A child's friend through and beyond a parent's cancer
At Kesem at Yale University, we believe all children facing a parent's cancer deserve the chance to fully experience the joys of childhood and be their best selves. Through our programs, campers find the fun, friendship, and connection that they need to navigate this challenging journey -
Through your generosity, Kesem Yale serves over 150 children in CT and throughout the northeastern US. From $20 s'mores to a $500 entire camp experience, you can make a lasting impact in a camper's life
