Camp Kesem South Alabama
March 2016 - Hey, Hey, Hey! Listen up, listen up!
Countdown to Camp
Camp this year will be held on June 5-10 at Camp Cosby in Alpine, Alabama. From the messy olympics to canoeing, summer 2016 with Camp Kesem is going to be a blast!
Camper applications are open! We had such an amazing time at camp last summer, and we can't wait to see the new and returning campers! You can register your camper at the link below.
Flashback to last year's camp!
Camp Kesem USA a year ago
One of our counselors said this about camp last year, “Words cannot express how amazing our first week of camp was! Seeing all the kids and parents appreciation proved that! Seeing these kids open up, come out of their shells & comfort zones, making friends, and hearing so many references to "next year" is truly inspiring. This is definitely the highlight of my summer! Who knew just a week could mean so much to some awesome kids that we never knew, but that means so much to us now!”
Also, when asked what everyone was looking forward to on Facebook, a camper responded, “definitely just being able to see everyone again.”
From all of the parents and campers' feedback, as well as the affect that it had on each and every one of us, we appreciate you all for coming and being so excited about this year!

One day, my boss walked up to me and said, "hey Joe, are you busy?"
I said no
She said, "push the button with your right hand" (repeat line)
