Hamline University Camp Kesem

We believe all children facing a parent's cancer deserve the chance to fully experience the joys of childhood and be their best selves. We provide free summer camps, day programs, and virtual meet-ups for youth and adolescents facing a parent’s cancer to connect with peers, process their experiences, and have fun.

At Kesem, we believe no child should have to navigate a parent’s cancer alone. Through free, fun-filled creative programs and a lasting community, we provide comfort, connection, and the support they need to heal.
