Early last fall, The KEWF met with the Architectural/Civil Club of Delaware
Technical & Community College, Terry Campus, in Dover. Under the direction of
Dr. Lester LInk and R.C. Chandler, the club members agreed to design Kay’s
Kamp as a two year project. Their mission statement: to make Kay’s dream come
true by the following:
* Architectural exterior aesthetic ~ * Interior Settings ~ *Cost estimating
Completed and Current Projects include:
Kay’s House which is the main building that will consist of an auditorium, Kamp offices, meeting rooms, cafeteria and
sleeping quarters. This building will serve as “Kamp” until the permanent Kamp buildings are built.
The ZOO which is the medical facility for kampers during the week and consists of exam rooms, offices, medication
room, treatment room, sleeping quarters for medical staff and a large entry way with aquariums and indoor tree house.
Kamp Dining Hall is spacious with seating for 200 and includes a state of the art kitchen and access to a multi-
functional storage room in the rear with outside access for deliveries.
Caretakers House is a two bedroom living facility for the future caretakers of Kay’s Kamp.
Media Arts Building will house the arts & crafts, music and media rooms.

We would like to extend our
heartfelt thanks to the
facility and students for
their dedication and
perseverance in designing
Kay’s Kamp.
Our next big
hurdle is to
find land in
Delaware to
build a
permanent
home for
Kay’s Kamp.
There are very few choices of existing
camp sites in the State of Delaware for
summer camps that are conducive to
our needs. Due to the special
requirements for operating an oncology
camp, our goal is to ultimately acquire
land in Delaware to build the
permanent home of Kay’s Kamp. Our
ideal would consist of 30 to 50 acres of
wooded land with pond, stream or
creek for fishing, but minimal wet lands
and sewer/septic, electric and water
need to be accessible. When a
permanent site is found we would be
able to offer three weeks of camp each
summer. One week for children
suffering from cancer, one for their
siblings and a week for kids whose
parents are dealing with cancer. Each
of these groups is in desperate need of
a retreat away from the realities
surrounding them on a daily basis. For
the remainder of the summer, the camp
grounds could be leased to other
groups who wish to offer a week of
camp whether a medical camp or other
children’s groups as a means of raising
operating funds for camp. St. Andrew’s
School has been so gracious and
offered their campus to Kay’s Kamp to
use this summer and we hope to
continue to hold Kay’s Kamp there until
land can be found.
