My name is Christine Marquette and I'm a registered dietitian with the Austin Regional Clinic
and I'm going to talk to you about weight loss camps for girls. There are a couple of
major weight loss camps that target girls specifically. Several of these are actually
in California. California Camp Fit and California La Hoya Camp, those are two of the major camps
that specifically target girls. They have strictly girl camps, they don't advertise
that they have co-ed camps and the main reason why is that these particular camps feel that
it's more beneficial, for a girl who's trying to loose weight, to not have the distraction
of boys being around, not being worried about their appearance, not being worried so much
about whether they're going to look funny doing their physical activity, that type of
thing. These particular types of camps really do cater to young girls and really do try
to help them learn how to eat healthy and learn how to incorporate physical activity
into their normal daily routine. Another big camp that targets strictly girls is actually
up in the Northeast, it's about two hours from New York City and about one hour from
Philadelphia and it's Camp Pennbrook, it's another camp that really strictly targets
girls. A lot of the similar principals, they're really trying to teach the girls how to be
more physically active, how to make healthy food choices, and how to actually plan healthy
meals. So, those are the two major areas that have camp strictly for girls up in the East
Coast and over on the West Coast.
