For patients and their families, these camps offer an even more impactful experience, providing a period of relief from the daily challenges of illness, a chance to connect with others who are facing similar struggles, and an opportunity to create lasting memories. Here, we highlight three organizations that provide these experiences to both patients and families: Camp Kesem, Camp Camp Esperanza, and Camp Quality USA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kesem.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kesem.org\/\">Camp kesem<\/a> <\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Camp Kesem is a week-long summer camp for kids ages 6-18 who are impacted by a parent\u2019s cancer.
