#BLMatCamp: Black Lives Matter Resources

The Fresh Air Fund supports Black Lives Matter at Summer Camp Day of Action. The Fresh Air Fund affirms that Black Lives Matter. The Fresh Air Fund promises to do our best to, and to continue to learn how to, be a part of the work to eliminate structural racism and white supremacy in all of the spaces of our camp and the rest of our lives.

We are deeply committed that our children know that The Fresh Air Fund believes that they matter, that their lives matter, and that The Fresh Air Fund stands in solidarity against injustice and racism. We are working to support our children and staff and are providing safe spaces for discussion and expression.
