News image: Camp Strong4LifeATLANTA, Ga., April 30, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Located at Camp Twin Lakes and overseen by Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta’s pediatricians, Camp Strong4Life caters to children struggling with their weight and dealing with the health issues that come with that struggle. While kids may have initial reservations about going, it won’t be long before they are enjoying swimming, rock-wall climbing, archery, zip-lining, playing games, building friendships and making memories that last a lifetime.

Do any of these sound like a kid you know?
* He refuses to drink anything but soda or juice and says he does not like the taste of water.
* She won’t put on a bathing suit and swim anymore because she’s too self-conscious.
* He gets out of breath walking up the stairs.
* Her teacher says she has trouble concentrating and lacks energy.

If you said yes to any of the above, Camp Strong4Life may be a good fit for that child.

Georgians trust Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta(R) for expert pediatric care. Experts know that real change happens when everyone is involved and working together, that’s why our doctors, psychologists, exercise physiologists, dietitians and wellness experts created Strong4Life not just for campers, but for the whole family.

Camp kicks-off with a high-energy Family Welcome Weekend (April 26-28 or May 10-12 or June 22, 2013). Then, during the summer, kids return for a week of overnight camp with all the time-honored summer camp experiences all kids love, while learning how to live a healthier life. In the fall, the Family Reunion Weekend brings families and camp experts back together to share and cement lessons learned and lifestyle changes made.
