A Message From Diana Zavala
At Unicamp, we seek to empower low-income youth from the Los Angeles area by sending more than 1,000 youths to Camp River Glen, located in the San Bernandino mountains, for a week of summer camp. Unfortunately, the cost of attending camp is often a barrier that keeps youths in my community from experiencing the outdoor summer experience. However, as a non-profit organization and UCLA'S official student charity, volunteer counselors like myself fundraise to eliminate this barrier and ensure the camping experience is accessible for these youths.
By donating, you will be subsidizing the cost for these students to attend camp and thus will be investing in the youth of our community by allowing them to experience what may be their first-ever experience of going to camp. An experience that can transform the lives of these campers who will have the opportunity to cultivate positive relationships, social and academic development, and explore multiple avenues of self-expression, thanks to the week of summer camp that you will be supporting through your donation.
