Recently, some of the first-year students in our college seemed not to have enough study experience from their junior high-school years. Therefore, "first-year experience at college of technology (Kosen)" is important in order to support a smooth transition from secondary education to higher education. We designed "Orientation Camp 2009" project as a part of first-year experience with our teachers' support and cooperation. Participants in the orientation camp were 89 new students in our college. 12 staffs that consist of 11 teachers and 1 nurse led them to an accommodation for living in groups in Omishima, Ehime on April 10th and 11th, 2009. We carried out the following activities: (1) orientation for new college life, (2) outdoor curry cooking, (3) practice singing national anthem and college song, (4) orienteering in a small group, (5) home room in each class. According to the post questionnaire answered by our college's first-year students, 63.7% of the students had the positive impression towards the orientation camp. 92.1% of the students felt that the camp helped them to make new friends. However, their positive impression varied with each activity. In the future, we need to design more attractive activities that will satisfy all the new students.
