Our Make the Magic Gala is our chapter’s driving fundraiser, but raising money is not its only purpose – especially this year. Our event and Magic-Making Activities aim to shine a little light into your life and give you a taste of what we call "Kesem Magic."
Each day throughout the week leading up to our virtual event on May 9th, we will be hosting virtual activities designed to showcase the strong, loving, and supportive spirit of Camp Kesem that everyone, including YOU, can take part in! All of our activities will be centralized here, on this page. Below, you can find a day-by-day list with the date and descriptions. At the bottom of this page is an online feed where we will be uploading stories, videos, posts, and pictures that you, our campers, our volunteers, and everyone in our Kesem family share with us from the activities during this week.
We invite you to participate! If you would like to take part in any or all of our activities, please email your submissions to cuboulder.mtm@campkesem.org.
Thank you, and we cannot wait to share the Camp Magic with you!

Magic-Making Activities
Week of May 4th
Monday 5/4
Introduction
The first day in our Magic-Making Activities week will feature a video from our Make the Magic Coordinators, welcoming you to this year’s Make the Magic and sharing a little bit about what Camp Kesem and Make the Magic are all about, particularly this year. The video will posted in the blog feed section below.
Tuesday 5/5
"Keeping the Magic Alive"
These are unprecedented times that keep many of us in our homes and away from our normal lives. Part of the Kesem Magic, though, is our resilience and ability to always come together as a family, even if it has to be through a screen. We are all inspired by the uncanny strength of our campers, so we have been making the most of our time in our homes!
Submission Option: we’d love to hear what you’ve been doing to stay busy and positive at home! To participate in this activity, please email cuboulder.mtm@campkesem.org a picture and/or a description of your stay-at-home fun, as well as let us know if you’re willing to have your name posted with your activity.
Wednesday 5/6
"Camp Names"
Camp is a place unlike any other. Part of the reason it has such an impact on our campers is because at camp, they can be anyone they want to be. Everyone has their own camp name, and within the Kesem community, that’s who they are known as – their best selves.
Submission Option: if you'd like to share your camp name, we’d be honored to share it the feed below. It could be how you got it and/or a picture of your name-tag or a drawing of your name. If you don’t have a camp name, you can tell us what yours might be and why! It could be something about yourself that you’re proud of, it could relate to a funny story – anything that suits you (provided it’s appropriate). Please send all submissions to cuboulder.mtm@campkesem.org.
Thursday 5/7
"Childhood Happy-Place"
Camp gives our campers an escape and a place where they can just be kids again among others who know exactly what they’re going through. For them (and our counselors) Camp Kesem is truly their happy place.
Submission Option: we invite you to share a picture and/or a story of your childhood happy place and whether or not you’d be willing to have your name posted with your activity. Please email your submission to cuboulder.mtm@campkesem.org.
Friday 5/8
"Why We Kesem"
At Camp Kesem, people come from many different backgrounds and join Kesem for many different reasons. But many times, after just one week of camp, those reasons not only change, but become stronger.
Submission Option: we invite you to share with us “why you Kesem”. Why do you support Kesem? Why are you a counselor? Why do you feel the drop-everything-and-do-it-for-the-kids type of love for Kesem and our campers? What makes camp special for you? What would you like to share? You could even share a story of a special Kesem moment. Please email your submissions in writing and an optional picture to cuboulder.mtm@campkesem.org. Please also include whether or not you’d like your name posted with your writing.
