50th Henry Strobel Retreat
July 31
The Henry Strobel Retreat is a chance for first-year students to meet their future classmates in a stress-free, laid-back environment. Many current students, faculty, and alumni attend, so they will have a chance to meet a lot of your McGovern family.
The 2026 retreat will be held at Camp Boxwoods, a Camp Cho-Yeh camp, just over an hour north of Houston, and has a wide variety of recreation offerings, including paintball, axe throwing, basketball, rope swings, archery, and a variety of lawn games. The property also has a swimming hole where there will be opportunities to swim, kayak, play sand volleyball, or just sit and enjoy the great outdoors. In between activities, a variety of lunch options will be provided. Transportation from the UTHealth Recreation Center to Camp Cho-Yeh and back will be provided.
