Camp Kesem Summer Camp
We received this information about Camp Kesem and wanted to pass it on. Please contact them directly for more information.
Dear Cancer Support Groups,
I am writing this email on behalf of the BYU branch of Camp Kesem. Camp Kesem is a nonprofit summer camp that gives children affected by a parent's cancer the opportunity to just be kids. Campers at Camp Kesem engage in camp activities like sports, arts and crafts, and drama to give them a fun-filled week. Campers also participate in "Cabin Chats" with fellow campers and counselors, giving children the chance to share their experiences with each other. To answer a few questions you might have, here is some information from the website:
Q: What is Camp Kesem?
A: Camp Kesem is a free, week-long summer camp for children of cancer patients. Campers must be between 6-13 years old to participate. Each camper has a parent who currently has or has had cancer. At Camp Kesem BYU, our campers come from all over Utah, Colorado, and Idaho.
Q: How much does camp cost?
A: Camp Kesem is free to all campers. Along with the emotional and physical burdens that cancer can place on families, there is also a major financial strain. Thanks to the generous donations from community members, business, and other organizations camp is free to all campers.
Q: When and where does camp take place?
A: Camp will be held August 16-21, 2010 at Camp Kostopulos, which is in Immigration Canyon, by Hogal Zoo in Salt Lake City, UT. To know more about the camp site you can visit their web site at: http://www.campk.org/
We are currently searching for campers! We would love to send you information (i.e. brochures) that you can pass along to anyone you know who would benefit. Email me back if you are interested. Thanks so much!
