Tee-Off for Ta-Kum-Ta
Founded in 1984, Camp Ta-Kum-Ta was established through the
efforts of Ted and Debby Kessler to recreate the mind and body healing
experiences their son, Todd had received at a cancer camp in New York State.
At the very beginning Camp was just a great idea without a name. While in the Pediatric Oncology Unit at the hospital discussing the possibility of a camp where "kids with cancer" can just be "kids", one of the children still too young to attend exclaimed in frustration "but I want a camp to come ta!". The name was perfect, and eventually she did get her "Camp Ta-Kum-Ta". Today, she is one of the many survivors volunteering on staff!
