The Neel "Kermit" Memorial Fund was established by Neel's family in 2020 in his memory and to honor his commitment and dedication to UCLA UniCamp. The Fund will support the direct cost of sending campers to UCLA UniCamp each summer. The Fund will also serve to name the Neel "Kermit" Leadership Cabin at Camp River Glen.
Neel was beloved by the UniCamp family and the entire community. A caring friend, passionate Woodsey, and deeply talented student – he greeted all with a warm and welcoming smile. His kind and gentle demeanor was a source of comfort to so many. During his time at UniCamp from 2010-2014, he volunteered and rose through the ranks from counselor to Head Counselor. He also worked as part of the kitchen staff, cooking up meals for campers and volunteers. Neel was admired, he was appreciated, he was valued, he was sought after for so much but mostly, Neel was loved by everyone he came in contact with at UniCamp.
