Equinox Day at Fresh Air Fund Camp Mariah. Give youth a spark of fitness!
Each Year Equinox Group Fitness organizes a 1/2 day of fitness for the Fresh Air Fund Summer Campers in FishKill New York.
For those of you unfamiliar with the Fresh Air Fund, it is an amazing organization that offers a camp experience to inner city kids and those who would not normally get the opportunity to play in open fields, swim in lakes and enjoy nature in a camp setting.
Camp Mariah, is the Fresh Air Fund’s Career Awareness Camp, and it enables nearly 300 inner-city adolescents to explore educational paths and career options, while enjoying camp adventures.
Camp Mariah offers a unique setting to engage boys and girls in an educational curriculum and prepare them for the world of work. Intensive three-and-a-half-week summer sessions and weekend camping trips are complemented by year-round activities in New York City.
Children must be in the 6th grade to apply. Equinox Day is regarded as thecampers’ most favorite day of the whole summer!
They love the short classes, workouts and peptalks and enjoy meeting fitness professionals who ‘can make it (fitness) happen’ as a career choice.
The Fresh Air Fund relies on the generosity of its volunteers who give countless hours of their time, talent and commitment.
Each volunteer plays a key role in the success of The Fund’s summer and year-round programs and makes a difference for thousands of children each year.
