My name is Katherine "Chips" Langseder and I am a junior at UVM as well as an outreach coordinator for Camp Kesem. Camp Kesem at the University of Vermont is a unique resource offered to children who have been impacted by a parent or guardian's cancer. Kesem is a nationwide community driven by passionate college student leaders that supports children through and beyond a parent's cancer. Camp Kesem at University of Vermont will offer its fourth annual camp in summer 2020, free of charge for all families and open to any 6-18 year olds, along with year-round programming such as Warm Welcomes, Special Deliveries, Friends and Family Days, Kesem Connections, Kesem By Your Side, and other online resources.

We are one of over 120 active Camp Kesem chapters throughout the United States, and our program is staffed by student volunteers from the University of Vermont. As a national organization, Camp Kesem has over 15 years of experience bringing top quality programs that have a significant positive impact on children and families. Our camps and programming are designed to allow kids the opportunity to find support, have fun, feel safe, loved, and respected, and just BE KIDS.

As we gear up for summer 2020, we would love to bring Camp Kesem to families throughout all of Vermont. In the past, we have recruited many families from the Burington, VT area but we would love to spread the word even further! Camper applications are now open to the public and in order to join our Kesem family for summer of 2020, we recommend getting applications in as soon as possible to secure a spot.
