Weight loss camps are becoming more and more popular and they aren’t just for overweight kids anymore.  They are for adults too, and they can give you the kind of holistic focus that you need to address weight loss and fitness issues.

What Are Weight Loss Camps?

Weight loss camps can be either day camps where the participants come to the facility on a daily basis and then go home at the end of the day or they can last over several days to a week or more or participants stay at the facility for the entire time.  There are weight loss camps for both children and adults and there are even some facilities that accommodate both adults and children.

Each program will be a little bit different but generally they will include a combination of both nutrition instruction and exercise programs.  They may separate the day into structured activity like weight strengthening classes or aerobic class and unstructured activities like nature hikes.  The overall theme of most weight loss camps is making healthy choices but many of them integrate behavioural changes and making a plan for the future, including weight loss maintenance.
