Weight Loss Camps for Teens

December 10, 2016 by ds_65371 Leave a Comment

If your teen is carrying more pounds than she would like, weight loss camp may prove an effective means of shedding them. With the number of obese teens and children constantly on the increase, numerous camps have popped up across the country, offering programs aimed at helping teens get healthy. Enrolling your teen in one of these focus-on-fitness camps may provide her with the weight-loss assistance she needs and allow her reduce her weight to a healthy range.

Wellspring Camp

The Wellspring family of camps purports to move away from the food deprivation practices of traditional “fat camps” and focus instead on teaching campers the science behind achieving and maintaining an ideal weight. This camp is based in California, but it has branches that venture into many other states, including Texas, Pennsylvania and Florida. Many of the Wellspring camps run year-round, allowing your teen to take advantage of the programs whenever it fits into his busy schedule. Several Wellspring camps even offer entire-family camping packages, allowing you and your spouse to join your teen should you have some weight of your own you would like to lose.
