Program Description

The New Image Nutrition Program is designed to give campers the ability to lose weight while providing the necessary tools to keep it off. The camp promotes a sensible meal plan based on food pyramid guidelines. Through weekly nutrition and cooking classes, campers focus on portion control, balancing all food groups, and other proper nutritional principles. The camp program is designed to safely produce an average weight loss of 2-4 pounds per week. Campers are weighed individually, in private, on a weekly basis.

In addition to the core nutritional program, campers participate in a wide variety of summer camp favorites like sports, trips, individual activities, and more. All activities are conducted in a non-threatening and non-judgmental environment where participation trumps competition. Campers get one elective period each day to focus on a favorite activity area.

After camp, New Image provides a follow-up program that offers nutritional classes and personal training in several locations throughout the country. Campers also return home with an “At Home” booklet with nutrition tips and recipes to help them keep the weight off and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
