If your child is overweight, weight loss camps are equipped to deal with this issue proactively and with sensitivity. Many children have benefited from the holistic approach taken to fitness and weight loss espoused by a summer camp focusing on those exact issues. Engage your child with one of these camps for only one summer, and the benefits may last a lifetime.
Weight loss camp can teach children the essentials of fitness, weight management and healthy eating habits in an environment that is conducive to learning and will not make them feel judged. In an environment of peers facing similar problems with weight, your child will feel accepted, open to sharing with others and encouraged to face challenges from his or her new friends.

Fitness boot camps for kids maximize intensity. It may sound pejorative to some, but there are those in the industry who cheerfully refer to these as fat camps. Chelsea Kronegold has “had the privilege of attending as a camper, counselor, and group leader [and says] Yes, you heard me, Fat camp! …. Given that everyone is at camp for the same reason, sharing similar goals and motivations, [this] is a place where we encourage and empower one another to be the best we can be.”
Use our site to find many different summer camps offering a variety of outdoor activities that will get you active and outside. By nature, any summer camp should help your child lose weight, though not all are well-suited for a child with an acute weight problem. Some camps that make casual fitness fun are as follows:
Horseback riding camp is one way to find pleasure out-of-doors and engage in many activities not necessarily fitness-focused.
Kids' golf camp is another low-impact activity that combines fun outdoors with a lot of walking and other incidental exercise.
Baseball camp is another way to engage in less strenuous exercise while staying active.
Kids’ yoga is another ideal way to ease into a more active lifestyle while also mindfully managing your physical activity.
Traditional camps offer a broad slate of activities that shows them fun outdoors, and the joy they can gain in working up a sweat through activities as various as ziplining, swimming, etc.
As an aside, some other low impact activities that let kids ease into exercise include cycling and dance.
Negative attitudes toward these camps stem largely from attitudes south of the border. A Canadian camp will be run with heightened sensitivity, running a curriculum is often remarkably intelligent, with an orientation toward wholeness and wellness.
