What is a Fat Camp?
A “fat camp” is the common name for an all-inclusive weight loss summer camp for kids, teens, and young adults. At Camp Pocono Trails we prefer the term “weight loss camp” as it’s a more accepting term that better describes the end result our campers are seeking. While as parents we might think we are being helpful telling our child what is wrong with them, it’s rarely helpful to hurt their feelings. Probably, your child already knows if they are overweight. They are more likely to get on board with a program that is termed a “weight loss camp” versus a “fat camp” in New York.
At our fat camp for New York campers, we get so many campers from New York that we decided to create this page just for parents, teens, and young adults from New York. Many parents drive to Camp Pocono Trails, and we can also pick up your child from major airports in our area.

Our fat camp is near New York and many families come from the big apple each summer. Each camper attends daily classes that give them the skills to make better lifestyle changes. Reading nutritional labels and learning how to prepare healthy meals are some of the skills your camper will come home with. Campers will learn how to serve themselves healthy portions. Some campers are pleasantly surprised to realize that they can eat more of the healthy foods they like at summer camp than they could eat of their unhealthy snacks before coming to camp.
How Much do Fat Camps Cost?
When considering the cost of fat camp, keep in mind the cost of doing nothing, or investing in a fad diet or other half measure that does not work. The costs of “doing nothing” or half measures can be immeasurable. We already know the health effects of being overweight over your lifespan. But many parents don’t consider the financial related costs. For example, people who are overweight are less likely to graduate college, more likely to occupy a lower socio-economic status, and are less likely to get married.
Fat camps such as Camp Pocono Trails cost around 2,000 per week, depending on the camp and length of stay. Fat Camps like Camp Pocono Trails are all-inclusive, meaning that all meals, lodging, and activities are included in the program price.
Parents should consider tuition at camp similar to tuition in a child’s education. At Camp Pocono Trails, we are preparing your child for life success after they reach the age of independence. Parents can rest assured that we will provide the right corrective experiences to ignite a lifetime of health, wellness, and weight control.
Our campers will participate in conversations with new friends about how to change the way they think about themselves. When they look in the mirror they will be encouraged to acknowledge the positive things they see. These growing experiencing are designed to promote healthy self-esteem. Our campers come to lose weight, but they leave with so much more. Will you hear stories about how much weight a camper has lost? Yes, but you will soon realize that the transformation that happened here was so much greater than that. New friends, great memories, and lifestyle changes will help jump-start our campers’ weight loss journey and help them to continue on the right path when they return home.
