A Message From Naomi “Teddy” Higareda
UniCamp has shaped who I am in ways I never expected! I started as an Oldest Girls Counselor for the Magic Session 3, then became a CLIMB Oldest Camper Program Counselor for The Minion Session 2/was lake staff for summer ‘24, most recently I served as a Head Counselor for UniCamp Rock Session 5 while staffing again, and now I have the honor of being a Session Program Director for Session 3 UniCamp Snoopy. With every role over the years, I have watched campers grow more confident, more curious, and more themselves, and that impact became deeply personal when my little sister attended UniCamp not once, but twice. Seeing camp through her eyes made it that much more special with the impact being so close to home.
This year, I am fundraising to help ensure more campers get that same opportunity. Any donation, no matter the size, directly supports our campers and helps keep this life-changing experience accessible. Thank you for supporting me and a program that holds such a special place in my heart!
