I attended Camp Kingsmont for two summers (2004 and 2005). That successful choice was responsible for the rest of the successes that I've had in the last year and a half.
The confidence booster from losing the weight gave me enough courage to join a lot more extra-curricular activities and also to run for and be elected class president for the 2004-2005 school year. Also, in the past year, my school average went up 10 percent. At my school's end of the year gala, I was even nominated for the student of the year award.
The most important thing that I learned from Camp Kingsmont is the advantages of being healthy. Camp gave me the tools to lose weight, be healthy and, most importantly, stay healthy. I like the fact that everyone there understands you and that nearly everyone knows how you feel because they went through the same phases as you. By attending Kingsmont, I think campers receive the help they need in order to solve their weight problems. They will also meet and become friends with people that understand them and deeply care about their well-being.
