.All incoming freshmen are invited to register for Hokie Camp. Due to the success of Hokie Camp 2008, there will be three sessions offered for summer 2009: August 10-12, August 12-14, and August 17-19, 2009. The cost for Hokie Camp 2009 is $195, which covers travel from Virginia Tech to Smith Mountain Lake, food and lodging, and a Hokie Camp t-shirt.

Hokie Camp is an optional three-day orientation experience that will take place at the Smith Mountain Lake 4-H Center. It is designed to welcome new Hokies to Virginia Tech with the purpose of giving them an opportunity to have fun, make friends and learn more about life as a Virginia Tech student.

Campers will be given the opportunity to build strong, lasting bonds with their peers through small group discussions and fun, team-building activities such as the low ropes course and rock climbing wall. Faculty and staff members will be available to answer any last-minute questions and students will leave feeling confident about their next four years at Virginia Tech.
