Camp NEW You is not just about the kids! Without the support of a parent or guardian, youth have a difficult time changing their lifestyle habits. That's why they need a parent to support their efforts, not only at camp, but especially when they return home. Parents can also learn important health lessons that they can apply in the home environment, and with their own personal health behaviors.

During the residential camp time, parents (at least one) are required to attend one weekend, where they have the opportunity to take part in specialized sessions with nutrition and activity professionals. These sessions cover important focus points that help parents evaluate their home environment and learn ways to help make that environment more conducive to a healthy lifestyle. Parents also attend each of the three follow-up weekends with their child.
