They will grow toward ecological literacy if the soil they are nurtured in is rich with experience, love and good examples..” – Alan Dyer, "A Sense of Adventure" Mission StatementFor over 75 years, UniCamp student volunteers have harnessed the healing power of the wilderness to improve their community by providing a unique outdoor camping expereince for at-risk children from underserved neighborhoods.
