Camp KEMO at Camp Cole
When Cole was diagnosed with cancer, he and his big sister Kelsey got the chance to attend Camp KEMO, a camp for children who have cancer and their siblings. During a time in their lives where so much was changing, camp allowed them to just be kids. To this day, the memories Kelsey and Cole made at camp are some of her favorites. Years later, Kelsey and Margaret Deans, our Director of Development & Marketing, served as Camp KEMO counselors for over 10 years each. Mike, our Lead Counselor and Head of Morale, was a Camp KEMO camper for multiple years, then later became a counselor. Camp Cole is thrilled to host Camp KEMO this year! WLTX has more information at the link below.
