Mission: Camp Kesem National's mission is supporting children through and beyond a parent's cancer. Our vision is to ensure that every child impacted by a parent's cancer is never alone. Kesem is a nationwide community, led by passionate college student leaders, that supports children through and beyond their parent's cancer. Kesem operates free summer camps for children ages 6 to 18 who have been impacted by a parent's cancer. With over 5 million children impacted by a parent's cancer, Kesem must continue expanding to meet this need. Kesem is the leading national organization dedicated to this unique population. For many children, their Kesem experience is a life-changing event-providing them a community of children with similar experiences, and a safe and welcoming environment to have fun and rediscover their childhood. (Less)
