Summer Freshman Camp is an opportunity to welcome incoming freshman into our campus community. With UToledo upperclassmen serving as camp counselors, the annual camp offers a weekend of team building activities, games and fun designed to help better prepare the freshmen for their time as college students, help them make new friends and create lasting memories.

The weekend camp began with games and a visit from Rocky and Rocksy before the incoming freshmen left for Camp Storer in Jackson, Michigan.
