Camp Kesem at DePaul University operates within the philanthropic fundraising sector, supporting children whose parents are affected by cancer. Based in Chicago, Illinois, this program leverages student leadership to provide ongoing community and resources for these families, addressing the emotional and logistical challenges associated with parental cancer. The organization partners with a broader Kesem network to deliver youth-centered programs, including virtual offerings that maintain community connections when in-person gatherings are not possible. The team is small, reflecting a focused campus-based initiative rather than a large nonprofit operation. A recent development noted publically is the launch of Kesem at Home, which offers remote programming and activities to keep campers engaged despite the inability to meet in person.
