10 Pictures That Capture The True Meaning Of Kesem Magic

In This Article:

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

Camp Kesem KU

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
