Camp
Children ages 8-15 make new friends, develop leadership skills and gain self-confidence, at free overnight camps in New York’s Mid-Hudson Valley.
A day at camp is full of fun activities like learning to swim, arts & crafts, archery, learning to play guitar, exploring the outdoors and more!
My favorite part of camp is getting to hang out in the cabins with all my friends – I’ve made lots of new friends already!
Tallulah, 9for Camp
Camp is special to me because I get to see everyone care for each other. At The Fresh Air Fund, we support each other and just like they say, a summer lasts a lifetime.
