Camp Hawk is Lehigh's version of summer camp for first-year students after classes have already started. At this two-day retreat, new students will engage in camp games and meaningful conversations to build connections and explore what their Lehigh experience is and what it can be. Student leaders, known as Camp Hawk Counselors, are responsible for leading activities and discussion and serve as a resource for students as they navigate their transition.

Transitioning to college can be surprisingly hard! Camp Hawk is designed to bring together students to build meaningful connections with their peers.
