Review for University Camps, Los Angeles, CA, USA
UniCamp is, to put it simply, a week of pushing personal boundaries and limits, and opening up to the possibilities of life and friendships. I learned so much from the high school age campers I worked with; they are incredibly talented, passionate, strong, and open-minded. The main outcome our Session focused on was to "pave the path to your passion." We wanted to emphasize to these campers that anything they want to achieve is possible, but that it does take hard work various steps to get there. To my surprise, these kids were SO passionate/ambitious to start with! They honestly have more goals and dreams than I do. They were very responsive to the idea that they have to take little steps to achieve their dreams, and they inspired me to dream bigger. These kids understood that UniCamp was an opportunity for them and made it the best week I could have ever imagined. They've made me realize that one of the most important aspects of life is to the give others whatever I can, whether it be guidance, counseling, a listening ear, anything, because I have been much to blessed to do otherwise. I LOVE UNICAMP, PLEASE SUPPORT!
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
The feedback I go from campers. So many campers were in tears as they were leaving, and so many of them wished the camp could have been longer. Some of the girls left calling each other sisters and that trust after one week proves the power of UniCamp.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Make camp a few days longer, and perhaps include more weeks with high school aged students so that more of these amazing campers could experience this beautiful program.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
The interactions and relationships I had with campers.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Beautiful, kind, trustworthy, dedicated, hardworking, genuine, different, down to earth, selfless, kids at heart.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
seriously change the world. Starting with Los Angeles of course.
Ways to make it better...
...we had a way to transport more campers to go sailing off-site!
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Having to find the financial support to bring up so many campers for free.
