New Jersey Teens BUILD Social RESILIENCY Skills At Camp Pocono Trails

Many New Jersey teens today report that they don’t have as strong of a social network or as deep of friendships as their parents and grandparents did, mostly because of our current use of social media.  Social media networks allow us to have an artificial way of partaking in our acquaintances’ lives, liking their posts, commenting on photos, but not actually participating and showing true support.

Often at Camp Pocono Trails teens easily make friendships because they meet other kids who struggle with some of the same issues and feel the same way they do.  It’s easier to break the ice when you aren’t the only shy kid, or the only one trying something new for the first time.

Benefits of a Weight Loss Camp

The best advantage of attending our weight loss family camp (which is an option in addition to the regular camp) is that everyone leaves on the same page. There is no miscommunication about what is on program or off program as parents and children alike receive the same nutrition, fitness, and culinary instruction.

Research has shown that family involvement such as offered at our weight loss family camp can produce better results than sending your child to camp alone. One meta-analysis that was published in the International Journal of Obesity and Related Metabolic Disorders looked at over 20 research articles on family involvement in weight loss.

It was found that beneficial effects were seen when interventions were taught to both parents and children alike across multiple research studies. Benefits were seen in both parents and children when weight loss interventions are implemented as a family versus just implemented by the parents or child alone. In other words, you will see greater results in your own weight loss and your child will see greater results with their individual weight loss then you would if either of you attended a weight loss program individually.

Weight loss Camp works

We don’t need research to tell us the weight loss family camp works.  It just makes intuitive sense. When you consider what is really needed to achieve long-lasting results, one can quickly see how a shift in family culture is necessary.

For example, it is much easier for a family to decide collectively to incorporate a walk after dinner or to take active vacations versus going on a cruise. As a group, we are much more likely to adhere to these cultural changes than as an individual. At our weight loss family camp, each individual family member will leave with the motivation, desire, and know-how to return home and be successful.

The group aspect of our weight loss family camp also takes the stigma off any one individual family member. For young campers especially, this is anxiety relieving knowing that the entire family is committed to change and no individual blame is being placed on the child.
