Weight Loss Summer Camps

Weight Loss Summer Camps for Kids & Teens

Weight loss summer camps, sometimes (incorrectly) regarded as "fat camps," combine physical and dietary programs with traditional summer camp activities to help campers lose weight and keep it off. Through nutrition, physical activity, and positive lifestyle changes, weight loss summer camps give campers the tools necessary to live healthier lives. In the process, kids and teens make new friends and develop important support networks comprised of encouraging peers, camp staff, and family members. By the end of the summer, campers feel an increased sense of self-confidence and excitement about making positive changes to their bodies, moods, and lives.

Ages, Tuition, and Session Length at Weight Loss Summer Camps

Overnight weight loss camps typically welcome campers between the ages of 8 and 25. All programming is age and gender specific, and most camps develop custom programs and goals for each individual camper.

Sessions at weight loss camps are typically between 4 and 8 weeks. Campers who stay at weight loss camp for longer sessions typically experience better results and maintain healthier year-round habits. Tuition at weight loss camps is typically in excess of $1,000 per week because of the professional staff, quality of food, and on-going clinical support that most programs offer.

Choosing the Best Weight Loss Summer Camp

There are many important factors that families should consider when choosing a weight loss camp for their child or teen. What type of dietary restrictions, if any, are placed on campers? Does the camp provide year-round support after the summer is over? Do campers work with professionals like dieticians, nutritionists, and doctors? Is your family willing to collectively make positive lifestyle changes to encourage your camper after the program ends?
