The registration fee is $225 and covers your lodging, meals, activities, and three camp t-shirts.

Please note, the camp fee is refundable up until June 15.

The Red Raider Camp fee is not your orientation fee. The orientation fee is separate and applied to your TTU Student eBill. The Red Raider Camp fee is paid up front.

Small Groups: Red Raider Campers are divided into five color groups (blue, green, orange, purple and yellow) and will be led by a color group counselor who is an experienced Red Raider! These color groups help provide opportunities to make friends and build a support network with the small group and Red Raider Camp Counselors. Get ready for a little friendly competition with the other groups! Though the color teams are an important part of Red Raider Camp, there is still plenty of opportunity to meet others outside your color group through large group activities, meals, and free time!

Large Group Activites: Start connecting with others at Red Raider Camp! Find out who is in your major or residence hall with fun group activities.
