The second annual summer Cowboy Camp will be held from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. July 9 for those first-time freshmen and transfer students attending McNeese State University this fall who want “to become a part of the tradition.”

Students will take a crash course on the history and traditions of McNeese, and before they leave campus, those students will understand what it means to become a McNeese Cowboy and have fun doing it, according to Dr. Chris Thomas, assistant dean of student services at McNeese.

The day will include tours, pictures, chants, trivia and scavenger hunts, all led by McNeese student leaders from student organizations.

The camp is limited to the first 100 students and cost is $20 per student, which includes lunch, a T-shirt and the chance to win cash and prizes.
