Special Summer Camps Help Kids Lose Weight, Get Fit

It’s no secret that life as an overweight adolescent or obese teen can be a decidedly difficult experience. From health risks and body-image issues to teasing and bullying, young people with weight problems face an ongoing series of challenges to their physical health and mental well-being.

But at programs across the United States (plus a few in Canada and the United Kingdom, too), thousands of overweight youth are taking their first steps toward healthier and more satisfying futures. Best of all, there’s still time to enroll your child.

The renowned and respected Wellspring weight loss program is hosting youth summer weight loss camps this year in the following U.S. locations: California, Florida, Hawaii, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin. Outside the U.S., camps have been established in Vancouver, Canada, and Devon, England.
