Camp Kesem is open to all children ages 6-16 in the Davis and Greater Sacramento area who has a parent who has or had cancer.  Camp Kesem 2010 welcomed 60 campers!

We understand that sending your child away to camp for a week is something hard for every parent, especially during traumatic times. But we do our best to keep a safe, fun, environment for the kids, and to allow them to have a week of fun, making new friends, and sharing their experiences. We are staffed by over 25 undergraduate volunteers and have a full time staff of one nurse and one therapist, as well as a camp director. Camp is completely FREE for campers as well as the counselors, thanks to the contributions from our donors and the hard work of our fundraising commitee. Please visit the fundraising section of the website to contribute to Camp Kesem.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact either one of our
Camper Care Committee Coordinators!
