Kids can join summer camping where 3,000 children get a break from city life, each summer. The Fresh Air camps are located on The Fund’s Sharpe Reservation in Fishkill (65 miles north of NYC). Sharpe Reservation has 2,300 acres of beautiful land with lakes, ponds, streams and hiking trails through the woods.

Or kids can stay at a host family’s home through the The Friendly Town Program. Through this program, close to 5,000 children visit volunteer host families each summer in rural and suburban communities. Children stay for two weeks or more in 300 Friendly Towns across 13 Northeastern states from Virginia to Maine and Canada.
