The 60th Anniversary Rocked - Thank You!
Thank you to everyone who attended the 60th Anniversary Camp Wildcat celebration, purchased gift tickets, purchased swag, made a donation, or just sent us heartfelt well wishes - we couldn't have done it without you! Your continued enthusiasm for CW and your generous support helps fuel CW today and well into the future!
Take a moment to check out a selection of photos and videos and videos from all the festivities courtesy of CW alum Wendy Shattil:
And now the big news... CW is new addition to the Special Collections at the Archives of the UA Library!
And now the big news... CW is new addition to the Special Collections at the Archives of the UA Library!
In honor of the 60th anniversary, Camp Wildcat has established a Special Collections at the Archives of the University of Arizona Library! Now, when you visit campus and the library, you can view documents, photos, and other artifacts from throughout CW's history. As the archive is brand new, we need your help to continue building it out to include as much as possible - if you have photos, videos, documents, paper plate awards, you name it - you are encouraged to share them with the archive.
The library's primary request is physical items, including physical photos preferentially, except when the photo was 'natively' digital. Those can be mailed to the Friends of Camp Wildcat PO Box at:
Friends of Camp Wildcat
PO Box 17206
Seattle, WA, 98127
Items you send will be compiled and then transferred to the Special Collection, along with items in Tucson. If you are located in Tucson and would prefer to deliver the items in person, please contact Greg Porter to coordinate an in-person delivery.
It's not too late to support CW for the 60th!

If you missed coming out the 60th Celebration dinner, or if you were there and just want to help support CW a little bit more - it's not too late! From CW:
Happy 60th Anniversary Camp Wildcat! We are so excited to celebrate this special event with you all, and with that we are hoping to fundraise and revamp some of our CW materials. Any donation and contribution helps, and we are so happy to even have the opportunity to share this experience with you. We have two categories available: 'ABBY Asks' and 'Golden Trudies'. ABBY Asks are smaller, less expensive materials we have used up over the years and need replacing; our Golden Trudies are the "big bucks". These include tents, blackstones, and other more expensive items we are in desperate need of here at CW.
We also have a cash fund for any monetary donations that will contribute to camp costs, including bus fees, campsite costs, and maybe even some s'mores ingredients!
Again, any contribution is greatly appreciated. Thank you to all our alumni, and congrats to 60 years Camp Wildcat!
We're devoted to helping Tucson's youth!

Established in 1965, Camp Wildcat is a student-run, non-profit organization at the University of Arizona that provides quality, cost-free camping trips and day activities for underserved and underfunded schools throughout the Tucson community. We offer children the opportunity to challenge personal limits, build interpersonal skills, explore creative outlets, enhance self-esteem, and view higher education and personal success as attainable goals!
Our non-profit organization is composed of over 100 University of Arizona student volunteers. Since our creation in 1965, we have done all administration, fundraising, and camp directing without any paid staff or faculty assistance. Each year, Camp Wildcat members perform over 30,000 hours of community service towards helping Tucson's youth! Click here to see a list of our Board of Directors.
