Camp Kesem at University of Nevada, Las Vegas

Kesem is a nationwide community, led by passionate college student leaders, that supports children through and beyond their parent’s cancer.

01/24/2023

Do you know a family impacted by a parent's cancer? They don't have to go through this alone. 💙💚

's flagship program is a free, summer camp experience for kids ages 6-18 who have lost a parent to cancer, have a parent undergoing cancer treatment, or a parent that is a cancer survivor.

Camper applications for summer 2023 are now open at more than 130 local Kesem chapters nationwide, including in the Las Vegas area! At camp, campers find adventure and creativity, build trust in themselves, and create new friendships. These fun experiences help kids escape - even if for a short time - the challenges of coping with a parent’s cancer diagnosis.

Visit kesem.org for more information about now, and help us reach more families that might need Kesem from coast to coast. ✨

"Camp Kesem has been magical for our daughter and family, providing support beyond what we could have imagined and really lifting our daughter up when she needed it..." - parent

No child should have to face a parent's cancer alone, and at camp, they don't have to. Kids come together to cultivate and strengthen enduring community connections that last through and beyond their parent's cancer.

Fun, friendship, connection, and Kesem magic are right around the corner. Will you help us get there? Make a donation now:
