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.

Camp Hawk is the perfect opportunity for you to continue making new connections while you indulge your inner camper with classic camp games—like Gaga and the famous IronHawk Competition—and s’mores!
Transitioning to college can be surprisingly hard! Camp Hawk is designed to bring together students to build meaningful connections with their peers. Student leaders will facilitate fun challenges for students to get to know each other, lead thoughtful discussions about their Lehigh experience and explore resources on campus to make the most of their Lehigh experience.
