For many clubs, running a First Years camp is paramount to their success of the year. They offer an opportunity to meet new students and get them interested in the society's events. They're also incredibly rewarding, helping new students to meet each other, form friendships, become a part of a community, feel a little less scared or apprehensive about starting university, and have older role models to turn to for help and advice.
Understanding this value for first year students is imperative to running a camp which has a positive impact, both on the first years of your community and on your society's success that year.
In order to ensure this happens, there are lots of steps you can take and plans you can make to maximise the chances of your first year camp's success. This guide explains just some of the ways you can achieve this. Happy camping!
