On Saturday, March 28th, The Fresh Air Fund will host a job fair for camp counselor candidates. The Fund’s five overnight camps serve 3,000 children from low-income communities every summer. The camping season starts at the end of June and runs until August 20th. Employment is for the entire summer only, and counselors must be available for staff orientation by mid-June.
