Camp Kesem is a free week long sleep away camp for children who have or have had a parent with cancer.  Camp Kesem provides an opportunity for campers to build self-esteem and gain support from their peers facing similar challenges. The students of the University of Virginia work hard to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for the campers.  Kesem's goal is to give campers an experience they will never forget through the creation of long lasting memories and friendships.
