10 Pictures That Capture The True Meaning Of Kesem Magic

While no picture can truly capture the emotions and excitement of a moment, some of these photos really come close. Hundreds of pictures are taken each week at camp, but the 10 below are some of those that captured the most meaningful and memorable moments from CKKU 2018.

1. Pre-meal circle

Camp Kesem KU

With camp songs to be sung, announcements to be made, and friends to greet, pre-meal circles are a fun time to come together as a whole camp before heading in to eat!

2. Camp songs

Camp Kesem KU

Seeing a group of nearly 100 people jumping around and singing about sharks, Pepe, "Getting Loose," and burritos is quite a site to see, but the next best thing so being there, is capturing the moment in a picture.

3. CKKU staff

Camp Kesem KU

The energy contained in the group of Kesem Counselors is simply indescribable. Just moments before campers arrive, counselors prepare for a truly life changing week.

4. Hungry hungry hippos

Camp Kesem KU

Because a real live version is clearly better than a board game!

5. Cancer sucks

Camp Kesem KU

There are simply no better words, "Cancer Sucks." While we cannot take the pain away, camp gives kids the chance to have a week away to relax, have fun, be a kid, and feel the support of Kesem Family.

6. Dance party

After an emotional day, there is no better way to lift your spirits than with a dance party!

7. Messy Olympics

Camp Kesem KU

A popular favorite among campers, this is a time to just let loose and be a kid. Nothing says "childhood" like paint, shaving cream, and of course, GLITTER!

8. Closing circle

Camp Kesem KU

Perhaps one of the most meaningful times at Camp is the moments just before we all head off to bedtime. A time to reflect on the day and come together as one camp.

9. Final goodbyes

Camp Kesem KU

A picture simply cannot capture the emotions held with these goodbyes that really aren't "goodbyes" but rather a "see you later."

10. Just walk beside me

Camp Kesem KU

The one picture that really says it all: Don't walk in front of me I may not follow, don't walk behind me I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
