Welcome to Panther Camp 2024

Panther Camp is a beloved PVAMU tradition conducted prior to school starting in August to ensure that new students successfully start their college careers, understand how to navigate the University system efficiently and learn about campus traditions while making memories with their peers.

All new students are expected to participate in Panther Camp.  No registration is required, but all students will receive an invitation with details on expectations for Panther Camp after they attend their New Student Orientation session.  For any questions, please email NSO@pvamu.edu.

The P³ Mentors (Panthers Producing Productive Mentees), who are juniors or seniors, will be responsible for leading and engaging new students in the scheduled Panther Camp activities.

Specific schedules will vary based on participants’ respective building or assigned group. Activities will include the following:

Participants must prepare for very long days of activities beginning with a 5:30 a.m. wake-up in their residence halls and prepare to participate in activities into the early evenings, usually ending about 8:00 p.m.

Transfer and commuter students are encouraged to attend.  Details will be published later on how transfer and commuter students can connect with Panther Camp.

The week will culminate with the traditional building challenge wherein building residents will compete for which building shows the most intensive school spirit and knowledge learned during the week of Panther Camp.
