Consider enrolling your overweight child in a camp geared towards weight loss. At camps like these, your child will receive expert nutritional advice in a supportive environment, and will engage in a variety of activities such as water aerobics, healthy cooking classes, soccer games and tennis matches.

Tony Sparber started his New Image Weight Loss Camps after attending a similar-themed camp when he was 14 years old that changed his life for the better. He wants to share his good experience with others. "Any parent of an overweight child will benefit from sending their child to a weight loss camp," Sparber says. Sparber's campers lose an average of 2 to 4 pounds a week but the camp's ultimate goal is to change unhealthy habits and teach how to live a healthy lifestyle.
