Choosing a weight loss camp for you or your kids may take more time and effort than you’ve expected. If you are choosing a weight loss camp for your kid or teen, it will be best if you do it together – this way is it faster and more satisfactory for both sides.

You can’t just visit the weight loss camp to see if it is good for you or your kids before you register. So your decision for registration with any weight loss camp must be based on the information and references you can find in weight loss camp’s brochures or catalogues, newspapers, magazines, information and pictures from the official camp’s web site, or just word-of-mouth and stories of successful campers.

After you’ve gathered all that information and references about the weight loss camp you or you and your kid have chosen, and before you contact the weight loss camp director or official contact person for further questions, you should make a list of all other questions that interest you before you make the final decision.

List of questions you should ask before register with a weight loss camp

I assume that you are already aware when the weight loss camp starts, how many weeks it lasts and where it is located, so let’s move on with:

• The camp fee – a deposit or full payment? Any extra fees?
• Do the weight loss camp have repeat customers and for what reasons?
• Does the weight loss camp program have long-term results and how the camp stuff and counselors support the campers after they return home?
• Who is the nutritionist who has designed the camp’s weight loss diet and activity program and what is his/her experience?
• What are the credentials of the weight loss camp’s counselors and what type of counseling they provide – group or individual?
• Can a camper schedule his/her own activities for the day?
• Will you be able to visit you kid, or be visited by you relatives, at any time?

This is only an example list. You can write any questions that interest you in much more detail.

I hope this info was helpful to you. I wish you have great time whichever weight loss camp you choose and the most important: long-term weight loss results.

Weight Loss Camp – what is that?

Definition of weight loss camps

Weight loss camps (also called summer weight loss camps, because they are organized mostly during the summer) are sometimes incorrectly referred to as fat camps or diet camps, which is actually pretty wrong because fat and diet camps from one side and weight loss camps from the other side have only one thing in common – weight loss.

Despite both types of camps deal with the same problem – extra weight (pounds), they have completely different approaches to reach the same goal – permanent weight loss.

Fat and diet camps’ goal is exclusively focused on losing the excess weight (fat), while the weight loss camps also teach you how to keep the lost weight off permanently after the camp is over.

In short weight loss camps help you change your life in a way that you’ll never ever need a weight loss camp again – a major lifestyle change that will help you maintain your normal weight and keep the lost pounds off forever, and the most important thing enjoy your life and forget you’ve ever had a weight problem.

Weight loss camp – who is that for?

Is it only for kids and teens during their summer vacation?

No, of course not, weight loss camps are for people with weight issues from all ages, starting from:

• pre-teen weight loss camps for girls and boys (age 8-12),
• teen weight loss camps for girls and boys (age 13-16),
• pre-collegiate girls and boys (age 17-18),
• young adults (age from 19 to 21, 25 or 29 depending on different camps)
• and finally the adult weight loss camps for mature adults (age 30-60+)

Weight loss camps are for all who need and want to lose weight while having fun for the kids and spending great time for the adults.

Weight loss camps for adults

For all parents and adults with any weight problems, I must say that you should not let only the kids have fun while losing weight – you should try it as well – great vacation, relaxation and lots of fun and great time spent with your new friends.

You’ll never be worried about what you gonna eat, you won’t be hungry at all with all portion controlled low calories meals and snacks carefully planned by the nutritionists and skillfully prepared to meet all your nutrient needs into a healthy  and balanced weight loss program (including vegetarians’ needs).

You won’t be lying all day long just eating your next meal or snack though, but you’ll have full fitness and exercise programs to follow, being guided by your personal or group certified fitness or aerobic instructor.

Does it sound great? Yes, but probably without the physical part, right? Well, you can’t lose weight without the slightest effort.

As for the kids and teens they have great variety of activities to choose from – from swimming and playing all types of sports to arts, crafts and even performing arts.
