Best Weight Loss Camp for New Haven Campers

Finding the best weight loss camp for your child or yourself online can be a daunting process.  This post is meant to be a guide for people seeking the best weight loss camp and don’t know where to start.

Does the Weight Loss Camp Serve Your Age Group?

The first step in determining the best weight loss camp for you or your child is to discover if the camp caters to your age group.  At Camp Pocono Trails, we serve adolescents starting at age seven, teenagers, and young adults age 18-21.  We also have a family camp where families stay in private cabins together, and we have a mom’s camp as well for females of adult age.

The Best Weight Loss Camp will be Accredited

Only the very best camps can be accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA). This is the “Good Housekeeping” seal of approval for summer camps.  Only camps that meet rigorous safety and quality standards can earn this accreditation.  At Camp Pocono Trails, we have met these standards.

Addressing New Haven Teen Screen Time

Today, a quality health camp for kids will also include time away from electronics and teaching young people the skills to manage their downtime. Ask anyone with a child today and they will tell you that electronics like cell phones, computers, and tablets are a constant distraction. As electronics become more a part of our daily routine, face to face time socializing or engaging in rigorous physical activity is a behavior we see less and less of.

It’s critical today that parents show their child how to live in a healthy way. Your child’s habits they start at home will continue on through college or whatever the next step is towards independence.

Spending too little time exercising, too much time overeating, or not enough time socializing due to video games or cell phones can create habits that extend well into adulthood. These habits can wreak havoc on your child’s long-term health.
