I still remember the conversation my mom and I had the moment I got out of the car and started packing my stuffed duffle bag down the bark chip trail. I was not ready. I thought I was ready, thought this was the best plan. But it was summer break… and I was already homesick, already way over the whole sleeping in a cabin thing… and so, so nervous about being the new kid.

Tahoe first heard about Ukandu this past year from a member of the Camp Ukandu Rainbow Connection (Mental Health Support) Team who invited a number of her doctoral students to attend Ukandu Family Camp.

Community has an undeniable power to uplift, support, and connect us in ways that go beyond individual efforts. It provides a foundation of shared understanding, where people can come together to offer encouragement, guidance, and a sense of belonging. In times of celebration or challenge, being part of a community can make all the difference — through shared goals, cultural connections, or mutual support.
