On any given night 780 children rest their heads in one of HFH‘s family shelters in the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. Since 1989 HFH Summer Camps have welcomed nearly 19,000 children from NYC who are experiencing homelessness to enjoy a summer camp adventure at Camp Lanowa and Camp Wakonda. Kids aged 7 to 12 get to explore nature, learn to swim in the lake, and cherish all the unforgettable moments that come with the sleepaway camp experience at Camp Lanowa. Participants of HFH’s Afterschool & Recreation day camp programs will have the opportunity to embark on field trips to Camp Wakonda throughout the summer; “Family Days” will also be offered to select HFH family residences.
