uCamps is a place where you can be yourself, where everyone is accepted for who they are. No one laughs at you when you try something new and you're encouraged to express yourself and find out WHO you are.
Bullying has been an ongoing issue for many generations and has rapidly progressed and expanded along side the growth of technology. The youth can no longer simply walk away from bullys at school, they now have to deal with cyber-bullying at home in their personal space on the their computer and at their fingertips on their mobile phones.
We feel very strongly about this global issue and want to do everything we can to help YOU and anyone you know who is going through this. YOU'RE NOT ALONE. We've all been there and have made it through. Just know that it gets better.
Thanks to our very talented Film Workshop Leader, Darvius, our 2010 Winter Campers created their own "It Gets Better" video to submit the It Gets Better Organization! Pass this video along to your friends and family and keep your eye out on www.itgetsbetter.org to see our video up on their site!! Check out http://www.itgetsbetter.org/ and see others from all around the world sharing their stories!
To all uCampers and uFamilies... uCamps continues to be a safe, magical place because of YOU. Thank you for being who you are, and during the year, in between camp seasons, don't forget that we're only a click away! We're still here to support you. Contact us anytime through email or Facebook.
