To remember Michael Scholz, to keep his memory alive, and to bring joy to children, a scholarship for the past 18 years under his name has allowed youth to enjoy Michaelâs Magic Camp â established to celebrate the passion for the outdoors.
It was the same passion displayed by Scholz, a Key Biscayne resident who died at age 30 in a car accident in Cuba. The Michael Scholz Memorial Charitable Fund has, for almost two decades, allowed children to enjoy the camp through scholarships. michaelscholzfund.org
The scholarships cover four weeks of summer camp, which starts July 12, at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Biscayne Nature Center. The Trust selected the center to hold the camp because Michael, as a Key Biscayne child, explored Key Biscayneâs nature and loved the water â and fishing, kayaking, swimming â which is what the nature centerâs camp is all about.
