This year will be my second working with kids at Camp Kesem. On the outside, it looks like any other summer camp. Working with the kids tells a different story. To apply to the camp, the kids have to have a shared experience: a parent with cancer. Often in difficult situations, it is easy to identify the people who need help: the person in danger or poor health. What is less observed are the effects on the kids and people close to the person.
I love working with the kids at Camp Kesem. They are wise beyond their years and are a joy to work with, even if they don't always want to sleep. It's amazing being able to take them to a different world for a week, jammed with fun, new names, and opportunities to connect with other kids who truly know what they're going through.
This year I'll be helping plan Space Day and PJ Night, so it sound like another awesome camp week is in the works =)
