IN THE SUMMER, 3,500 NEW YORK CITY CHILDREN LEARN AND GROW THROUGH IMMERSIVE OUTDOOR EXPERIENCES. CAMPERS SWIM AND ROW BOATS ON THE LAKE, STARGAZE, HIKE NATURE TRAILS AND LEARN ABOUT ANIMALS AND WHERE THEIR FOOD COMES FROM AT THE CAMP FARM AND NUTRITION CENTER. CAMPERS RETURN HOME WITH MORE CONFIDENCE, NEW SKILLS AND NEW FRIENDS. DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR, CAMPERS ARE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN YEAR-ROUND LEADERSHIP AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM THROUGH TUTORING AND MENTORING PROGRAMS.

APPROXIMATELY 2,000 FRESH AIR CHILDREN VISIT RUAL, SUBURBAN AND SMALL-TOWN COMMUNITIES ALONG THE EAST COAST AND SOUTHERN CANADA, CALLED FRIENDLY TOWNS, DURING THE SUMMER. DURING THE ONE OR TWO WEEK VISITS WITH VOLUNTEER HOST FAMILIES, CHILDREN AND THEIR HOSTS FORM BONDS OF FRIENDSHIP BY SHARING PERSONAL, DAY-TO-DAY EXPERIENCES. CHILDREN TRAVEL TO A NEW PLACE, DEVELOP INDEPENDENCE, MAKE NEW FRIENDS, LEARN NEW SKILLS, AND GAIN A NEW PERSPECTIVE, ALL WHILE MAKING MEMORIES AND HAVING FUN. EVERY HOST FAMILY GOES THROUGH A RIGOROUS SCREENING PROCESS INCLUDING A HOME VISIT, INTERVIEW, REFERENCES AND A BACKGROUND CHECK. MANY FRESH AIR CHILDREN ARE RE-INVITED TO STAY WITH THE SAME HOST FAMILY YEAR AFTER YEAR AND FORM FRIENDSHIPS THAT LAST A LIFETIME. CHILDREN ON FIRST-TIME VISITS ARE SEVEN TO 13 YEARS OLD. REINVITED CHILDREN MAY CONTINUE THROUGH AGE 18 AND MAY ENJOY EXTENDED TRIPS.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2022 – Dec 31, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$3M
