Self Esteem Camp

Parents seeking a camp to improve self-esteem find no better option than Camp Pocono Trails. We are a self-esteem building, healthy habit focused summer camp for adolescents, teens, families and young adults.

A Summer Camp for Self-Esteem is a Great Option

When parents first find Camp Pocono Trails there is sometimes a bit of hesitation in that they have tried everything else to no avail. Sometimes, parents wonder if they could perhaps be doing more harm than good to their child’s self-esteem by sending their child to a camp to change habits, whether that is directed towards weight loss, health Improvement, or use of online activities.

If you are a parent in this category, I have some great news. So far, we have never had a camper complete a 4-week session at Camp Pocono Trails and fail to experience at least some level of success. Our program is quite comprehensive. We utilize nutritionists, personal trainers, social workers, therapists, and even a psychologist to ensure that the program is implemented in the most professional manner possible.

A Corrective Experience at Summer Camp

Our camp is designed to be a self-esteem boosting experience. Your child is not only going to learn about nutrition and culinary skills, but they will also have the experience of participating in a wide range of sports and activities to burn calories and keep in control of their weight. When your child leaves Camp Pocono Trails, they will be weight controllers and know that their health and wellness is based on daily decisions.

Until the Camp Pocono Trails experience, many campers have fallen into unhealthy habits of over-eating, inactivity, and online time-wasting. If your child is interested in improving social skills or limiting their video game or online use, we can address these issues with our proven curriculum.

Whether your camper needs to learn healthy eating habits or healthy time management use of online activities, our campers leave knowing that they are in control of their daily routine and can choose their path in life.

This is really an unusual experience for most campers we serve at Camp Pocono Trails. The corrective experience can’t be overemphasized. For many campers, this is the first time they have ever felt in control of their weight, health, social ability, or online use.

The Self Esteem Summer Camp Experience

It is our experience that campers leave “walking on air” because of the positive interactions they’ve had at camp. Consider this: what other experience could you pay for that will absolutely ensure your child will have corrective interactions that result in success. Certainly, you couldn’t do this on a vacation, or a contained environment like a cruise ship. Even going to a regular camp your child is not guaranteed to form healthy habits.

At Camp Pocono Trails, this is what we do. Your child will learn the skills they need to become a weight controller; a person in charge of their health, and a person that sets and limits their online activities so that they have ample time to socialize, complete academic duties, and participate in after school sports and extracurricular activities.

For many campers, all they lack is the experience of being in control. Consider for just a moment how empowering it is to feel in control of your weight, health, and online activities. By experiencing being in control, your child now understands that how they look, feel, and come across to other teens is completely within their control.

The Cost of Doing Nothing

It is disheartening that sometimes we hear of a primary care physician or therapist that recommends against the camp because they believe failing at camp will only worsen the issue. From our experience, every camper at Camp Pocono Trails experiences some level of success. We also know that letting an issue fester will only result in consequences that are more severe in the future. For example, consider weight loss. If your child does not learn the behaviors to control their weight, they will certainly face health issues and social issues in their adulthood.

The link between obesity and health issues including lifespan are well-established. The link between social issues and obesity are also well established. It is with almost one hundred percent certainty that if your child does not learn how to control their behaviors they will face devastating consequences. The cost of “doing nothing” is too high of a price. Thankfully, programs like Camp Pocono Trails are here to help.
