Students

If you are a JHU student, Camp Kesem is an opportunity for you to build friendships, gain leadership skills, and contribute to your local community. We are a student run organization that provides a free week-long summer camp for children who have or have had a parent with cancer. Our camp offers students the opportunity to become either student members or student counselors.

Members

As a member, you will:

Counselors

Camp Kesem JHU has a 3:1 ratio of campers to counselors. For the summer of 2013, we would like to take 18-20 counselors to camp. The counselor selection process is very important in order for camp to run smoothly. Prospective counselors are expected to attend meetings as well as take part in events and fundraisers. All counselors are carefully screened by the camp coordinators and receive extensive training.

Community Members

If you are a community member in the Maryland area and are looking for a meaningful and fulfilling way to help the community, we are looking for volunteers to help with fundraising, publicizing, and advising Camp Kesem JHU. Community involvement is highly valued, appreciated, and necessary in order to make camp possible. Please contact us at jhu@campkesem.org for more information on how you can get involved.

We have attached the following download links for each position! Please email us at jhu@campkesem.org if you are interested. All lodging expenses will be covered.
