Sign Up Your Child

The Fresh Air Fund provides free vacations 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 twelve, and boys must be between the ages of eight and fifteen. 

Currently, there are only invitations available for boys and girls, ages 6 to 10 for Friendly Town visits.

Join Us at a Registration Event!

In order to make it easier for you to register your child for our programs, we will be holding several free borough-wide registration events throughout the Spring and early Summer.
