Re: Fun Free Opportunities/resources for Breast Cancer patients

Just got a reponse from my email to a Camp Kesem director re: age eligibility I mentioned above . Here it is copied and pasted below:

"No change for next year. You don't mention which chapter you are part of,
but I can assure you that if your chapter had teen camp this summer, they
will have it next year too.

Camp Kesem was originally created for children ages 6 to 13. Over the past
12 years, as the organization has grown - and as chapters grow, and our
campers grow up - Camp Kesem has added Teen Programs for 14 to 16 year olds.


We are in our third summer of Counselor in Training Programs (17-18yrs olds)
at several chapters too. The CIT program was developed by two teen campers
who wanted a way to bridge the gap from being "camper" to becoming a
"college student leader." They are both now in college and volunteering as
student leaders to create Camp Kesem for the next generation of campers.

Great question, thanks for asking... and thanks for being part of Camp
Kesem."
