Education Center Blog

We, at Fernbrook, are committed to providing urban youth with an opportunity to learn about agriculture, nutrition and our environment. We take pride as the only education center that offers an educational summer camp experience to urban, at-risk youth from inner-city Trenton and the surrounding area ~ at no cost to the children or their families. Camp is an exciting time in a young person’s life. We believe that every child should be exposed to experiential outdoor learning and that it is important to share our mission. With all of the turmoil these children live with on a daily basis, the opportunities to “just be a kid” are few and far between. Here, they get to enjoy such a simple pleasures as soil under their nails and fresh picked fruit in their bellies. We appreciate our past supporters and thank you for your consideration of contributing to our Urban Camp Scholarship Fund.
