My daughter's experience at Camp Pocono Trails was truly the single most life changing event of her life. She attended the summer prior to entering High School and was hoping to learn how to keep herself healthy and in shape both physically and mentally.
With the help of Tony Sparber and his amazing staff, my daughter was able to take away many valuable life lessons from her experience. She learned how to maintain a healthy lifestyle and she also learned the importance of exercise and good nutrition. These are all things we, as parents, have always tried to instill, however, in the environment of the camp, she was around other children with the same issues. The kinship that the camp offers propels the campers to achieve their goals.

My daughter's highest weight was approx. 180 lbs. As of today, she weighs 124 lbs. and is active in school sports and extra-curricular activities.

I am grateful to Tony and the staff for the hard work and dedication they give to each and every child. They make the campers aware of what needs to be done and guides them to success. Although my daughter is now at goal weight, she is considering returning. My nephew is potentially a new camper for the summer of 2009 and she wants to be there for him as he goes through this life changing program. I look forward to seeing the staff and Tony again.

Thank you, Camp Pocono Trails, for your expertise and guidance. I tell people all the time that there is really no price tag for a healthy child.
