Jumpstart your journey as a Saint and spend 3 days and 2 nights on Siena's campus for Saints Camp. You will explore Siena's campus (things we can't show on tour), the surrounding Capital Region, and start to see what your life as a Saint will really look like. Saints Camp is all about FUN — campers will go on off-campus adventures, try all of our Siena-favorite foods, live in one of our freshman residence halls, ask our upperclassmen leaders anything, get to know all of our traditions and insider Siena-isms, and so much more.
During Saints Camp you will not only connect with other members of the incoming class — you will meet an entire team of Siena students and staff to support you during your time as a Saint. You will arrive at move-in day with a team of community members that you know are there for you.
Saints Camp will teach you the in's and out's of what it means to be a Saint. You will learn all the Siena-isms (What is Saga?); the best places to eat around campus (Have you ever tried Stewart's ice cream?), and why some of our traditions are so important to us (Which contrada animal are you?).
When you imagine college, academics certainly aren’t the only thing that comes to mind. During Saints camp you will live and eat on campus, learn everything you need to know for your first day from our upperclassmen, and get to know our Saints' home-away-from-home.
“Saints Camp helped prepare me to come out of my shell. It allowed me to form early connections with peers so that when I officially got to campus, I was much less nervous and didn't feel alone."
“The connections that I made will last me through college!"
“If someone were to ask me what Saints Camp was like for me, I would tell them it was the beginning of my college career."
