Tech Track at our Weight Loss Camp

Cell phones are equally as disruptive with some teens staying up all night texting or chatting on social media. Here is a disturbing thought, even if your teen is not using their phone during sleep hours, the lights or sounds they make (buzzing, notification bells, etc.) can disrupt their sleep patterns.

The consequences of prolonged disrupted sleep are severe and especially so for teens. Bodily functions including body temperature and hormone release, growth, mood swings, behavior issues, attendance at school, focus at school are just to name a few of the negative results of teens not sleeping enough.  The American Sleep Association is currently researching the link between ADHD and sleep disorders.

The good news is that Camp Pocono Trails provides and teaches your teen how to replace these bad habits. The structure in our schedule promotes a regular bedtime routine and hours of screen free time daily. In addition, our healthy approach to nutrition eliminates sugars and caffeine before bedtime. The active lifestyle that Camp Pocono Trails promotes also helps your teen to exert energy during the day so that at night they are not restless but are ready to sleep.

Summer Camp for Weight Loss is a Tech-Free Environment

Having some time away from screens is one of the most valuable aspects of a summer camp for weight loss. With our technology track, campers learn how to self-regulate their screen time by keeping a journal and limiting their time to predetermined levels.

While it is true that there are some benefits of online socialization, the way kids socialize online is unique and does not necessarily transfer over into the real world. For example, if one gets into an argument online you can just block the other user or log off for the day. Learning how to deal with frustration or social awkwardness is something that is best done face-to-face.

Additionally, with online interactions, kids miss out on learning about nonverbal communication and other subtle nuances of face-to-face communication such as tone, facial expression, and body language.

Finally, a summer camp for weight loss can develop a sense of responsibility for their child. A summer camp for weight loss gives campers the opportunity to learn about establishing healthy routines whether that is with food, physical activity, or screen time. Young people need to learn to do this without being forced to do so by their parents.

As parents, our knee-jerk reaction is often to police our children’s food intake or screen use.  We must always keep in mind that we are preparing our children for independence and that we will not always be there to monitor their behaviors. As a result, a summer camp for weight loss should always include lessons as to why we are making these changes. We should also teach our children the value they will gain by sticking to these new routines.
