TO THE EDITOR:
This week you have the opportunity to change your life and the lives of countless children. You have the chance to apply to be a Camp Kesem counselor.
Camp Kesem is a free one-week camp for children whose parents have or had cancer and is run entirely by Duke University and UNC students. It’s also the best thing that I’ve done with my college career.
Last summer 117 campers and 60 counselors spent the week having fun playing messy games, going on dinosaur egg hunts and doing all the other things every kid should get to experience at camp, no matter what’s going on at home.
As one camper described it, “Camp Kesem is more than just a camp … it’s a time to laugh, smile, cry and share each other’s deepest fears. When I think of Camp Kesem, I couldn’t describe it better than a place of true joy and love and friendships to remember forever.”
Camp Kesem is tabling in the Pit today. You can stop by and ask previous counselors about their experience and get more information.
Applications are due Monday at 6 p.m. For more information and to access the application, visit our website at www.campkesem.org/northcarolina or follow us on Twitter at @campkesemnc.
