Camp Kesem is a nationwide community supporting children through and beyond their parent’s cancer. Each summer camp is completely organized, planned, and fundraised for by college students – like me – at university chapters across the country. I am part of the team of student leaders who are organizing Camp Kesem Saint Louis University throughout the year to create a fun-filled week of camp. Camp Kesem is open to all children aged 6-18 affected by a parent’s cancer regardless of race, religion, economic standing, or background. The campers who attend have the unique opportunity to develop friendships with peers facing similar challenges, build confidence and gain a support network of caring, well-trained volunteer counselors…a gift that lasts far beyond their week at camp.
