Camp Kesem is partnering with The National Color Run in order to support families who have been affected by cancer. We work to provide a free week long camp in the summer for children who have been affected by cancer.
At the check-in party, we will be greeting the runners who are participating in the race the next day and handing out the race packets to everyone! By being here and lending a hand, The Color Run will support and help make Camp Kesem's magical week in the summer happen for all the affected families.
THERE ARE TWO POSSIBLE SHIFTS FOR THIS EVENT: 11:30 am to 3:30 pm and 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm

Mission Statement
Camp Kesem recognizes and embraces the often-overlooked population of children affected by a parent’s cancer. Camp Kesem empowers college student leaders nationwide to create free, life-changing summer camps for children affected by a parent’s cancer.
Description
Since 2000, Camp Kesem has given children affected by a parent’s cancer the opportunity to just be kids, something many of them miss out on due to the hardships of illness at home. The ever-expanding Kesem community engages in camp activities like sports, arts and crafts, and drama to give campers a week of worry-free and childlike fun. Campers also participate in "Cabin Chats" with fellow campers and counselors, giving children the chance to share their experiences with each other. There are plenty of laughs and lots of emotional support, but Camp Kesem does not provide therapy. Being with others who have experienced similar pasts like losing a parent helps them find emotional support in each other, and it is the great fun that they have while there which makes Kesem a magical place for campers and counselors.
