About Camp
Activities during camp are designed to develop leadership and communication skills, promote teamwork and problem solving, instill confidence and trust, and let youth know they do not have to face difficult situations on their own.
Transportation to and from the free camp program is provided.
While at camp the students stay in the college dorms and are placed in small teams under the guidance of trained youth counselors and supervised by adult staff and volunteers.
Since its inception in 2007 through 2012, Camp UNITE has hosted 1,132 youth from 29 counties.
One of the most valuable components of camp is the peer mentorship and positive role models provided by high school and college students who serve as camp counselors. In 2012 UNITE utilized the leadership of more than 100 youth and adult volunteers.
