Greetings Maverick Community!

We are excited to announce that Colt Camp 2025 is scheduled for Thursday, July 31, 2025 from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

Colt Camp is McNeil High School’s annual orientation event designed to welcome our incoming Freshmen and New-To-McNeil students to campus.

During Colt Camp, students will be divided into small groups and rotate through a series of stations to help them get familiar with our campus, staff, and student life opportunities.

These sessions include activities such as, taking ID Pictures, High School 101, Campus Tours Interior & Exterior, and a Club/Organization Fair.

Date: Thursday, July 31st, 2025
Time:
- Colts and New Mavs / Check-In: 1:15 – 1:45 PM
