Camps

Camp Kesem is a growing national movement, transforming more lives each year.  Since 2001, Camp Kesem has grown from a single camp, to 37 active chapters in 22 States. Scroll down for a complete list of our chapter locations by state. 

 

 

Our goal is to serve as many families coping with cancer as possible. We respectfully ask that you only sign your camper(s) up for one Camp Kesem session per summer.
