Take a look – it just might save you from leaving something really important off your list!

Schwartz Memorial Camper Scholarship Fund

Share the joy of artistic expression with a child and you paint them a world bright with possibilities.

Your contribution to The Schwartz Family Camper Scholarship Art Fund helps children who would not otherwise have the opportunity to enjoy a camp experience centered on the arts.

Children benefiting from The Schwartz Family Camper Scholarship Fund will get to attend the Appel Farm Summer Arts Camp for a 4-week session.

Sylvia and Solomon Schwartz and Siri Schwartz Mills-Beierlein loved art and found great happiness in sharing that passion with younger generations. The Schwartz Memorial Camper Scholarship Fund, managed by the American Camp Association, was created to honor their memory and to continue to inspire art appreciation in young people. You can be a part of that legacy and give a child a camp experience that enriches his or her life and lets creativity thrive.

“Our family is comforted by knowing that the Schwartzes continue to give to children and to live on in the continuation of their passion. We cannot thank you enough for joining us in honoring them, and in becoming a benefactor of their good work.”
       -- the Coleman Family
