Welcome to Camp Kesem at Syracuse University!

Camp Kesem’s goal is to provide children with parents who have or have had cancer with the opportunity to go to a week-long summer camp where they can have fun and just be kids while gaining support from peers facing similar challenges.

The camp is organized and run entirely by college students, giving them the chance to develop critical leadership skills while channeling their passions for making a difference and helping others. Over the course of their school year, they work extremely hard raising money and organizing the camp to ensure that the week is an unforgettable experience for everyone.
