What in the world is Camp War Eagle??

Incoming freshmen take part in Camp War Eagle activities on June 5, 2025, as part of Auburn University’s orientation for new students.

Camp War Eagle (CWE) is Auburn’s two-day summer orientation program for new freshmen! At CWE, incoming freshmen meet their CWE Orientation Counselor and other incoming freshman students, learn more about campus resources to help them be successful at Auburn, and register for fall classes with their academic advisor. This past summer, over 6,000 incoming freshmen attended CWE.

Our current students also have the opportunity to be a Camp War Eagle counselor for the summer! One of our CWE counselors, Lydia East, said this about her experience:

“Being a part of this team and having an impact on thousands of incoming students was truly the greatest experience. Watching these students embrace Auburn as their new home was incredibly rewarding and brought so much joy to each day! I am so thankful to have been a small part of their Auburn journey. War Eagle”

Admitted students can begin to register for their CWE session in March. There is not an advantage to attending an earlier session, and each session holds a certain number of spots in core classes for registration.
