Camp Yale, required of all new first-year students, begins on August 17, 2025 and continues through August 26. Classes begin August 27, 2025.
Events for families are planned for August 17 and 18 and culminate in a lunch in the residential colleges. More details will be forthcoming.
Move-in times are by reservation; you will receive instructions later this summer for making yours, so please wait until you receive those instructions before you book travel arrangements so that you can give yourself enough time to arrive in time for your reservation.
You will also receive instructions for indicating your preference for one of ten special Camp Yale Programs that are part of orientation: BUILD, Camp Yale Arts, Cultural Connections (CC), FOCUS, First-Year Outdoor Orientation Trips (FOOT), Harvest, LAUNCH, Orientation for International Students (OIS), Yale Campus Recreation (YCR), and Yale Reserved.
