UCLA UniCamp is the official student charity of UCLA, operating as an independently funded, secular, non-profit organization linking UCLA students with the Los Angeles community. Each year, UniCamp inspires over 1,000 children from low-income families to envision brighter futures by sending them, along with over 400 UCLA student volunteer counselors and staff to its residential outdoor summer camp in the San Bernardino mountains. For over 80 years, UniCamp student volunteers have harnessed the healing power of the wilderness to improve their community by providing a unique outdoor camping experience for under served children in the community.
There are many UniCamp campers that return as they get older to help other students have the same positive experiences that that they had. Once those volunteers go on they have continued to give back to their communities by holding public offices in the California legislature, serving as a Judge, a teacher or a lawyer that helps youth in the criminal justice system.

“Preparing for Rebuilding Day April 24,2021
It’s time to start the 2021 Rebuilding Day preparations. This month we will receive the applications and will verify their information. Soon the home visits will start so we can evaluate the needs of each homeowner and the hard choices will be made to choose the final recipients. To do this we need community support in the form of home sponsors (those who donate $1500 or more) and the business community service groups and private citizens. When things are at their worst, we must put our individual needs in perspective and think of the greater needs of our neighbors and our country to insure a continued healthy mental outlook going forward. We feel no greater joy than helping someone else.
We look forward to gathering next April with community and trade volunteers, neighbors and friends to help our mountain family. Covid 19 will not stop us. If it takes 100 gallons of hand sanitizer and 1000 masks, we will be there. We cannot give up for there is nothing to take our place!”
