Young people remain in the program for three years, before joining an alumni club. Located on the banks of a 50-acre lake, surrounded by woods and mountains, Camp Mariah joins The Fund's four other camps on the Sharpe Reservation in upstate New York. The Communications Center, Activities Center and Career Center were designed exclusively for career-oriented experiences. A structured curriculum introduces campers to expanding career fields, such as science and technology, communications, health and nutrition, and environmental science. Other projects involve community service and career skills.
Campers attend workshops in photography, fashion, dance and computers.
The nature sanctuary, grassy playing field and waterfront area offer campers outdoor recreation and education. Traditional camping activities make career camp an attractive place for teenagers.
