Camp Kesem at MIT

Kesem at MIT is an organization that supports children through and beyond a parent’s cancer. Our main event is a week-long summer camp in August for kids ages 6-18 whose parents have or had cancer. Camp is a week for our campers to have fun, but also connect with others going through similar situations, and is completely free to all campers.

Camp 2024 will be at Camp Watitoh in Becket, MA, with transportation provided from MIT’s campus. Session 1 is August 11-16, and Session 2 is August 18-23.

If you think Kesem might be a good fit for your family, our camp applications are open here. Please feel free to contact us at mit.outreach@kesem.org with any questions!
