2024 is the 25th Anniversary of OSU's Camp Cowboy! Help us celebrate 25 years of success & build a financial foundation for the next 25 years!

The average temperature in June, July & August in the Orange Country of Stillwater, OK is 92 degrees. This donation level will help provide water bottles, cooling towels & sunscreen to help our new OSU Cowboys protect themselves & beat the summer heat during Camp Cowboy!

In addition to learning how to facilitate the content of each Camp Cowboy session, the 100+ student volunteers who help make Camp Cowboy a positive experience for new Cowboys also participate in training to prepare them to address unexpected safety issues & to enhance their skills as peer mentors. A donation at this level provides one Camp Cowboy staff volunteer with a CPR/First-Aid/AED training experience & an opportunity to complete a nationally recognized curriculum for certified peer educators, in addition to their Camp Cowboy-specific training.

The Camp Cowboy registration fee is currently $315 per camper. This fee funds lodging/camping rates for two nights, all meals during camp & camp activity supplies for one Camp Cowboy participant.

The Camp Cowboy Leadership Team of 5 student directors attends the regional NODA conference to learn how to develop & facilitate the best extended orientation program possible for new OSU Cowboys. This donor level supports registration, lodging, transportation & meals for one Camp Cowboy Leadership Team member to attend this learning & leadership development opportunity.

New students & camp staff attending Quest Camp develop friendships & learn together as they embrace the elements, participate in outdoor activities & tent camp together at one of Oklahoma's beautiful parks. Having camp supplies to make Quest Camp a little more comfortable helps students minds focus on the purpose of camp instead of typical outdoor discomforts. A donation of this amount would provide either sleeping cots or tents large enough to hold campers' cots for use during all Camp Cowboy Quest Camps.

We believe in the value of new OSU students attending Camp Cowboy to embrace the OSU culture, learn traditions & expectations, & develop new friendships. We dream of expanding access to the Camp Cowboy experience by removing the barrier of high registration costs & increasing the number of camp sessions & session capacities. This donation amount would fund approximately 40% of the costs of hosting a single Camp Cowboy session & would contribute to removing the financial obstacles & attendee capacity restrictions that currently prevent many new OSU Cowboys from participating in Camp.
