I am writing to you on behalf of Camp Kesem UGA to let you
know about a unique resource we offer to children whose parents have been
diagnosed with cancer. Camp Kesem UGA will offer its 7th annual camp
in summer 2018, open to 190 campers from throughout the area. Our camp is
offered free of charge, and is open to any 6-18 year old who has, or has had, a
parent or primary caregiver with cancer.
We are one of over 100 active Camp Kesem chapters throughout
the United States, and our program is staffed by about 180 student volunteers
from the University of Georgia. As a national organization, Camp Kesem has over
15 years of experience bringing top quality programs that have a significant
impact on children and families. Our camps are designed to allow children
the opportunity to find support, have fun, and feel safe, loved, and respected.
As we gear up for summer 2018, we would love to work with
you to bring Camp Kesem to families in the Greater Athens/ Atlanta area. If you
have any families in mind who would be interested in utilizing our free
resource and sending their children(s) to camp, they can apply by simply
visiting ourwebsite. There,
they can find more information about camp dates, locations, and activities.
To apply, they simply need to click the green “REGISTER A CAMPER” button
in the top right corner of the screen and fill out the online form. The
form takes about 20 minutes to complete, and must be finished in one sitting.
I’ve attached more basic information in a two-page brochure
to this email, and would also be happy to speak with you more about the program
over the telephone or in person. Simply let me know if you have any questions!
