Mission Statement
A child's friend through and beyond a parent's cancer.
Description
Camp Kesem is a nationwide community, driven by over 4,000 passionate college student leaders, that supports children through and beyond their parent’s cancer.
A program of Kesem, Camp Kesem operates over 105 free summer camps in 40 states for children ages 6 to 18 who have been impacted by a parent’s cancer.
This camping experience - as well as Kesem’s year-round support services - have a lasting impact on children by providing them a peer-support network that understands their unique needs, builds confidence and strengthens their communication skills.
In 2017, Camp Kesem served over 7,000 children coast-to-coast, all funded by generous donations from individuals, foundations, and corporate partners.
