Cancer Support

Childhood development can be impacted by a parent’s illness. Know there are supports for you and your child that lead to healing and connection during this challenging time.

Camp Kesem

Kesem is a nationwide community, driven by passionate college student leaders, that supports children through and beyond their parent's cancer. Kesem's flagship program, Camp Kesem, operates free summer camps for children who have been impacted by a parent's cancer. Founded at Stanford University in 2000, Camp Kesem has since expanded to 116 chapters in 42 states across the country.

Lena Wedeen has served as  Outreach Coordinator for The University of Florida’s Camp Kesem executive board. Email us if you’re curious about what Camp Kesem can do for you or your child!
