Hobby
Kesem is a nationwide community, driven by passionate college student leaders, that supports children through and beyond their parent’s cancer. A program of Kesem, Camp Kesem operates over 110 free summer camps in 42 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 2018, Camp Kesem served over 8,000 children coast-to-coast, all funded by generous donations from individuals, foundations, and corporate partners.
Camp Kesem at UT-Austin was founded in 2011, and since then we have grown to become one of the most successful chapters accross the country. In summer 2024, we served 260 children affected by a parent's cancer. In order to do so, we fundraised over $220,000 and empowered over 400 student members from the University of Texas to aid us in our goal to ensure that no child affected by a parent's cancer is ever alone. If you are unable to attend camp as a counselor, we also have a general body member position so that any student is able to join our organization and help raise funds to make camp happen for our kiddos!
