Classic UniCamp
UCLA UniCamp is the official student charity of the University of
California, Los Angeles. UniCamp operates as an independently funded
not-for-profit organization that links the University with the
community. Each year, UniCamp inspires nearly 1,000 under-served youth
from low income families to envision brighter futures by sending them,
along with 350 student volunteers, to its week long residential outdoor
summer camp.
UniCamp's classic camping program is staffed by UCLA student volunteers
who volunteer a week of their summer to counsel and assist our campers.
We hold a 1 to 3 ratio of UCLA students to campers. Each session (week)
of camp has its own unique outcome statement developed by its volunteer
leaders.
Founded in 1934 and deemed the official charity of the students of UCLA
since 1948, UniCamp is UCLA’s longest-running tradition. UniCamp is the
nation’s largest university based camp and is one of the oldest student
organized charities in the country.
UniCamp’s student-volunteers are hand selected and go through over 100
hours of training and months of fundraising before the first day of
their week at camp. Although there is a small professional staff and a
Board of Trustees that help in the over-all operations of UniCamp, the
students are the heart, the soul and the backbone of the program.
