Mission Statement
Friends of Buck's Rock, Inc., founded in June 2001, is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the educational ideals and life philosophy established by the founders of Buck's Rock Work Camp in 1942.
Friends of Buck's Rock is a separate entity from the camp, now known as Buck's Rock Performing and Creative Arts Camp, with the primary goal of establishing a Scholarship Fund.
This Fund will bring adolescents to the camp that would not otherwise have the opportunity to attend, empowering them with a sense of self-worth that will assist them in attaining their life goals.
Since 2003, Friends of Buck’s Rock has awarded more than 32 scholarships for a summer experience at Buck’s Rock Performing and Creative Arts Camp. Donations from individuals and a supportive relationship with the directors of the Camp, Mickey and Laura Morris, have made this possible.
"We hope that your eyes wil see more of what is around you, that our ears will be willing to listen to the music around you, that your minds will be open to the ideas around you and that your hearts will respond to the love around you." - Ernst Bulova, 1960
