***From our perspective---we, along with our advisors, agree that surgical interventions for weight loss have not been studied enough in children. We do not feel camp an appropriate placement for ANY child that has had these surgical interventions. These are the kids weight loss advisors for Camp Jump Start. These professionals advise our Summer Camp Faculty. There are other licensed health professionals on-site during the summer as well.
