Members of F.R.E.S.H., a student-run nonprofit that works toward poverty relief and awareness in northeastern Connecticut, recently donated funds raised over the school year to the Connecticut Audubon Society’s summer campership fund.
“Every year F.R.E.S.H. students work diligently to provide elementary and middle school students with memorable summer experiences,” said CAS Northeast Region Director, Sarah Heminway. In its 12th year, the Connecticut Audubon Society is running three weeks of bike camp in July which will be supported by the F.R.E.S.H. initiative.
Getting kids outside and pedaling on the Airline Trail and other safe biking by-ways provides fresh air, exercise, stress relief and is a fantastic alternative to the screen time far too many kids are subjected to these days. F.R.E.S.H. president and academy senior, Sofia Murray presented the check. She is headed to Northeastern University in the fall.
Interested bike campers ages 9-13 are welcome. Bike and helmet are required.
Open weeks are June 27-July 1, July 11-15 and July 25-29. Contact the Center at Pomfret for campership availability at 860-928-4948. View our brochure at ctaudubon.org/pomfret-camp.
