October 29th, 2023

The Stack Fields

Camp Kesem is a nationwide non-profit that runs over 90 summer camps for weeks of action-packed fun for kids whose parents are affected by cancer. Camp is 100% FREE-OF-CHARGE for all campers, and with the money we raise through our philanthropic events, we are able to help provide and improve our local A&M chapter every year. Additionally, many servant leaders in the Century Men's Society step up every year to serve as counselors at Camp Kesem over the summer.

WATERMELON BASH

Watermelon Bash is a large carnival style event put on by the Century Men’s Society at Texas A&M University. The event takes place annually at Wolf Pen Creek during the month of October. Most activities are watermelon themed (with over 1,000 melons) and aim to create a memorable experience for participants.

 

Watermelon Bash hosts a wide assortment of activities and competitions including but not limited to a bounce house slide, water dunk tank, watermelon toss, watermelon smash, 9-square, watermelon art booths, tug-of-war over a watermelon pit, and a watermelon relay race. On top of this, all ticket purchasers will receive a meal voucher for the event’s chosen catered food service.

 

All proceeds go to the benefit of our philanthropy, Camp Kesem. More information can be found on Camp Kesem through our donations tab or at centurymens.philanthropy@gmail.com
