Our Teenagers

After 35 years of helping kids, Camp Kingsmont has become more than just a summer camp; we are a family. Our campers return summer after summer, joining old friends, making new ones and maintaining their healthy lifestyle, even after achieving weight-loss goals. Teenage campers may join the C.I.T. program, return as Junior Counselors and often return as staff.

The Kingsmont Program for Teenagers helps you:

• Makes exercise a fun lifestyle
• Increases will power and self esteem
• Learn the secrets of becoming healthy
• Reduce stress and discover relaxation techniques
• Gain strength and new found energy
• Create a new and positive self-image

We Nurture Lifestyle Changes

At Camp Kingsmont, our nutrition classes help teens learn how food affects your body, and the importance of portion control and an emphasis on moderation. We take a realistic approach to healthy eating, which includes eating for energy and learning to love healthy foods, healthy alternatives to popular snacks, and learning to adopt and maintain a healthy lifestye.

Our connections program was developed by a former camper and encourages a positive body and self-image. We help teenagers learn highly effective goal setting methods, recognize unhealthy habits, and implement healthy ones.

Our certified trainers:

• Assist in setting realistic goals
• Develop a personal exercise plan
• Make weight loss of 4-6 pounds per week attainable
• Offer year-round support.

Campers receive a seasonal newsletter after camp and are encouraged to call or e-mail our year round staff for help and advice. They also receive our “Year Round Guide to a Healthy Lifestyle” booklet that includes:

• Personal and family menus
