Gems Camp

What is Gems Camp?

Gems Camp is the Gemstone Honors Program's two-night, off campus orientation program designed to help incoming Gemstone students transition to the University of Maryland and the Gemstone Honors Program prior to the first day of classes. Campers participate in fun team building activities and meet new students while learning valuable information about UMD and Gemstone. Gems Camp 2024 will occur August 20- August 22, 2024.

At Gems Camp, first-year students immediately develop a diverse social network of fellow classmates, upperclassmen, and Gemstone staff. You will start college with the pride and excitement of a True Terp along with an introduction of campus culture & traditions!

Students should be on the lookout from the Department of Resident Life in mid-July regarding early move-in options.

For more information stay tuned.
