Kesem is a nationwide community, driven by passionate college student leaders, that supports children through and beyond a parent’s cancer. Its mission is to support these children with innovative, fun-filled programs that foster a lasting community. Kesem programs have a lasting impact on children by providing them a peer-support network that understands their unique needs, builds confidence and

strengthens their communication skills. The flagship program of Kesem, Camp Kesem, operates 131 free summer camps across the country for children ages 6 to 18 who have been impacted by a parent’s cancer. Camp Kesem at Boise State University was founded in 2013 and supports children in the Idaho community by providing a free week-long summer camp experience and year-round peer support. Camp Kesem at Boise State University is operated by 20 student volunteers and serves 50 campers ages 6-18 per year. In 2019, Kesem served more than 10,200 children coast-to-coast—all funded by generous donations from individuals, foundations, and corporate partners. Kesem is a federally registered 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.

A highlight, "Cabin Chats" are an opportunity for campers to gather at the end of each day to listen, speak, and share with trusted friends - everything from their favorite camp song to their experiences at home.

This time together gives campers further freedom to express themselves with openness and confidence in a welcoming environment and to form lasting connections with friends that understand them at a time when they need them most.

We believe all children facing a parent's cancer deserve the chance to fully experience the joys of childhood and be their best selves.

Your support helps us ensure that 25 kids get to join us at camp for Cabin Chats next summer - to make friends, form lasting connections, and find the support they need - at no cost to their families.

Kids have the opportunity to reclaim and rediscover the joys of their childhood through fun and life-changing adventures alongside friends who understand them.

This , we ask you to be in motion with us for kids impacted by a parent’s cancer; to join us in a purposeful and energetic commitment to moving forward and bringing the magic of Kesem to more kids than ever before. We can’t do it without you.
