What is Aggie Moms Camp? Our Aggies have Fish Camp, T-Camp, or Howdy Camp to aid in the transition to college life and to orient them to the traditions at Texas A&M University. Since 1994, Aggie Moms Camp has helped current Aggie moms to pass on the traditions of Texas A&M University to new Aggie Moms. It is the goal of Aggie Moms Camp to introduce new Aggie Moms to Texas A&M University and its traditions through speakers, campus tours, meals, lots of bonding, and most importantly new and old Aggie Moms being part of the Aggie Family. The camp counselors and staff are moms like you who have experience sending a child to Texas A&M and have attended Aggie Moms Camp! So please come join us because Once an Aggie Mom, Always an Aggie Mom For more info please go to: http://aggiemoms.aggienetwork.com/ aggiemomcamp PAGE 5
