owl Camp, please fill out the form, as we will still pair you with a mentor!

Parking permits will be provided to you to place on your dash for camp to avoid receiving a parking ticket. If you have questions regarding Owl Camp, please contact our office: honors@tarleton.edu or 254-968-1926
