Welcome to Javelina Camp

Javelina Camp believes in welcoming each Freshmen class to the “Javelina Family” by providing a dynamic environment that eases the transition from high school to Texas A&M University—Kingsville. 

Students who participate in Javelina Camp will learn about the spirited traditions of TAMUK, spend time in small “packs” centered on bonding and connecting with students in an interactive setting, participate in team competitions, reflect on their personal college goals, and most importantly have fun with other future students.

Javelina Camp Registration is open from May 1st - July 30! Check back soon to register!
