Hands-on healing

The Fresno State Camp Kesem chapter began four years ago to serve the Central Valley; it is one of 105 Kesem chapters in the nation, driven by college students.

The summer camp is for children whose parents have been diagnosed with cancer. It's more than a week-long camp filled with fun activities and catchy camp songs. Student volunteers spend the year fundraising, hosting reunions and conducting monthly planning meetings. They're learning about the operations behind a project of this magnitude, developing their communication skills, business savvy and leadership potential.

The camp is entirely free for children ages 6 to 16, which means students must raise over $500 for each camper. Last year, the camp hosted 45 children.
