Apply to be a Counselor at Camp Kesem


Camp Kesem East Atlanta is pleased to announce that the 2019 summer camp counselor volunteer application is OPEN! Camp Kesem is a national non-profit that provides free summer camps for children of cancer patients. There are over 100 chapters at colleges across the country.

The East Atlanta chapter is completely student-run; they plan, fund, and run their own week of summer camp for 90 campers ages 6-18. As a camp counselor, you will regularly interact with campers and play an important role in creating a fun week of camp!



 Please consider the following important details about being a counselor:
  1. Camp Dates: July 20-26 (Must be present at Emory on July 20 for mandatory training session.)
  2. Transportation from Emory's campus to campsite provided.
  3. All counselors are required to fundraise $500 before camp starts (camp is free for campers; this is the cost of sending one camper to camp). This is not as daunting as it seems, and they will help you along the way! 
  4. There will be 3 mandatory training sessions during weekends of the school year.
If you have any questions or concerns, email eastatlanta.volunteer@campkesem.org.
