Experience

REALLY MATTERS

What we learned from helping kids lose weight since 1968

• How to run a safe and supervised Camp.
• How to create a Caring Camp.
• How to insure every camper is included in activities.
• How to insure every camper is feels comfortable at Camp.
• What to do when a camper has a problem.
• How to supervise, motivate and involve staff.
• How to guarantee consistently high standards.
• The need to insist on consistent and strictly observed standards.

The underlying philosophy that makes it happen

• Using positive reinforcement
• Listening – really listening – to each child
• Building a camper’s sense of self-worth
• Dealing effectively with negative behavior by reacting positively

Our staff understands how to do it by example, because our directors are consistently positive role models – day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute.
