At Camp Endeavor, we embrace a uniquely wholistic approach to effective weight loss programs for youth between the ages of 9 - 17 years. Our philosophy is based upon the experience and research of nutritionists, exercise physiologists, psychologists and adults who have succeeded in their own weight management.

Our effective weight loss programming encompasses a broad spectrum of experiences and education in the areas of lifestyle habits, including movement, healthy eating and creating new behavior patterns in our life.

The physical (body) components include:

• Movement and play in non-competitive games and outdoor recreation.
• Participating in specially-designed fitness activities.
• Developing skills for selected sporting activities.
• Becoming more comfortable with our own bodies, how they look, feel and the ease with which they move.
• Improving muscle flexibility, strength, balance, coordination and endurance.
• Health Care Concerns

The mind (mental) components will be presented in small groups, be discussion-based and short in duration. These educational sessions include:

• The impact of the dining environment on eating habits and weight management.
• Uncovering or seeing through advertising.
• Creating effective change to sustain weight goals and other lifestyle habits.
• Sensible portion sizes and nutritious foods.

The spirit (emotional) components include:

• Practices to impact eating and overeating.
• Learning positive ways to accept & nurture one's self.
• Discovering protective responses to hurtful language.

But, first and foremost, your child will be regarded as a camper, one who will enjoy all the outdoor activities, cabin living, fun and new friends that make summer camps the rich, memory-filled experience of youth across the nation!
