Review for University Camps, Los Angeles, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

This was my first year volunteering at Unicamp, and it was seriously the best week of life life! The high school students were incredible and I learned just as much from them as I hope they did from me and the rest of the UCLA student volunteers. This was a week filled with so much love, leadership, bonding, and overall growth. I saw such a positive change in each high school student I got to know over the week. Unicamp was seriously a life changing experience for me and something I can say that I hope to be involved with for many years to come.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

I saw such a positive change within the students. The high schoolers came up to me at the end of the week and said that Unicamp helped them see the best in themselves and that they want to go back to their communities and high school leadership programs.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

make the program longer. Myself as well as the high school students wished that the program was longer than the week. Which speaks volumes about what the program means to not only the volunteers but the campers as well :)

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

the interaction with incredible high school students.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

the most incredible and big hearted people I have had the opportunity to get to know!

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

touch even more hearts and lives of campers!!!

Ways to make it better...

the week of camp had been longer.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

fundraising the money to bring the campers up to camp.

One thing I'd also say is that...

thank you Unicamp, session 7 campers and counselors for giving me this amazing opportunity!!!
