NEW MAROON

New Maroon Camp is a week-long student led retreat that prepares first year students for the transition to Mississippi State University. At New Maroon Camp, students learn what it really means to be a Mississippi State Bulldog. This includes giving students the opportunity to experience and learn about MSU history & traditions (the cowbell, the Chapel of Memories, etc.), meet other incoming students, and gain insight into freshman year -- all while moving into their residence hall early!... At Mississippi State University, we pride ourselves on being a family. At New Maroon Camp, we carry on this legacy by placing campers into one of six family groups. In these family groups, students will participate in team competitions and group discussions, allowing them to develop deeper relationships with their counselors and peers before classes even begin.
