This summer, local students will have the opportunity to build their talents, explore their interests, and create lasting memories thanks to camp scholarships awarded through the Greenville Area Community Foundation. These scholarships are made possible through the generosity of donors who believe in supporting the growth and development of local youth. This year’s recipients are attending Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, Camp Newaygo, Gerber Scout Reservation Camp, MASTA Strings Camp, and the Greenville Football Team Camp.

“We are grateful to the donors who have established scholarship funds for camp opportunities,” said Kristen Kohn, Senior Director of Philanthropic Impact. “The experiences students gain at camp extend beyond the summer. They return home with new skills, greater confidence, and broader perspectives that enrich our community.”
