Camp Kesem at George Washington University

Camp Kesem at George Washington University provides free summer camps for children affected by a parent's cancer in the Washington DC, Virginia, and Maryland area. The program is part of a nationwide community driven by passionate college student leaders, offering innovative and fun-filled programs to support children through and beyond their parent's cancer. The camping experience fosters a lasting community and has a lasting impact on children, providing them with a peer-support network, building confidence, and strengthening their communication skills. The program is funded by generous donations from individuals, foundations, and corporate partners, and in 2015, Camp Kesem served over 5,000 children across the country.
