Camping for College

Camping with UA Wildcats can be more eye-opening than scary ghost stories. Sitting around the fire, munching S’Mores and talking about the future can put disadvantaged youth on the path to college. Through Camp Wildcat, youngsters hang with UA students, have fun and learn that a university education is attainable, even for those with physical, mental or financial disadvantages. Camp Wildcat is a non-profit organization run entirely by UA students, who raise the money, organize about 10 free camping adventures or other outings a year and pal around with challenged middle-school students, helping them realize that college can be their path to a sweeter future.
