Kenzie Tallant

Kenzie graduated from the University of South Carolina with a B.A. in Public Health in December 2024, and immediately continued her education at Columbia College, where she earned my Master’s in Healthcare Administration in December 2025. As a recent graduate, she is incredibly excited to put her education and experiences into action while making a meaningful and positive impact on everyone who steps foot onto Camp Cole’s campus.

Kenzie’s passion for Camp Cole is deeply rooted in many of her childhood experiences. Having a family who has been closely affected by cancer, she has always hoped to create the same sense of joy, connection, and support that her loved ones experienced for others facing similar challenges. Throughout elementary school, Kenzie led fundraising efforts that supported individuals experiencing serious illnesses and life challenges. In high school, she had the privilege of participating in the “Circle of Friends” program, which focused on building friendships, reducing isolation, and fostering social inclusion. During college, Kenzie was an active member of Dance Marathon, where they prioritized fundraising for Children’s Miracle Network and worked to help address gaps within our local community.

Kenzie has also been fortunate to be a part of the Camp Cole family in the past, serving as both a Camp Counselor and an Operations Intern. These experiences gave her an even greater appreciation for Camp Cole’s mission and the incredible impact it has on campers, families, volunteers, and staff.

With a strong desire to serve others and make a lasting difference in her community, Kenzie is beyond excited to officially be a part of the Camp Cole team. When she’s not spending time on Camp Cole’s beautiful campus, you can likely find her spending time with friends and family, needlepointing, or cheering on the Gamecocks!
