Mariah Carey: Fresh Air Fund
built 127 days ago
Camp Mariah is the centerpiece of The Fresh Air Fund’s Career Awareness Program. Camp Mariah provides three-and a-half week summer camp sessions for nearly 300 boys and girls. Camp offers a unique setting for young people to enjoy career exploration and preparation for the world of work. The summer program is both educational and recreational. In addition to career awareness, boys and girls enjoy traditional camping activities including hiking, swimming and singing around campfires. The Career Awareness Camp is named in honor of board member Mariah Carey for her generous support and dedication to Fresh Air youngsters.

During this marital turmoil, Carey attended a gala for The Fresh Air Fund, which provides free rural vacations for underprivileged New York children. (As a teen, she’d spent time at one of its camps. Now there’s a Camp Mariah in Fishkill, N.Y., named in her honor.) That night she met Derek Jeter. An eventual romance with the Yankee shortstop altered how she understood herself.
