What is Camp Carey?

Camp Carey is a unique opportunity for incoming W. P. Carey School of Business freshmen to connect with fellow students and school faculty, staff and alumni. The weekend experience will help students develop their personal networks and make a strong connection with the W. P. Carey School as they begin an exciting and rewarding academic career.

Hosted in northern Arizona, Camp Carey is an intensive weekend retreat consisting of a variety of experiences.  Students will have an opportunity to attend seminars with the dean, work through a Team Challenge course and expand their understanding of business through the Corporate Challenge - an opportunity for students to develop a business plan.
