About the provider

UCLA UniCamp has served LA youth since 1928. It is an independently funded non-profit that connects UCLA with the community. Each year, it sends children from urban communities and student volunteers to its residential outdoor summer camp. It has earned a Character at Camp grant from the American Camp Association, and each Classic UniCamp session partners with a Los Angeles area nonprofit or after-school program to address a specific social initiative.

Camper registration for summer 2026 is now closed. Unless otherwise noted, each session has programs available for ages 10-17. Spots are first-come, first-served. No experience is needed to participate in activities.
