TRISTIN COLE BAKER MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
Awarding One Child per Week a Free Spot in Our Annual Summer Camp
ABOUT THIS SCHOLARSHIP
Summer Camp at Chalk is eight weeks long. This scholarship seeks to honor Tristin's memory by awarding one deserving child for each of those eight weeks with the opportunity to experience the magic of summer camp, just as Tristin did. We aim to extend this opportunity not only to those who have a passion for sports, dance, and creative expression but also to those who may be facing mental struggles, hoping to bring a ray of light into their lives.
Through this scholarship, we aspire to touch the hearts of eight children this summer, fostering joy, camaraderie, and personal growth within our camp community.
