The purpose of Camp Kesem at Mississippi State University (CK-MSU) is to provide leadership and volunteer opportunities for the students of Mississippi State Univeristy while serving the Starkville community and the state of Mississippi. Camp Kesem recognizes and embraces the often-overlooked population of children affected by a parent’s cancer. A one-week long summer camp will be organized each year for children six to eighteen years old whose parents have had or currently have cancer. No other type of child may participate in the camp. Camp Kesem will be a place where these children can experience the simple joys of childhood and relate to other children in similar situations. Student leaders of CK-MSU will organize all aspects of the camp and fundraise enough money for every child who attends the camp to do so for free.
