About Camp Kesem

Kesem is a nationwide community to benefit kids. Above all, it helps children get through their parent’s cancer. In other words, Kesem helps children whose parents receive a cancer diagnosis. A division of Kesem is a summer camp provided to children impacted by this horrible disease.

 

In fact, millions of children become impacted by a parent’s cancer each year. Camp Kesem brings these children together and allows them to form a community. Particularly because this is a life-changing event few experiences. Ultimately having other children around going through similar things can help ease a weary child. Above all, it’s a fun, welcoming, and safe place for kids to be kids.

 

Kesem aims to create a world where children impacted by cancer never have to feel alone. They make lifelong relationships that help them through difficult times. As a result, children can feel and act like children. Something that can often feel taken away from them, to begin with.

 

Here is the adorable GivingBand we did for Camp Kesem! We love this cause helping give children support when they need it most.
