ids with parents who are cancer patients have their lives turned upside down. The family structure and routine are disrupted by the demands of the illness and treatment. Camp Kesem will provide these children with a safe place to be kids again and have fun, a network of other

kids in the same boat with whom to share thoughts and feelings, and a community of adults to provide needed attention and to boost their self esteem. Attending camp will lessen their feelings of isolation and vulnerability, and allow them to process their anger, guilt and fear. The very special friendships begun at camp will last well beyond the week, providing needed peer support and encouragement.”

-- Dr. Michael Amylon, Pediatric Oncologist, Lucile Packard Children's Hospital and member of Camp Kesem Advisory Committee
