Hillcamp is four-day orientation held before classes in August. Planned and produced for students by students, this event is designed to help new students prepare for their college experience and give them the tools to be successful in college.
Held on the beautiful Rogers State University Claremore campus, Hillcamp is the best way to start building relationships and getting plugged in to your new life as a Hillcat.
While attending Hillcamp, you will meet fellow new Hillcats, current students, faculty and staff in a fun, success-oriented environment.
Please Note: Students living off campus will need to determine their living arrangements prior to Hillcamp. Hillcamp will provide everything else for students living off campus. For those commuters interested in temporary on-campus housing during Hillcamp (which entails a nominal fee), select that option during the online registration process.
