My two daughters (10 and 16) spent 2 weeks at Camp New Heights this past summer and they had a wonderful experience. My daughters were a little nervous going in (one actually told me straight up no she is not going), but within hours of arrival they were having a blast and at the end they didn't want to leave. The program was adapted and customized to meet their needs. The girls got to experience a plethora of new activities and were exposed to an abundant amount of information about nutrition, physiology, and life skills to bring home with them. Both girls loved their classes, counselors, and especially the weekend excursions. The camping excursion was such a great experience for the girls to get out and have a wonderfully structured outdoor adventure like they never had before. The camp was such a great experience that we intend on sending both girls back next summer. My daughters went from being skeptical about attending to begging us to stay longer and return next summer. I would recommend this camp to all parents, the experience is multifaceted and offers so many opportunities for kids to grow and thrive at camp and after returning home. Most importantly my daughters self esteem went up tremendously after the camp, they even seemed to be happier, more active and more open to physical activities after the camp comparing their lifestyle before. It's like they now stay active with intention and deeper understanding how important it is. It's a healthy life style lesson that they had though fun and group of people that made it feel like a family... read more

My high school aged daughter attended the camp for 2 weeks last year and she had a blast! She didn't want to leave. This camp was very unique and it gave her great experiences. The camp was located at UCSB, and used different facilities on campus. Campers and staffs all stayed on the same floor in the main dorm. The program was well organized, and it was almost like a custom-made camp for each camper. They offered many different options, and you get to be exposed to multiple sports and activities while you're learning techniques, making new friends and have fun. Most importantly, you're building valuable assets that can be carried over throughout your life. Night time activities were one of my daughter's favorite. All the staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and passionate with what they were doing. Weekend excursions were phenomenal I think no other camp can beat it: Going to an LA dodgers game, Channel island kayaking, helicopter tour, and beach outings were some of the many fun filled excursions this camp offered. Two thumbs up for Camp New Heights! read more

My granddaughter went to New Heights back in 2019 and she had a blast. The camp is really engaging for the kids and teaches them about eating healthy and exercising. My granddaughter came home as a new person. She had originally attended the camp hoping to lose weight for her freshmen year of school. She came back having lost weight, but also telling stories about how much fun she had and how much she had learned. First time we had her over after camp she was preaching to my wife about how to properly grill and season chicken (She's a hoot). Now a year later and my granddaughter still talks about camp and she even made her high school's JV swim team. I can't thank the Camp New Heights people enough for the work they have done in helping my granddaughter. We watched her pounds go down and her self-esteem shoot up. Great program, I would recommend to anybody whether they are looking to lose weight or not. Great people running this place who truly care about your children. read more

my daughter Lieal is 15. She flew International to attend a 3-week weight loss program at Camp New Heights .she can't stop raving about her experience. I couldn't believe a 3 week can make such an impact. Her confidence level went up, she gets up in the morning and works out, socializes easily, barely on her phone ( huge accomplishment ) , she is more focused and determined. she made friends at the camp and keep talking to them after she is back. The staff is very accommodating, Especially Stephen the program director was very responsive to every email, question, Whatsapp I sent and went out his way to do the required covid test for her before her flight back. I felt that my daughter is surrounded by a family-like community and we're very pleased we decided to send her there. I'll send both my daughters next year. I highly recommend to every parent who is looking to change there kids life for better. read more

I attended this camp last summer for four weeks. The moment I got there I knew it was going to be a great experience. The counselors were super welcoming and they all taught something different which brought a lot of variety to the camp. Monday through Friday there is a set schedule where campers prepare for the California Physical Fitness Test as well as participating in their self-selected classes. Even if you are not super into sports this camp offers other classes that campers will enjoy. New Heights will also begin to offer SAT prep this summer which is incredible! The excursions on the weekends are so much fun, last year I went to a Dodger game, zip lining, and a helicopter tour of Santa Barbara. I met some great friends and reach personal goals I never thought imaginable. Thank you so much Camp New Heights for a summer unlike no other! read more

My son just got home from 6 weeks at this camp. He had a wonderful time. The counselors and kids really bonded and seemed to create a "family". There was so much positive energy there. My son has learned a lot about nutrition and exercise. He struggles with his weight and has food issues. I loved that their focus wasn't on how much he weighed/lost but on teaching proper nutrition and exposing him to activities and exercises that he can enjoy to encourage an active lifestyle. Communication was excellent. Every promise they made was kept. When I dropped him off he was upset and didn't want to stay. When I picked him up, he was upset and didn't want to leave! And we have already heard from a couple of counselors checking in on him!!! I cant say enough about this camp! I strongly recommend it!! read more

This fitness camp has some of the best athletic directors & are really enthusiastic at what they do. This camp has been the best experience I've ever been apart of & I've been apart of great things. The relationships that you build there are so amazing, the people are amazing, & they really do help you with everything health related to your body. This camp has everything you can ask for, if you're into sports they have that, if you're into performing arts then this camp has that also. No matter what you what to do with your career, this camp is very beneficial to what you need. I wouldn't want to do anything else with my summer, but be here at this camp. Great experience, great health benefits, great people, & best experience ever!! Just to sum it up read more

My family and I want you to know how much we appreciate the way you have developed your CNH program and convey strong caring character when running your program. My son attended your program the summer of 2019 for 4 weeks. Once he returned we asked him, "how did you like it?"...he stated one word AWESOME and immediately followed with I want to do it next year. We all experience his great motivation, his knowledge of good eating practices, and understanding workout regiments. Great staff, great activities, great practices on there SATs and just building memories and new friends. Thank you all staff members at CNH. Oh yeah, great daily pictures emailed to parents of the campers' great times and activities. read more

Our twin boys loved Camp New Heights! They are 13 years old and, each, at varying fitness levels. One is VERY athletic, the other moderately athletic. They had fun, learned a lot, and made great friends. They returned home more respectful in helping around the house and showing more initiative less interested in being online, initiating active games from ping pong to basketball to weightlifting in the morning and going on hikes. They also seem to be more connected together as brothers! They came back from the camp not only in better health physically but also in their orientation to family life and each other, showing some admirable capacity as teen boys! read more

Camp New Heights is truly amazing! The program allows teens to grow physically as well as mentally. Kids become more confident in their abilities because of the no-judgment environment, come as you are leave a better you.

They just let kids be kids in a very supportive and mentoring environment, the result is a stronger kid who is confident in his/her own abilities. read more
