Health and Wellness Camp for Yonkers Residents

Our campers will love the nostalgic feel of the cabins and the gorgeous view of the lake. The best surprise happens when they open the door. Instead of bunk beds, each camper lives in comfort with their own separate bed and storage space.

Instead of one swimming pool, we have two and one is for the boys and the other is for girls. The dining hall features food to accommodate all tastes. Everything is prepared in a healthy way and we do not fry or serve prepackaged, highly-processed foods. We do offer kosher foods and fruits and vegetables with every meal.

Why We Need a Health and Fitness Camp

Today, unhealthy food choices are everywhere and serving sizes have expanded greater than ever before. Take Coca-Cola for example, where the only serving size used to be a meager 6 oz.

Today, we can go to a McDonald’s fast-food restaurant and order a small Coke which is 12 oz, double the size of the largest and only size of Coke back in the 50s. It is easy to see that the food industry has tapped into the fact that we are naturally attracted to salt, fat, and sweets. Because the cost of a large order of fries over a small order of fries is mere pennies for the manufacturer, they are incentivized to give us more unhealthy food to create profits.  It may seem like a good deal to “super-size” your fast food order for mere pocket change, but how good of deal are you really getting when that high-caloric density food causes health problems?

Health Camp for Campers of All Ages

There are many reasons why parents seek a health camp for kids during the summer. For most kids, the summertime means a lack of structure.  The school routine is gone and parents are often working or not able to attend to their child around the clock.

Generally, kids fall behind academically during the summer and many kids fall behind socially and physically as well. The unstructured nature of summertime means easy access to the family refrigerator and hours of mindless snacking when they would otherwise be in class or participating in PE or after school sports.

Health and Fitness Camp: Next Steps

When adolescents and teens make impulsive food choices and do not plan their day, health consequences often arise. At our health and fitness camp, we also teach young people how to plan their time to not let the day just get away from them. We teach campers how to think about food so that mindless eating does not occur.
