(OKLAHOMA CITY) – Continuing in its fourth year, the Orr Family Farm is offering two field trip scholarships for their spring season. Educators around the state are invited to apply for a field trip scholarship and the opportunity to bring their class for a day of learning and fun at no cost.
Teachers and principals can apply at OrrFamilyFarm.com/field-trip-scholarships. Entries will be accepted until March 6, and winners will be announced March 10.
The winning classes will each receive free Farm admission for 50 students and five teachers for a field trip to be booked between April 2 and May 15. Classes will experience a farm to table lesson in the Discovery Barn through a hands-on learning experience and interactive activities, plus milking techniques and all about Farm equipment, past and present. They will also enjoy petting and feeding animals in the Barnyard, bouncing on the giant jumping pillows, a train ride around the Farm and much more!
“With continued budget challenges in school districts across the state, we know that hands-on learning experiences like field trips are one of the first things to be cut,” said Shanain Kemp, general manager of the Orr Family Farm. “It is important to us that we do our part in helping our community and supporting our teachers and students, and we are excited for these students to experience all the Farm has to offer.”
The Orr Family Farm hosts both spring and fall field trips each year, involving different learning concepts and complete with free teacher materials and lesson boards spread throughout the Farm. Spring season field trips are available Thursdays and Fridays April 2 through May 15.
The Orr Family Farm is an agri-tainment experience created to provide families, groups and school children a glimpse of their heritage, history and good old-fashioned fun. For more information about the Orr Family Farm visit OrrFamilyFarm.com or call (405) 799-3276.
