For 20 Years, Camp Felix Has Changed Lives – and So Can You
For 20 years, thousands of young people have had life-changing experiences at Camp Felix, our overnight summer camp for children in our programs.
At camp, they feel a sense of independence, joy, and confidence – and enjoy experiences they may never have dreamed possible. They spend time in nature, roast marshmallows, sing camp chants, swim and kayak, make art, hike and explore, and build memories that last forever. At the same time, our trauma-informed approach creates a uniquely supportive environment that helps each child learn, grow, and thrive.
Children in the New York City foster care system often don’t have access to these opportunities, but thanks to our generous supporters, they get the quintessential American sleepaway camp experience. Over the past 20 years, 50% of campers have returned for multiple summers.
