About Camp Unalayee
Camp Unalayee (Camp U), meaning "Place of Friends" in Cherokee, is an accredited summer camp for girls and boys ages 10 through 17. Located in Northern California in the beautiful Trinity Alps wilderness, Camp U provides a unique outdoors experience during two-week sessions where kids completely disconnect from iPods, video games and the internet and learn to connect with nature and the surrounding wilderness. A one-week family session is also offered at the end of August. For 57 years, the camp has provided kids with self-esteem, social values and a love for the environment. The camp is accredited by the American Camping Association. To find more information on Camp Unalayee, visit: www.gocampu.org.
