Summer camp changed my life.  The joy of summer at camp was so profoundly fulfilling it’s difficult to describe. Some of the most lovely memories are linked to living in such close proximity to nature…the sound of the rain on the cabin roof;  the very same lake water that was chilly on a hot day was mysteriously warm in the summer rain; falling asleep to the sound of bullfrogs croaking in the nearby pond, the dark Maine sky so full of millions of stars not visible in city skies… how fortunate I was to have those experiences growing up.

The Fresh Air Fund creates chances for New York inner-city kids to get some summer time in the country, either at camps or as guests in hosts’ homes.  It’s not too late to change a kids’ life this summer, and any donations made before June 30 will be matched 100%.

I’m sending in my donation right now. Will you?  More info
