About Walt Hutton
For more than 20 years, Walt Hutton was the heartbeat of FLAG Camp at Arden SDA Church. He fundraised tirelessly, spread the word wherever he went, and made absolutely sure that every child — regardless of their family’s circumstances — knew they were welcome at camp. His warmth, his kindness, and his unwavering advocacy for those in need touched more lives than we can count.
Walt believed that no child should ever miss out on the life-changing experience of FLAG Camp simply because of finances. He showed up for kids year after year, behind the scenes and in the spotlight, making camp possible for families who needed a hand. He passed away recently, but his legacy doesn’t have to end with him.
The Walt Hutton Memorial Scholarship Fund carries on exactly what Walt cared about most. Through the generous support of donors and local organizations, we are able to partner with families to help subsidize camp fees by 25%, 50%, or 75% — based on each family’s demonstrated need. Every dollar given goes straight to putting a child in a camp chair who might not have gotten there otherwise. That’s exactly what Walt would have wanted.
Whether you want to give in his honor, or your family could use a helping hand this camp season, we invite you to take the next step below.
