Camp Kesem at Florida State University Camp Kesem is a national, non-profit, student run organization that provides a free week of summer camp as well as year round support for children whose parents or guardians have been affected by cancer. The purpose of Camp Kesem is to give children a week to allow them to just be kids again. Florida State University started their chapter in May of 2011 and support children in the North Florida Area. It has built from starting out with 30+ children and has raised to being able to support 70+ children. The week is filled with innovative, fun-filled activities and programs that allow for the children to gain the support they need while experiencing a care-free environment all at the same time. Student volunteers are responsible for raising the money to put on camp, planning the week, recruiting campers, as well as acting as counselors during the week of camp.
