Sign Up Your Child
Registration for the summer of 2012 has started!
The Fresh Air Fund provides free summer experiences for children living in the five boroughs of New York City who meet our income guidelines. Children between the ages of six and twelve are eligible for the Friendly Town program (a one- or two-week visit with one of our volunteer host families). In order to attend one of our sleep-away camps, girls must be between the ages of eight and 12, and boys must be between the ages of eight and 15.
Find an Agency
You can sign up your child for our summer programs at one of several community agencies participating in Fresh Air Fund programs. Our outreach partners look forward to meeting you and your child.
