The best aspect of Camp Pocono Trails is that it benefits Pennsylvania teens physically, but also socially and emotionally. Let’s begin by taking a look at how life skills are addressed.

Now that The World Health Organization has classified gaming addiction as a disorder, many professionals are questioning if you can truly be addicted to activity. Regardless of terminology, if your teenager is using their smartphone or gaming to the point that it’s causing stress in the family, then it’s a problem. At Camp Pocono Trails, we help Pennsylvania teens change their habits. So, whether your child is on their smartphone for 2 hours a day or 12, we can help them to refocus on healthy habits.

Often times with teens change can be painful and can feel drastic. So instead of focusing on what they are losing, it can be beneficial to help them see what healthy habits they are gaining. At Camp Pocono Trails, we accomplish this by promoting change in a culture of positivity and peer support.

Your family has habits, both healthy and unrewarding that you do every day. Brushing your teeth is a healthy habit that you probably don’t really think about anymore. It’s just part of your normal routine. We help teens add healthy habits to their routine, like daily exercise, preparing healthy meals and actively socializing, so that like brushing their teeth it becomes part of their daily standard. By adding enriching activities and routines to their life we slowly edge out any room for unproductive habits, like scrolling through Instagram for an hour every afternoon.

We help our campers understand how to manage their time in a productive and fulfilling way. Instead of focusing on breaking an addiction or stopping the use of all technology our campers learn how to organize and schedule time for different activities in their day. In other words, we learn to balance technology with healthy living. Our campers learn skills to not be drawn into the temptations of using their devices impulsively. This simple reframing of a goal can often help teens jump on board and be active participants to change.
