The people in the organization are so authentic and encouraging. It is one of the reasons I call MSU home!

Itโ€™s why I love this organization so much!โ€

โ€œNew Maroon Camp is family. Every single person regardless of if you we are a camper or on staff, makes NMC what it is. Through this organization, I have witnessed firsthand how small acts of support and encouragement can create ripples of change in the lives of others. Being able to witness that change firsthand is something I will forever be grateful for! Coming into college I knew I wanted to be involved and find my people. NMC gave me exponentially more than I could have ever asked for. I can never fully articulate everything that camp means to me, but I keep coming back because of the love that existed from every facet of this organization. I am beyond ecstatic to give back to something that is such a huge piece of my heart!โ€

Our Story

The Mississippi State University New Maroon Camp is a week long student-led retreat that prepares first year freshman and transfer 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 yearโ€™s New Maroon Camp session will take place August 11-17, 2019.

Students will learn MSU history and traditions, meet other new students, discover opportunities to get involved, and learn about the MSU campus. The entire retreat takes place on MSUโ€™s campus in Starkville, MS, and all students attending will be able to move into their dorm rooms a week early in order to have a place to stay throughout camp.

Because New Maroon Camp has become very large, accommodating around 1,000 students last year in 2018, space is limited. Registration will open April 3, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. so get excited to sign up!

We hope that you take advantage of this great opportunity to learn about MSU and get connected immediately! If you have any questions, reach out to us at [email protected], or check out our website at newmaroon.msstate.edu.
