My decision to send my 13 year old daughter to Camp Jump Start was the best decision I have made in…read moremy life. Jean (the founder) helped not just my child, but our whole family. I sent my daughter to the 4 week session, but I really wish I had sent her to the 8 week session. In 4 weeks, my daughter lost 20 lbs and has lost another 7 pounds in the one and a half months since she left camp. She makes better food choices (when she left her diet consisted of mainly fast food, ice cream, frozen pizza and mac and cheese!). She would literally not eat, unless it was something she really liked. Now she eats healthy sandwiches, salads, etc... She was forced to try different things at camp and she realized she actually likes a lot of healthier foods. I was never able to get her to change that here. Jean also helped us as a family. Her parental weekly group calls, pushed us to make changes while my daughter was gone. She gave us the strength to be stronger, to make better food choices, and help our child. My husband has lost 20 pounds and I lost 27 in two and a half months! The Camp itself is just beautiful. It is filled with trees and hills and a lake. Just gorgeous. You drive up a hill through the trees to the wooden cabins, mess hall, a pool, lake, etc. It reminds me of the beautiful outdoor summer camps I went to as a child. When I dropped her off, I remembered the excited and fear I had going to summer camp in the woods, as a kid, and how much I loved it and didn't want to leave when it was over. When we arrived, we saw another 70+ kids just like her. Some bigger, some smaller, all nervous, but I could see her future friends. These kids were just like her. Now instead of my kid on the sidelines, not good at sports, not someone the other kids would consider pretty or cool. Finally, she was among her people. Was camp hard? Yes! They worked hard, got lots of exercise. They played sports, swam, did yoga, aerobics, had nutrition classes, (my daughter learned to ride a bike!!), and had group therapy classes based on their particular needs. My daughter worked hard. She learned that she can work hard, exercise, eat healthier and lose weight. She can do all the things she wants too in life and succeed. I think she felt helpless before and didn't know how to change. They were also tough. She couldn't cry her way out of things. Mom gives in, the camp doesn't. So she was forced to succeed and her self confidence improved. Now she knows she can work hard, and mom knows she can too! My daughter still misses the camp experience. She misses being with those kids. She fit in at camp. Everyone was like her. They knew her struggles, they had them too. She still keeps in touch with her camp friends and maybe we will go back next year. Not just for the fitness and healthy eating, but also for the connections and the bonding she had with her people. This camp is a life saver.

My ten year old daughter just completed a summer at Camp Jump Start. If you have a child who is…read morestruggling with their weight, this is the place to send them WITHOUT QUESTION. Personally, I have always struggled with weight issues as have many of my brothers and sisters. I wish that Camp Jump Start had been available when I was a child as I think it could have saved me a lifetime of struggles and probably kept me from passing on those same struggles to my child. When my daughter cried out to me one night about her weight and how she hated herself for being ugly and fat, I could not stand by and watch her go down my same path. I looked online until late that night and found lists of several weight loss camps for kids. I requested information from all of them. I talked to several individuals about their camps and programs. When I received a personal reply from CJS's director and I spoke to the director on the phone, I knew that Camp Jump Start was the right place and I didn't need to look further. The program, the commitment of the director, and the philosophy of the camp towards health, well being, and self esteem came across as amazing in that initial correspondence. I just knew this was the right and BEST choice for my child. Although I desperately wanted my child to go, I knew I could not force my daughter to go. When I first told her about the camp, she said no. I asked her to watch one video on You Tube of a former camper speaking of her experience. I told her that if she would just watch it, I would not bring it up again if she wasn't interested. After she watched the video, she decided she wanted to go...not for just one session, but two. It was the best and bravest decision of her young life. She returned from camp with the biggest smile on her face. She lost 17% of her body weight while there but she gained an infinite amount of self-esteem and self-worth. I truly believe she feels beautiful for the first time in her life and I think she feels that there is hope whereas before she saw no hope. Before she went to camp, she was still having accidents at night...almost every night. After having gone to camp, she has had no accidents. Before she went to camp, I had to beg her to get a bath, brush her hair, or go shopping for clothes. I think she had just completely given up on herself. Now that she has returned, she showers willingly, she has taken an interest in her appearance, and she has enjoyed seeing herself as beautiful. She skipped into the clothing store the other day, something that would have been unheard of before CJS. She has become less dependent on me and more reliant on herself. All of the changes are positive and for the better. I couldn't have asked for more. The director, staff, and counselors at CJS are just exceptional. It is clear they aren't doing this for the love of money but for their love of the kids. Unfortunately, my daughter is also having to deal with the divorce of her parents. This issue has been a real struggle for her, but I feel that the camp director's philosophy of "You are who you are, you got what you got, and now you have to deal with it" really helped her put the situation in perspective. I can't say that the road ahead of us will be easy. I'm sure it won't. I don't know how my daughter and I will do going forward, but I know that I have given her the best foundation possible for change. The Camp's name is truly reflective of its mission; it is a jump start. Hopefully it will be a jump start for both my daughter and I. If you are still reading this, I hope it will be a jump start for you and your child. Many Blessings

From the first time I spoke with Angie, the assistant director, I could tell we would be taken good care of. I told her we were new to child care outside our family and that I would need some major encouragement along with my LO. They did not disappoint. Constant updates the first few weeks, hugs from staff when I was in tears dropping off in the morning with a screaming 3yo, and help with her eating new foods. Her teacher, Ms. Bre, is amazing!!! So patient and ready to help in any way she can. Gives our girl movies when needed and now my girl runs in to school with a smile and open arms for all of her friends! I prayed for a place like this for my kids and I'm so glad we are here!!

Multiple workers saw us and one even walked past us into the locked building and didn't ask if we needed assistance at that point it was almost 2:05 so we decided to leave as it did not seem like they were interested in getting new clients. When calling to advise them that no one helped us nor was someone there to do our tour, the operator just said sorry and then stopped talking into the phone instead of requesting further information and trying to determine why we had no one waiting for us. To me this is not a place that I would want to bring my child to. Did not set a good first impression.
