A Message From Mary "Onyx" Assadi
Hi everyone! My name is Mary, but at camp I go by “Onyx”! 🩵
I’m beyond excited to be returning to UniCamp for another season—this time as a Head Counselor! UniCamp is UCLA’s student-run, nonprofit organization that provides underserved youth with the opportunity to attend a life-changing week of camp at little to no cost to their families. Through mentorship, outdoor experiences, and meaningful connections, UniCamp creates a space where campers can build confidence, feel supported, and just be kids.
As a Head Counselor, I help lead and support counselors, ensure camper safety and well-being, and work behind the scenes to make sure camp runs smoothly. This role means so much to me because I truly believe in UniCamp’s mission and the impact it has—not only on campers, but on the volunteers who serve them.
To help make camp possible, I have a fundraising goal of $550. Every donation, no matter the size, goes directly toward transportation, meals, supplies, and ensuring that camp remains accessible to all campers regardless of financial background. Your support helps create unforgettable memories and lasting mentorship for these kids.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and for supporting me and UniCamp. I’m incredibly grateful for any contribution and for helping make camp possible! 💫
