In addition to the numerous programs and camps in the January 30 supplement, here is one more.
Camp Kesem: August 12-18. A free summer camp serving local Philadelphia children affected by their parents’ cancer. Campers are 6-16 years old and Counselors-in-Training (CITs) are 17-18 years old. Fundraising for the camp is done by University of Pennsylvania students.

This community provides the foundation for confidence building, improved communication skills, enhanced life outlook and attitude.
