Your adventure awaits! Explore a different side of Temple University with the new OWLventure Program – an overnight orientation experience at the scenic Ambler Campus, which is also a 187-acre arboretum. You will build positive connections with other new Owls, develop your capacity to lead and gain perseverance for your new TU journey through participation in multiple outdoor activities.
The program includes one night of tent camping, plus a low ropes challenge course, teambuilding activities, a pool party, evening s’mores around the campfire and more!
The program costs $40 and includes all food and transportation to and from Main Campus. All camping gear (tent, sleeping pad, sleeping bag) will be provided. You may bring your own pillow, blanket, or sheet if needed.
No previous camping experience is required. Just bring along a sense of fun and look forward to making friends with other incoming students!
