Club Description

Camp Kesem Virginia is a week-long sleep away camp for children whose parents have or have had cancer. It is free for the campers served and is completely organized and operated by students at the University of Virginia. The goal of Camp Kesem is to give campers a week of fun and a chance to just be kids again. With a 2:1 camper-to-counselor ratio Camp Kesem provides extra attention and support for each camper. The campers also find support from just being with fellow campers, as they learn that they are not alone in their situation.
