Historical Note In 1901, a small group of women, wishing to share the benefits of sun and ocean air
with city-bound, physically challenged children, established a very special summer
home in Southampton, New York. A small building was rented to accommodate 10 children.
The following year a more suitable residence was rented, and plans begun to identify
a permanent facility. Over 100 years have past. The dream of the founders has continued
and the number of campers, as well as services and activities, has grown. Children
whose challenges are primarily physical in nature come to the Southampton Fresh Air
Home for summer activities adapted uniquely for them.
The Southampton Fresh Air Home (SFAH) is one of the few residential camp facilities
in the eastern United States that accommodates severely as well as mildly and moderately
physically challenged children. SFAH provides an environment in which campers play,
socialize, mature and develop physically, emotionally and psychologically. With its
unique atmosphere and varied programs, SFAH encourages self-confidence and new skills
and attitudes, to enable its campers to live more rewarding lives. During their time
at SFAH, they develop a sense of community, a sense of belonging, and a sense of equality.
