On June 30, 2022, the Knoxville Downtown Kiwanis celebrated 100 years of providing summer camp to thousands of inner city children with a hot dog roast.
The camp on Prosser Road has been a breath of fresh air for these children to enjoy swimming, outdoor games, basketball, arts and crafts, a challenge course, hot dog roasts and other typical camp activities.
The Fresh Air Camp is a free overnight camp experience for children who may not be able to afford to attend camp or may have a disability that would limit their camp experience. Some 140 children ages 7-12 continue to benefit from the Fresh Air Camp.
