Wildcat Wishes Program (November - December)ย
Wildcat Wishes Program (November - December)ย
What is the Wildcat Wishes Program?
Established in 2026, the Wildcat Wishes Program is an annual community engagement initiative taking place from November to December. It is a similar concept to the Salvation Army's Christmas Angle Tree, whereas Camp Wildcat randomly selects one elementry school class within the Tucson Unified School District. The students in the class writes a letter to Santa. Camp Wildcat then trys to make one christmas wish come true for each of these students. As with any Camp Wildcat function, this program is completed funded by donations from our local community members and alumni.ย

Announced at 60th Anniversary Celebration in 2025, 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. We need your help to continue building it out! If you have photos, videos, documents, paper plate awards, you name it - please share them with the archive.
The library's primary request is physical items, including physical photos preferentially, except when the photo was 'natively' digital. These items will be compiled and then transferred to the Special Collection. Please contact Greg Porter to coordinate the sharing of your items with the Archives.

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.

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!
