BRIEF CAMP DESCRIPTION: Camp Jump Start at the Living Well Village. Your success starts here. We are a whole health camp that specializes in weight loss. Camp Jump Start is one of a kind, as it is the only non-profit weight loss camp in the nation. We are mission driven which gives long term results as opposed to other camps that just exist to make a profit. The program is overseen by health professionals who guide campers to weight loss success through fitness activities, behavior modification, and nutritional education along with well-balanced, portion-controlled meals. The gain in self-esteem is incredible: Campers leave feeling empowered to make healthier choices in order to maintain weight loss. We offer lifestyle emphasis and FREE follow-up.
We are open to kids and teens and offer traditional camp activities with non-competitive sports, as well as many adventure experiences in mountain biking and hiking. There is a pool and lake on the Living Well Village property. See our website for session dates and prices.
We're a weight loss camp, but weight loss is only one part of the awesome benefits you find here. CJS is FUN, and the campers are always part of our family-- even after the summer ends. See what a difference a summer can make!
