bulletWhat is Frog Camp?

Frog Camp is all about you finding your place at TCU; whether that place is line dancing in the Fort Worth Stockyards, on top of the tallest climbing wall in Texas, rafting down Colorado's Taylor River, or building a house with Habitat for Humanity. Each camp is unique, but at every camp you'll make friends, discuss college issues, and prepare for life at TCU.

Frog Camp Casa Nueva

"Casa Nueva" means "new home" in Spanish, and at Frog Camp Casa Nueva, you'll learn what your new home - Fort Worth - has to offer!

During one of these three-day Frog Camps, you'll stay with your new friends at a hotel conference center and explore the cultural, athletic, and historic high points of Fort Worth. As part of Frog Camp Casa Nueva, you may visit museums, the world-famous Stockyards, a play, or even a major-league baseball game! Also, Frog Groups will participate in a service project to support a community agency right in Fort Worth. Frog Camp Casa Nueva is an unforgettable introduction to your new home away from home!

Frog Camp Challenge

The fun and tradition of Frog Camp all began at Frog Camp Challenge, and now you can be a part of it all as a new Horned Frog.

During your stay at this modern off-campus facility, your Frog Group will work together on a team building challenge course. As optional camp activities, you might relax by the pool, toast marshmallows at the campfire, play sand volleyball or frisbee golf, ascend the largest climbing tower in Texas, or take a break from dancing to gaze at the stars through one of the University's most powerful telescopes. If you accept Frog Camp Challenge, you'll discover why Frog Camp and TCU are both so special!

Frog Camp Quest is similar in many ways to Frog Camp Challenge...you'll be meeting new Horned Frogs, roasting marshmallows and staying up late hanging out. During the camp, your Frog Group will also head out to work on projects like building Habitat for Humanity homes, repainting homes for senior citizens, or serving meals at a homeless shelter. Frog Camp Quest will give you some unforgettable experiences!
