Camp Kesem is an active community throughout the United States, driven by college students, supporting children through and beyond their parent or guardian's cancer. Camp Kesem's main focus is putting on a summer camp for kids whose parents or guardians have or have had cancer. The camp is completely free to the children and put on solely by the college students that double as counselors, programming staff, and administration staff. Since 2000, when it was founded, Camp Kesem has expanded to over 100 active chapters. This summer (2018), the University of Iowa will be hosting its second camp from June 3rd through June 9th at Camp Little Cloud in Epworth, Iowa. Our goal this year is to provide camp for 40 kids across the state of Iowa and the surrounding states!
