We provide year-round fun, educational and therapeutic opportunities for children with cancer or blood disorders.
About CAMP KEMO Programs
CAMP KEMO Programs, led by the Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Prisma Health Children’s Hospital—Midlands, supports patients with cancer and blood disorders, as well as their families. The program includes two weeklong camps; emergency financial assistance; school support to help children maintain their education despite chronic illness; parent support groups; last wishes; bereavement camp; bereavement support; and more.
CAMP KEMO Programs is fully funded through community support. Research shows that psychosocial programs like CAMP KEMO Programs improve health outcomes and quality of life for families, clinicians, and whole institutions.
