Camp Bronx Fund was created to help make a difference in the lives of children, their families and the community they live in. Camp Bronx Funds mission is to send low-income Bronx kids to accredited sleep-away camp for two weeks in the summer. Teamwork, loyalty, wholesome health habits, responsibility, personal respect and appreciation of nature are all a part of a childs education at sleep away camp.
