Camp ENERGY will deliver a behavior modification intervention for adolescents who desire to lose weight and improve their health. Preventing obesity through healthy changes requires a program to teach realistic, life-long habits. Focusing on the fundamentals of exercise, nutrition, emotions, recording, goals, and how it affects you Camp ENERGY will achieve change.
Open to 16 healthy teens between the ages of 13-18 who are in the 85th percentile or above for height and weight requirements, Camp ENERGY has been designed to provide an environment that will stimulate changes in lifestyle for lasting health benefits.
Participants will visit Camp Victory in Millville, PA from May 14-16, 2010 and return to the grounds on October 2, 2010. Between the two sessions, education will continue to motivate and engage them in their new lifestyle.
Campers will receive a lesson manual & "healthy lifestyles" tool kit with pedometer, exercise ball, calorie counter, food scale to help them continue healthy habits and lifestyle modifications they learn at Camp Energy.
Unlike traditional special needs or weight loss camps, this is not just an experience, but treatment through education in the camp setting. Camp Energy has a long-term aim of providing a programmatic and sustainable solution to the problem of obesity in our youth.
Camp founders Jerry Foley and Rachel Bastian are available to discuss this opportunity. You can reach them at: campenergy@gmail.com. Dave Nevius, camp director of recruitment can be reached at 570-214-9796.
