The Fresh Air Fund | Free & Enriching Programs for kids living in NYC’s underserved communities A Summer Can Change a childs life Camp Children ages 815 make new friends develop leadership skills and gain selfconfidence at free overnight camps in New Yorks MidHudson 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 Ive made lots of new friends already. Camp is special to me because I get to see everyone care for each other.
