|
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! |
