Dear Family, Thank you for sending me to Beber Camp. I’m having the summer of my life. I’ve made a lot of new friends from all over the US. I don’t miss my phone at all! The activities I chose this week are awesome! Today I went waterskiing, recorded my first song, and fed the goats. I’m a little nervous and excited because tomorrow I’m doing the Zip Line, but the counselors and my friends will cheer me on! After that, I have a choice of Ultimate Frisbee, Archery, or Ceramics. Guess what? On Shabbat, I get to eat with my sister and my camp family. This week, I baked the Challah and it’s delicious. My counselors are so nice. One is from Israel and I hope I get to visit. Did you know that camp has a trip to Israel for the older campers? My counselor from England tells me to use my torch when it’s dark outside (sounds so much cooler than a flashlight). And my other 2 counselors are celebrating 10 summers at Beber. I gotta go, rest hour is over! Beber Camp rocks! Putting on my sunscreen and headed to the pool. Love, Happy Beber Camper!

Camp Kesem at UChicago is a free week-long camp and year-round community for kids affected by a parent’s cancer. We serve youth ages 6-18 who have lost a parent/guardian to cancer, have a parent/guardian undergoing cancer treatment, or whose parent/guardian is a cancer survivor.  This year, like last year, camp will be run virtually as Kesem @ Home! Applications for families launches February 23. Additionally, if deemed possible and safe, we hope to begin each Kesem at Home virtual program week with an in-person, daytime event. Kesem at Home is a program designed to allow children impacted by a parent’s cancer the opportunity to build connections and relationships, provide avenues for self-expression and reflection, and to have fun with other kids who are going through similar experiences. Kesem allows kids to be kids again. This is a remote program that brings the support of Kesem to the homes of our campers, where they will participate in interactive activities and discussions with other campers and their counselors, as well as activities they can take offline to complete by themselves or with their family. Each camper can participate in as many or as few activities as they choose.

Situated on seven hundred acres with more than two miles of lake shore, our two camps are a few miles apart and operate with a spirit of cooperation. While the people are the heart and soul of camp, our setting provides the perfect backdrop for campers learning to connect with themselves and grow lifelong friendships. Brothers and sisters flourish in single gender camps and still have a shared experience. Campers, with guidance and support from counselors, choose daily from over 25 activities. Our campers literally create their own adventure, fueled by their personal interests and passions. And, whether they are athletes or performers, adventurers or artists, each day, they elect to focus on a favorite activity or expand their horizons. Positive peer pressure happens daily. Who better to encourage your camper to rock climb or water ski than a fearless friend or a favorite counselor? At Thunderbird, we promote that sort of camaraderie and collaboration so kids are encouraged to try something new while having a support team in place. Campers never outgrow Thunderbird, as each summer brings new opportunities and challenges. Whether choosing daily activities, participating in our extensive out of camp opportunities or embarking on one of our teen wilderness expeditions, our dynamic program captivates campers from eight to sixteen.
