Oredigger Camp
Get Off to a Great Start!
The start of your first year of college can be daunting- it’s a new environment full of new experiences, expectations, people, and for most, a new bed. Get off to a great start by making friends and building community at Oredigger Camp!
As part of Helluva Welcome, new first-year and transfer students will get to spend 2 1/2 days deep in the Rocky Mountains having fun, making friends, and learning what it means to be an Oredigger! Encouraging vertical connections between current and incoming Mines students is at the heart of Oredigger Camp’s design. Upper-class student Camp Counselors lead nearly every activity at camp, and President Johnson gives some opening remarks and then steps back to join students for meals, impromptu conversations, and an occasional pickup game!
Learn What to Expect
Oredigger Camp takes place at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, Colorado! Students are transported up to the mountains for their camp session and stay in the lodge buildings on site.
