Your Washington teen will be nurtured by experts. Many of our hand-picked staff are attracted to working at this renowned camp and have returned year after year. They believe in and are responsible for the quality of care each camper receives. The nutritional program is run by a licensed dietitian.

We are the largest and best weight loss camp in the US with close to 1,000 campers served every summer. Most campers come from other states like Washington and quickly make new friends. We do airport pickups from two major airports. You can rest assured your child will make it safley to camp and will be amoungst other campers from all over the world.

The food is prepared in a healthy way to minimize sugars and fats. For example, instead of fried chicken, it is grilled. An assortment of vegetables and fruits are available at every meal. Along with eating healthy at every meal each camper attends diet and nutritional classes. They learn how to read food labels and they learn how to substitute favorite unhealthy foods for healthy foods that satisfy the same cravings. Reasonable portion sizes are encouraged. Washington teens learn that a healthy lifestyle is about making healthy food choices and staying active.

Fishing and ropes courses tend to be among the most popular activities for teens and young adults while other teens and young adults enjoy sports and aquatics. Some teens and young adults, however, gravitate to theatre and dance. No one at Camp Pocono Trails is judgmental- everyone is encouraged to try their best at all activities no matter what they are.

When Washington parents reunite with their teens at the end of summer camp they are delighted with the changes. Each camper will receive a recipe book and have practiced cooking these recipes all summer. They will know what to order and how to make smart choices at restaurants and during the holidays. On average a camper loses 3-5 pounds a week by adopting the healthy, active lifestyle that they discover at Camp Pocono Trails!

There are no Strangers at Weight Loss Camp, Just Friends You’ve Not Met!

If your child is nervous about attending camp, you’ve found the right camp for sure. We have a positive atmosphere filled with love and support. Every camper makes friends and is encouraged to support each-other. Professional staff like therapists and social workers ensure that campers get along with one another and that any homesickness issue is addressed head-on.

Consider the cost of doing nothing. If your teen is on a downward spiral because of weight issues, self-esteem issues, technology overuse issues… what is the likelihood that things will improve when they go to college?

Will your teen join the 60% of campers who fail to graduate college? Consider the cost of wasted tuition, wasted time, and the cost of supporting them back at home if they fail to thrive.

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.

At Camp Pocono Trails, your teen will have the support of experts and their peers. They will learn strategies to continue a healthy lifestyle and maintain it when they go home. Our campers leave understanding how to manage their day for healthy, successful outcomes. They experience success and this motivates them to learn how to continue it. Some of their best memories and friends will be made at Camp Pocono Trails! This is an investment with quality results.
