The Fresh Air Fund is a youth development organization providing transformative outdoor experiences, at no cost, for New York City children from underserved communities.
At six sleepaway camps in New York’s Mid-Hudson Valley, children have new experiences, learn new skills and gain new perspectives. Youth also participate in year-round leadership, career exploration and educational programs.
The Career Awareness Program (CAP) is designed to help New York City adolescents understand the relationship between school and work and how to make positive choices that will impact their futures.
Located in the Hudson Valley, The Fresh Air Fund’s Sharpe Reservation in Fishkill, NY, has over 2,000 acres of beautiful land with lakes, ponds, streams and hiking trails through the woods.
Surround yourself in The Fresh Air Fund experience and community by attending our events throughout the year. All proceeds benefit Fresh Air programs.
The Fresh Air Fund unlocks the limitless potential of thousands of New York City children annually through transformative summer experiences and year-round programs, but we can’t do it without your help. Your donation today will help make summer last a lifetime for thousands of New York City children.
