While many call Camp Kesem the best week of the year and love our other Kesem programs, we know kids and families facing a parent’s cancer sometimes need help on days when there isn’t a Kesem event on the calendar. That’s why we have Kesem By Your Side.
‍
Kesem By Your Side provides customized, personal support for children through the many challenges associated with a parent or guardian’s cancer journey including difficult news, recurrence, loss, birthdays, and anniversaries. This opt-in support is developed on a case-by-case basis in a collaborative partnership between parents/guardians and local chapters.
Read more about our services below , or check out our FAQs for common questions about Kesem's programs.

To opt-in to Kesem By Your Side, contact your local chapter. Your chapter will discuss what’s possible, from requesting a care package be mailed to your child, for a counselor attending a memorial service or similar event, among other options.
