Nebraska Teens Get Healthy at Pocono Trails Weight Loss Summer Camp!

Nebraska adolescents, teens, young adults and families come to Camp Pocono Trails in droves to lose weight and develop healthy habits. At Camp Pocono Trails we address everything from diet to fitness, self-esteem to technology overuse.

Our weight loss program for young adults is created in a way to foster social support and destigmatize the weight loss process.

Research shows the importance of social support for young adult weight loss. In the Journal of Behavioral Medicine, a 2016 study looked at the role of social support for young adults. Interestingly, while those who received the most social support regained their weight after a year, those that lost weight and kept it off received the most “active participant” support.

In other words, social support alone it’s not necessarily correlated with long-term weight loss. However, social support from others trying to keep their weight off is positively correlated with long-term weight loss.

Camp Pocono Trails is by far the most popular weight loss camp because of our science-based approach and our positive culture. Each Nebraska camper that comes to our weight loss camp has different goals, interests, and capabilities. We believe that every participant can experience some level of success and carry these victories back home and achieve permanent lifestyle change.

Nebraska Teens Get Back On Track At Camp Pocono Trails

If you are searching for the top weight loss camp in the United States, you have found the right place! Our weight loss camp focuses on the fundamentals of health, wellness, nutrition, fitness, and most importantly self-esteem.

Often, campers come to our weight loss camp after trying fad diets, weight loss pills, or other quick loss products. None of these fads or weight-loss gimmicks produce the long-term effects people want. This is why weight-loss products and weight loss fads come and go; but the principles of learning proper nutrition skills and incorporating physical activity into your daily routine will always be the backbone of true weight loss for teens and young adults.

There are no shortcuts to long term health. We teach campers how to set goals and take daily steps to achieve what they want in life. This goal-oriented philosophy goes for our weight loss component, our fitness component, and our technology overuse component.  Because it’s not realistic to just give up food, or to just give up your cell phone, we teach campers how to live in moderation.

Each camper attends nutrition and cooking classes weekly to learn and gain hands-on experience for a continued healthy lifestyle at home.

The health and well-being of our campers is paramount! Camp Poconos has an effective food and nutrition program because it balances nutrition with plenty of physical activity. This physical movement takes place all day long with a variety of activities. No pills, drugs or food supplements are ever used or encouraged. We don’t believe in fad diets. We believe in a healthy lifestyle. Campers learn to make smarter choices by making better menu selections in restaurants, being prepared before they go out to eat, being conscious of portion sizes, and engaging in physical activities.

The transformation is remarkable and most importantly it can be achievable and sustained when your teen returns home.
