Fish Camp's impact spans across all campers involved and provides a sense of belonging and family.
The first Fish Camp (known simply as “Freshman Camp”) was held by YMCA Director Gordon Gay in 1954 when he took a group of freshmen camping at Fort Parker State Park in Mexia, Texas. Gray’s goal for this camp was to teach the freshmen more about Texas A&M University and its traditions in a place where the young men could also develop a friendship with their fellow peers. The success of the first Fish Camp led to the implementation of an annual trip occurring before classes started each Fall for freshmen to continue learning about being a part of the Aggie family. In 1957, Fish Camp changed sites and moved their camp to Lakeview Methodist Conference Center in Palestine, Texas, and has been held there each year since.
