Since 1877, The Fresh Air Fund has unlocked the limitless potential of more than 1.8 million New York City children from low-income communities. Each year, thousands of children from New York City's low-income communities enjoy outdoor summer experiences through visits with volunteer host families along the East Coast and Southern Canada and at the Fund's five overnight camps in Fishkill, NY. This will be the first summer of Camp Junior at Harriman State Park in memory of Lesandro "Junior" Guzman-Feliz. Fresh Air children also participate in year-round leadership and educational programs.
