The Fundraising Page of Sierra Hagen

Hi everyone! My name is Sierra and most of you probably know me, but if you don't, I'm currently a first year environmental science major at UCLA, but I'm originally from a small town called Colfax in Northern California. I recently joined UCLA's Unicamp as a camp counselor/volunteer in training. I decided to join Unicamp to get involved with something on campus, but also because the organization's mission falls really close to my heart. Growing up, camping and nature was always a part of my reality, and I think it genuinely impacted who I am as a person in a big way. It made me more compassionate, adventurous, and taught me how to deal with challenges that come my way. If I hadn't had the opportunity to explore the outdoors and develop such a close relationship with the environment around me I believe that my life would have turned out entirely differently, I never would have discovered one of the things that I'm currently most passionate about and plan to dedicate my life to protecting. That's why I think Unicamp's mission, of bringing kids from LA's inner cities out to the outdoors to camp for a week is so important. It really exposes kids to something new for the first time and could significantly impact their life by helping them to form a real connection with nature. If you're viewing this, I would really appreciate donations of any amount! All of it goes towards helping camp run smoothly and making sure the campers have a great experience. Every little bit makes a difference. Thank you and have a great day! Sincerely, Sierra (or as they call me at Unicamp, Sky
