Financial assistance
Public lands and outdoor learning experiences should be available to all, irrespective of the cost, and FRC aims to minimize the financial challenges that keep kids from taking important field trips.
Thanks to the generous support from our donors we have created the Fort Ross Education Fund to offer program discounts to schools that would otherwise be unable to participate. We welcome teachers of all schools to apply!
