View a comprehensive calendar of Orientation AND Frog Camp Dates! It’s possible to maximize your visit to Fort Worth by attending a Frog Camp that leads into an Orientation or an Orientation that leads into Frog Camp! For example, attend Orientation Session 3 that leads into Frog Camp Challenge A.  Or attend Frog Camp All Stars A that leads into Orientation Session 7. Note, you cannot overlap Orientation or Frog Camp days due to conflicting schedules; the registration system will automatically negate options that conflict.

Only incoming students who have submitted their tuition deposit will have access to Frog Camp registration.

Late March those who have submitted their tuition deposit can login to their myTCU portal, click on the Admission Status & Checklist tile, and register for Orientation and Frog Camp! It’s one form for both programs. Students will be prompted to complete several general information forms and then will have the ability to register for a Frog Camp session.

Each camp has a limited number of spots. Once a camp is full, there will be an option for students to be added to a waitlist. We recommend waitlisted students also register for a camp that is available. This is because there is no guarantee spots will become available at the camp a student is waitlisted for. Spots can go quickly, so we recommend that students register as soon as possible.

TCU has recognized the value of this experience, and we are pleased to be able to offer the opportunity to attend Frog Camp at no cost for any of our camps located in Texas.

Travel camps (out of state) have separate fees associated with each individual camp. Students must make an initial non-refundable deposit of $500 when they select a travel camp. The remaining balance for each camp will be due approximately 2-4 weeks prior to camp.

Travel Camp Costs:

• Cost & Locations TBA in early Spring
• Incoming students with a demonstrated financial need based on Pell Grant status, completion of FAFSA, and use of a enrollment deposit waiver may be eligible for financial assistance. 

Frog Camp Cancellation & No-Show Policy

• There is a no show fee and/or late cancellation (within 10 days of a camp date) fee of $325 for our camps in Texas.
• Travel (out-of-state) camps have a no show fee and/or late cancellation (within 2 weeks of a domestic travel camp date and 4 weeks prior to international travel camp) fee reflecting the price of the respective camp.
• Should participants cancel their registration after the cancellation deadline TBA early spring, this fee will be charged to their student account. Similarly, students will receive this charge if they do not show for the camp for which they are registered.

When scheduling travel, students must plan to attend their registered camp in its entirety. Students are unable to arrive late or leave early from camp, please make travel arrangements accordingly.
TCU is not responsible for any missed or delayed personal flights. Please plan time in between returning from Frog Camp and your own personal travel accordingly.

Housing Accommodations

If you are attending a Frog Camp and will be participating in an Orientation session the next day, you have the option to remain in accommodations on campus between programs. If you are participating in an Orientation session and attending a Frog Camp the next day, the same applies. Students with either of these back-to-back occurrences are is automatically included in additional accommodations on-campus on your registration form. Our office will confirm your need once you arrive for Orientation or Frog Camp (whichever you attend first).
Unfortunately, TCU cannot provide additional housing accommodations outside of these situations. If you are arriving  prior to your session or staying additional nights after your session late, please make your own accommodation reservations off campus at a local hotel.
