2018 Summer Camps and Programs at Penn: Update

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. 

A Make the Magic Silent Auction to benefit Camp Kesem will take place Saturday, March 24, 6 p.m., at The Inn at Penn. All proceeds will go toward the week-long summer camp and year-round support for these children. To buy tickets, visit https://donate.kesem.org/events/-/e157847

Camp Kesem is a nationwide community, driven by passionate college student leaders that supports children through and beyond their parents’ cancer. Serving children ages 6 to 18, their campers experience a warm and loving environment with other children who have similar life experiences. This community provides the foundation for confidence building, improved communication skills, enhanced life outlook and attitude.
