Overview

Fresh Air Camps are the six sleepaway camps operated by The Fresh Air Fund for children from New York City's underserved communities. Campers join swimming, outdoor adventure, arts, sports and science activities, with programs adapted to different ages and interests. Five camps sit on Sharpe Reservation in Fishkill, New York, while Camp Junior operates in Harriman State Park. The camps connect with school-year mentoring, leadership and career-awareness programs that help young people explore educational and work pathways. Experiences are free for participating children and are supported by donations and fundraising through the independent nonprofit operator.
