Haas Base Camp is a retreat centered on inclusion and cohort groups provides a life-changing experience for students. It goes beyond mere outdoor activities, fostering a deeper understanding, empathy, and appreciation for diversity. Participants depart with more than just memories of exciting adventures; they also gain a broader worldview and forge lasting friendships.

Haas Base Camp (HBC) Fall 2025

On September 13, we will host first-year students in the Spieker Undergraduate Business Program, the Global Management Program and the Management, Entrepreneurship & Technology Program. In October, we will host newly admitted juniors from the Spieker Undergraduate Business Program, LSBE, and M.E.T.

HBC 2025 is an invaluable opportunity for you to make meaningful connections with your fellow cohort, cohort leaders and classmates. Thank you to Ned and Carol Spieker, our generous sponsors, who are supporting this program in providing transportation, meals, and swag for all attendees. Please join us for a sensational day in the Presidio to connect beyond business, cultivate community, and build your base the next four years!
