We are proud to sponsor four events before classes begin each fall semster. You can only register for one as they overlap in time.
H-Camp
H-Camp is our traditional camp at an off-site location filled with camp games, friendships, and connections.
H-Day
H-Day is a one-day excursion to one of Florida's beautiful natural springs filled with fun memories and good memories.
Honors Potions (HP) Camp
HP-Camp is an experience unlike any other on campus. Instead of camp games, it will feature potion-making and Harry Potter-inspired fun.
One Credit to Rule them All (OCRA)
OCRA is a camp devoted to fantasy worlds. Learn about castles, culture, siege engines and more in this Lord of the Rings-inspired experience!
FAQs
- Can I register for multiple retreats?
Unfortunately, no. The calendars for H-Camp, H-Day, HP Camp and OCRA overlap.
- Can I register for either retreat if I will be in Gainesville for Marching Band or Sorority Rush?
Unfortunately, no. Band and rush are huge time commitments, and they overlap with the retreat schedules.
- When can I move in if I am attending either retreat?
Campers participating in either H-Camp, HP-Camp or OCRA can move into Hume early. Housing and Honors will be in touch with more information about early move-in for retreat participants.
- Do SHO members receive a discount?
Yes! SHO members pay a discounted price at registration for H-Camp, H-Day, HP-Camp, and OCRA. You should have received this information via email, but please follow up with Dr. Forbes (H-Camp, H-Day, and OCRA) or Dr. Law (HP-Camp) if you’ve misplaced your SHO membership discount information.
- Can I get the registration fee waived for either camp if I demonstrate financial hardship?
Because of the cost it takes to put on H-Camp and H-Day, we cannot waive fees completely. However, some campers may be eligible to receive a discounted registration price due to financial hardship, and they should contact Dr. Forbes if they believe this to be the case. HP and OCRA-Campers will not have their fee discounted beyond the discount that SHO members enjoy.
- Is there a waitlist?
There is a waitlist for all four retreat experiences. Students on the waitlist will be notified if a spot becomes available.
