Best Fat Camp for Montana Families!

Many families looking for a Montana Fat Camp come to us. We offer the best teens and young adults weight loss camp in the country here at Camp Pocono Trails. We are a summer paradise for teens and young adults located on a spectacular 350-acre lakefront resort.

Fat Camp Defined

A “fat camp” is a place where young Montana people go to have fun, make new friends, and learn about health and fitness while losing weight. Many young people up through young adults may benefit from a weight loss camp. These camps work through a dedicated program of diet, exercise, and education. At Camp Pocono Trails we call our program a “weight loss camp” as opposed to a “fat camp.” This is because we believe framing the issue with positivity is more helpful than using a negative term like “fat camp.” While we do use the term on this page, we would never call a camper “fat” at our program. We even employ qualified therapists to work on self-esteem and positive body image at camp.

We love campers from Montana at our fat camp. We are truly a fat camp for Montana teens, adolescents, and young adults. We can help Montana campers figure out transportation to our camp and ensure you feel right at home at Camp Pocono Trails!

Teens and young adults at our summer weight loss camp participate in a wide array of over 100 fun and engaging activities that teens and young adults love. From fishing to rock climbing and from jet skis to golf, there is something here at Camp Pocono Trails for every adolescent, teen, or young adult male to enjoy.

At our  weight loss camp, we strive to match participants with activities they will want to do when they go back home. We even offer activities to build self-esteem such as self-esteem focus therapy groups and outgoing activities like drama. If you are looking for a  weight loss camp, you will find no better option than Camp Pocono Trails.

For large camp activities, boys and girls will participate together. One great aspect of our  weight loss camp is that campers form friendships very quickly in a supportive and nurturing environment. Teens and young adults from all across the country quickly bond in our atmosphere of 100% positivity.

How Much do I Exercise at a Fat Camp?

Fat Camps for kids and teens are not designed to be boot camps; campers will be working out, but not overworked. Physical activity is an important part of the weight loss process. Campers need to burn more calories than they take in for weight loss to be effective. For campers to keep the weight off, they need to find activities they will want to continue upon their transition back home.

Camp Pocono Trails seeks to make exercise fun through activities, sporting events, competitions, and games. Campers may not even know they are exercising when attending Camp Pocono Trails. This is really the key for long term weight loss. Campers must find an enjoyable activity they embrace and will continue in the long term. In this respect, they must find a workout activity they don’t really consider a “workout.”

Often, this is a sport or game they can play with a group. Having the group influence helps keep campers motivated and participating in the sport or game of their choice.

It can be difficult finding a sport or game that is offered back home. This is why we try a wide variety of activities at camp. Sometimes, a solitary activity like jogging or yoga is the best match for campers that are limited by geography or other environmental factors.

Your child can be at ease about any exercise concerns at fat camp. We encourage each-other to bring out our best and work hard, but we would never force a camp into doing something in which they are uncomfortable. Surprisingly, almost all campers participate in the Camp Pocono Trails 5K race at the end of camp.

One of the most important aspects of our weight loss program for teens is that we teach campers how to come back after a setback in healthy behaviors. To truly be a weight controller, one needs to learn how to manage life setbacks and get back on track after having a bad day.

One way we do this is by creating an overall positive atmosphere. At camp, we link our interventions with positivity. Because acceptance is critical to the weight loss process, we address camper self-esteem with professional therapists and teach our campers how to cope with life’s issues using strategies other than self-soothing through eating.
