Counselors & Crew Members

About Counselors & Crew Members

Every year, since 1954, Fish Camp welcomes the incoming Freshman Class to Texas A&M with a 4-day, 3-night extended orientation program at a conference center in Palestine,Texas. Each year over 1000 Counselors and Crew Members dedicate their time and energy for six months to help welcome the Freshmen Class to Texas A&M!

The primary role of a Counselor is to serve as a support system for freshmen and help them transition into the college life. They lead a group of 10-15 fish called a Discussion Group and maintain connections with them throughout their first year and beyond! Counselors also perform informative and purposeful skits for the freshmento help them better understand college life, A&M traditions, & campus services.

The primary role of a Crew Member is to work alongside Fish Camp Staff and Directors in the planning and facilitating of programs for counselors and freshmen. The responsibility of Crew Members includes helping run behind the scenes logistics and operations and help carry out the duties necessary to ensure that all freshmen have the best experience possible!

Counselors and Crew members aim to provide an unconditionally accepting environment, while upholding the reputation and integrity of Fish Camp. Both positions are very rewarding and are an opportunity to touch many lives!
