Tent City

Each spring, sophomores pitch tents on the quad the night before Juniors Abroad selection day in anticipation of getting up early to stake their claim to their trips of choice. Tent City for Juniors Abroad trips in 2025 (formerly “Campus Campout”) is scheduled from 10am on Thursday, March 7th and will end with trip registration at 8am on Friday, March 8th.

If you have questions about the event, contact Lynn Scott at lscott@georgefox.edu.
