Each day, campers attend several activities with their units, groups composed of campers around the same age. We split campers into age brackets so that programming can be best tailored for them. Rotations in the past have included Sports, Soccer & Dance, Arts & Crafts, Gaga Ball & Games, Drama, and Swim/Water. At Kesem, we practice challenge by choice, where we encourage campers to branch out but meet them where they are at. There are always alternatives to the main activity for those who want them.

One night during our camp session, the entire camp gathers to watch a movie together, often related to the day's theme. 

Empowerment is the night we all come together to discuss why we are here at Kesem. Camp is split into smaller groups to facilitate the experience. Campers and counselors can choose to share how cancer has affected their lives, or they can listen to others' stories. Afterward, we remind ourselves that we have this wonderful community to support us through all of our challenges. The night culminates in a lighthearted activity, such as cookie decorating.

Our oldest campers run the show, making it fun for our individual, group, or all-unit performances! You can expect singing, dancing, animal impressions, magic tricks, stand-up comedy, and much more.
