Experience
"Dawg Camp is an amazing experience that has connected me with so many wonderful people from all walks of life. I have made so many friendships with both UGA students and staff members that I know I would have missed out on otherwise."

What is Dawg Camp Fusion?

With R.E.M., the B52s, and Widespread Panic all getting their start here, Athens, GA, is known for being a hub of musical talent.  Dawg Camp Fusion will involve 12 to 14 first-year students in a four-day program. Fusion is co-sponsored by the Center for Leadership & Service and the Office of Student Activities and Organizations. The program connects students with Athens' rich history and culture and tap into students' passions to promote involvement on campus in those arenas.  Students will learn about the history of Athens music and musical venues, visit the campus radio station, interact with different music groups, and even have opportunities to share their talents with others.   

Who will be at Fusion?

You will be part of a small group of 14 students which will be led by 2 counselors, who are student leaders on campus. Together, you will share in the experience of teambuilding, learning how to get involved at UGA, and develop the leadership skills within you! All of this will be done through your shared interest of music and culture.
