Applications for 2024 programs are now open at https://kesem.my.site.com/ ! At our programs, children find adventure and creativity, build trust in themselves, and create new friendships.

Description: Camp Kesem's mission is to support children through and beyond their parentโs cancer with innovative, fun-filled programs that foster a lasting community. A program of Kesem, Camp Kesem operates over 100 free summer camps in 40 states for children ages 6 to 18 who have been impacted by a parentโs cancer. Kesem programs have a lasting impact on children by providing them a peer-support network that understands their unique needs, builds confidence and strengthens their communication skills. In 2018, Camp Kesem served over 8,900 children coast-to-coast - all funded by generous donations from individuals, foundations, and corporate partners.
Camp Kesem at UC Riverside was founded in 2020 and supports children in the Inland Empire community by providing a free week-long summer camp experience and year-round peer support. Camp Kesem at UC Riverside is operated by 25 student volunteers and serves 20 campers ages 6-18 per year.
