Kesem is a 501c3 non-profit organization, driven by college students, that supports children through and beyond a parent's cancer. We provide a free, week-long summer camp where kids can just be kids and connect with peers who understand what they are going through. But our support doesn't end there - we also provide year-round programming and events to help these families stay connected and supported.

Our local chapter at UC San Diego has been operating since 2004, and has expanded from serving 15 campers to 170+ campers for this upcoming year!
