Watch Your Time
Are you ready for busy weeks at Texas Tech? This exercise in time management will help prepare you for days full of school and fun.
Ring Ceremony
Take part in one of Tech's most honored traditions. You will receive a special Texas Tech class ring that symbolizes your successful completion of camp, just as your senior ring will symbolize the completion of your college career four years later.
Camp Times
This is your chance to ask your student counselors about what college life is really like. Get answers to your toughest questions in an open discussion led by the students who have experienced the highs and lows of college life.
Ropes Course
Challenge yourself on a series of team-building elements designed to enrich the individual through team success. The Ropes Course strengthens the bonds between team members and is truly one of the most uplifting experiences at camp.
Polos and Pearl Snaps
"Get down" Tech style at your first college mixer! Wear anything from wranglers and pearl snaps to khakis and polos. At RRC, we didn't invent the fun, we perfected it!
Spring for the Bling
This interactive event imitates the challenges and opportunities you will face during your first year of college. It focuses on the importance of time management and maintaining a balanced lifestyle.
Bonfire and Midnight Meltdown
Red Raider Camp is topped off with a spirit rally around a bonfire. After getting fired up about Tech, end the night hanging out with your new friends and eating s'mores around a traditional campfire.
Guest Speakers
A diverse mixture of Tech administrators, alumni, and current student leaders speak about their experiences as Red Raiders and give you advice on how to make the most of yours.
