Scholarships for Camps (CAKE)
Each summer MoCo Arts awards scholarships to about 50 deserving students
in order that they might attend our Creative Arts at Keene (CAKE) camps
in downtown Keene. These scholarships enable children, who would otherwise
be home alone, to immerse themselves in the arts. In doing so, they join
hundreds of other kids, learning the meaning of commitment, perseverance
and teamwork. Together they have fun, they work hard to succeed and they
find fulfillment in personal creative expression. If you would like to support
a local child, please send your donation to MoCo Arts Scholarship Fund,
76 Railroad Street, Keene, NH 03431. And thanks!
