Community Building

Small groups
Our 2 middle school summer camps were wildly popular and we heard things like:
"You'll be surprised how much community can be built over the internet. Give it a try!"
"It is an amazing opportunity to meet people outside of your district."
"It was a wonderful event that combined uu values, inclusiveness, and personal growth with fun activities and crafts!"
"Even though it’s not the same as in person, it is 100% worth it. There is still that feeling of community that I miss every day. Some aspects went even better than they have in person too!"
