I often try to find unique camps each year to write about, leaving behind your traditional summer camps to find one that is cutting edge.This camp is a spin-off of the Canyon Ranch for Adults resorts that can be found nationwide.  The thinking behind it is why wait to educate people until they are adults about nutrition and health, why not give them that advantage as youths.  That is the beauty of a teen fitness camp, if you start at a young age doing the right thing – you are more likely to keep it up when you are an adult. 

But instead of being your usual teen fitness camp, this program takes things a step further offering over 100 different classes for the teens to choose from.  Rock climbing, pilates, basketball, spinning, tai-chi, and yoga are just a small sampling of what is offered.  Also, keeping in tune with the teen fitness camp prerogative, the meals are first rate in a balanced diet.  Teens are taught to eat right and how they can take what they have learned over the summer and apply it to their everyday lives the rest of the year.

To find out what kind of an impact this camp has had on teen’s lives, you only have to see how many students keep coming back year after year.  Students who have attended this camp rave about it once they are induced to talk about their experience at this unique teen fitness camp.  The best way to judge a camp is to see what the kids who attended it have to say about it. 

It may seem that this teen fitness camp is just for girls, but recently they have had a surprising growth in the boys attending.  This is due to the great program they have for sculpting male athletes into prime condition.  No matter what sport you are playing, they give you the exercises, diet, and mindset to give you a complete advantage over your opponents.

Canyon Ranch for Teens is also doing its best to stay in touch with the young generation.  They have a Facebook group that allows the previous students to keep in touch with each other and another group for students attending this summer.  This allows the students to get to know each other before the summer starts and feel more comfortable from the first day.
