September, 2011 - Camp was awesome this summer! We had 30 campers and over 20 staff at Camp Mah-Kah-Wee in Chuluota, FL. We had a fun filled week of games, friends and Camp Kesem magic! Our camp activities included Olympics, a carnival, crafts, sports, canoeing, archery, a ropes course, campfires, cabin chats and lots more.

January 17, 2010 - Fall was a great semester with lots of new counselors on board and some exciting events. Our camper reunion was a blast at Lake Wauburg with games, canoeing and songs.
