About Camp Kesem: Volunteer Details

Camp Kesem at University of Texas at Austin was founded in 2011 and supports children affect by a parent's cancer in the Austin community by providing a week-long summer camp experience and year-round peer support. Camp Kesem at University of Texas at Austin is operated by 75 student volunteers and serves 150 campers aged 6-16, and also offers a CIT (Counselor In Training) program in which campers aged 16-17 can apply for and prepare to become a counselor. Our volunteers fundraise all year long in order to put on our camp free of charge to our campers and their families.
