Tom Naro SFAH camp with camper

David Billingham, Camp Director 

David Billingham has been a part of the Southampton Fresh Air Home community since 1994, beginning as a counselor before becoming Assistant Director and, ultimately, Camp Director in 2000. For David, SFAH is far more than a workplace — it is home. He met his wife, Kara, at camp when they were both counselors, and together they have helped shape the Home’s warm and inclusive atmosphere.

During the summer, David, Kara, and their children live on campus alongside the campers and staff, reinforcing the strong sense of family that defines the SFAH experience. This spirit of connection is reflected in the many counselors and campers who return year after year.

Thomas Naro, Executive Director 

Thomas Naro is the Home’s Executive Director. He joined the Southampton Fresh Air Home staff in 2008 to assist with the Home’s fundraising events and became Business Manager in 2009. Tom holds a BFA from New York University. Prior to joining the Fresh Air Home, he worked at The Joseph Papp Public Theater/New York Shakespeare Festival. Tom was a member of ATPAM, the Association of Theatrical Press Agents and Managers, and served on its Board of Directors for several years. He also served as chairman and treasurer of the Eastern Long Island chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, an organization dedicated to protecting oceans and beaches, where he also assisted with fundraising efforts.

Kiara Esteves, Assistant Camp Director 

Kiara s a recent graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Genetics. As Camp Coordinator, she helps to facilitate the enrollment of all campers each summer. An eight year SFAH alumna, Kiara joined the staff to develop and embolden SFAH programs for older campers and alumni to gather all of the tools they need for life after an amazing summer camp. Kiara’s goal for her programs is to ensure that every camper that comes to camp gets empowerment and motivation they need to thrive outside of camp. She has already helped to create and grow a mentorship program for young women in the STEM field at John Jay College of Criminal Justice while also mentoring a number of students from her alma mater, the Henry Viscardi School. Kiara is very excited to use all of this experience with the campers at the Southampton Fresh Air Home.
