Scholarships for low income, at risk youth
Through fun, experiential activities such as hands-on animal care, gardening, and creek exploration, children learned about the farm-to-table connection, ecology, and respect for the earth and all living things at Sunrock Farm. Many did this with their teachers and classmates as part of a school field trip while others did this as part of a day camp. The cost was $12 per child for tours and $235 per child per week for camps, but many families could not afford the modest fee. Friends of Sunrock Farm (FSF) provided financial assistance to low-income youth so that they too could discover their connection to the natural world through a farm visit. For the 2018-2019 school year, Dater Foundation funding enabled 1,831 disadvantaged children to experience Sunrock Farm via tours and day camps.
