Camp Mariah

[edit]

Seriously DISAGREE. Camp Mariah needs its OWN heading! My son is there this week, but not through the fresh Air Fund. If it had been under fresh Air Fund I couldn't have found it - wouldn't have known how to access it. NOT a good idea - Thanks for listening —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.47.36.31 (talkcontribs)

The Fresh Air Fund's website [1] says that "Camp Mariah is the centerpiece of The Fresh Air Fund’s Career Awareness Program". Anyway, since the Fresh Air Fund's article could really do with some fleshing out and the camp is one of its programs I support the merge. Dr Zak 19:31, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Since Camp Mariah doesn't have much substance to it in the article, I would vote on merging it as well. Maybe if more content was developed for it I could see giving it it's own space, but otherwise merge. JavelinTiger 17:18, 6 June 2006

[edit]

Is it possible to make a search for "The Fresh Air Fund" link to this article? The OFFICIAL name of the charity (as per www.freshair.org) is "The Fresh Air Fund" not "Fresh Air Fund". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.38.207.162 (talk) 18:57, 10 December 2006 (UTC). Also, "Sharpe Reservation" should link here - the reservation is used by many children's groups and is run by The Fresh Air Fund - www.sharpe.freshair.org[reply]

Neutrality

[edit]

Not sure if it's more accurate to call it advertising, or simply not a neutral point of view; this is the strongest example (from the "The camping program" section):

Each placement in a camp costs the fund $1,234 but gives much happiness to many children.

It's followed by a "citation" that leads to a Flickr album.Vantine84 (talk) 07:20, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Hello, I was reading this and it made me wince, so I changed it. Best, Mike (kor56) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.64.37.22 (talk) 20:16, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV

[edit]

This article clearly lacks neutral tone, and probably employs language lifted from the Fund's own website. Examples abound; "it is really fun", "a warm and loving volunteer host family can make all the difference in the world", "her generous support and dedication" to pick a few. calr (talk) 10:47, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
