Health and Wellness Camp for Tampa Residents

Florida teens are just as technology driven as any other teen out there. As a society we have been submerged with our iPhones, computers, tablets, gaming devices, and more. Camp Pocono Trails is proud to introduce a new technology track for our teens and the perfect escape from all of it. The best way to change technology habits is to replace them with healthy habits. Should you chose this option, Licensed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) counselors and social workers will teach you the skills to break free and maintain a healthy balance in this age of technology. This summer commit to change and embrace the healthy lifestyle with the skills that are taught at Camp Pocono Trails. Break free from the routines that keep you attached to these devices. Get active, fill your lungs with some fresh mountain air, and meet some new friends this summer at Camp Pocono Trails!

We can pick you up from the Allentown, PA airport.

Teen Fat Camp Versus Camp Pocono Trails

It would also be much harder to convince your child to participate in a program called “a teen fat camp” versus a “fun health and fitness camp” like Camp Pocono Trails. Any program that calls themselves a “teen fat camp” obviously does not take into consideration the psychological aspect of weight gain.

To truly be successful at controlling your weight, a teenager needs to start thinking about their relationship with food and changing their daily habits. The only way to have your teenager take ownership of this issue is to create an atmosphere where weight control is seen as a positive and desirable skill.

Why the Term “Fat Camp” Should be Avoided

Parents who seek a fat camp should know that framing the issue in a negative manner can be detrimental to your child’s psychological development. Self-esteem is an important determinant of adolescent development and mental health.

Academic studies have shown that one out of every three girls have a distorted interpretation of her appearance. Researchers have found that obesity is the most strongly correlated physical issue with low self-esteem in prepubescent girls.

Other issues that correlate with obesity in girls include family stress, sedentary behavior, higher rates of screen time, and school bullying.
