Camp ABC and Camp Tommy at Sharpe ReservationNew Dining Hall, Office, Medical, Campsteads

For 125 years The Fresh Air Fund, in Fishkill, NY has provided underprivileged children from New York City the opportunity to learn valuable life lessons in a stunning, picturesque natural environment. 

The two oldest camps are Camp ABC and Camp Tommy.  Their reconstruction entailed the building of 32 new structures including 2 dining halls, 3 program buildings, infirmaries, and camper cabins.  Significant improvements were made to the water, electrical, and sewer infrastructure.

The reconstruction of the camps created an opportunity to develop an architectural theme based on Adirondack Camp design of the 19th century.  Shallow roof pitches, deep overhangs and the use of wood shakes, and exposed “peel pole” framing create a unified character among the many diverse structures.
