And that’s a wrap on another unforgettable week at Camp Kesem🏕️

We spent our final day sharing warm fuzzies, signing tie-dye shirts, celebrating our TLP graduates, handing out Paper Plate Awards, gathering for one last closing circle, and giving so many hugs. While saying goodbye is never easy, the memories, friendships, and love we shared will last far beyond this week.

Thank you to our campers, families, volunteers, and staff for making Camp Kesem 2026 so special.

Until next year, Kesem. 💚✨

Day 5! Another unforgettable day at Kesem! 💚 Today was packed with canoeing, climbing the alpine tower, creek stomping, dreaming big with vision boards, and, of course, our favorite messy games. The smiles (and the paint) say it all. 🛶🧗🎨

ATTENTION KESEM GREATER CLEVELAND!!
Kesem Greater Cleveland is seeking a Nurse/PA/Physician to join our Health & Wellness Team as a camp nurse for our free, week-long summer camp serving children whose parent or guardian has been affected by cancer. Camp will take place August 1–7 at Recreation Unlimited in Ashley, Ohio!

As a camp nurse, you’ll play a key role in ensuring the health and safety of our campers throughout the week. Primary responsibilities include administering and documenting campers’ medications, providing first aid and responding to medical concerns as they arise, and serving as an on-call medical resource throughout camp. You’ll work alongside a dedicated team (including one other nurse and two mental health professionals) to help create a safe, supportive, and fun environment for every camper.

We provide transportation (if needed), meals, lodging, and a stipend if desired. If you’re interested in making a meaningful impact in the lives of children affected by a parent’s cancer, we’d love to hear from you.
