About Camp Pennbrook- we’re not just a weight loss camp!

Camp Pennbrook is an all girls wellness, health and fitness summer camp located on the beautiful campus of Arcadia University in Glenside, Pennsylvania near Bucks County, Pennsylvania. We are not just a weight loss camp for kids. Our summer camp is like a sisterhood — both parents and campers feel more comfortable in our supportive environment.

Camp Pennbrook offers girls several different program components:

  • fun
  • fitness

Campers at our wellness camp for kids will make friendships that last a lifetime. At Camp Pennbrook we offer a supportive nurturing environment so our girls thrive and succeed in their weight loss journey. By the time summer is over, our campers leave with a new found confidence, higher self-esteem and new lifetime friends. Our camp trips are unbelievable and our food and nutrition program is one of the best in the industry at our fitness and health camp. We are much more than a weight loss camp for kids.

  • 1 hour from Philadelphia
  • 24-hour security on campus

Camp Pennbrook is more than just a summer weight loss camp. Camp Pennbrook is a unique learning experience–it is our job to make sure that every camper succeeds at our wellness, fitness and health camp for kids. 

Our weekly rap sessions with Camp Pennbrook’s dietician afford your daughter an opportunity to learn a realistic eating program that she will understand and be motivated to continue with after camp is over. Our girls learn about menu planning, and how to eat 3 healthy, nutritious portion-controlled meals and two snacks daily. You can see some of our sample menus here. They can then apply them to real-life situations like dining out, healthy snacking at home and at school, along with tips for healthy holiday eating. These nutrition tips for kids stay with them forever. 

In addition to traditional activities, Camp Pennbrook offers amazing summer camp off-campus excursions. These optional trips serve as well-earned rewards for the girl’s hard work and dedication to their weight loss camp journey. Camp Pennbrook’s trips can include NYC Broadway shows, concerts by the biggest artists in Philly or NYC, MLB Baseball games, or shopping at some of the biggest malls in the country. Our in-camp activities include fun and engaging programs including most land, water and cultural activities, along with daily cardio and aerobic classes, including Zumba, a favorite of the girls, so that they can get into the best shape of their lives during out weight loss summer camp. 

Each of these weekly topics is discussed and catered to the camper’s specific needs along with their age and grade. More importantly, camper concerns are highlighted and each girls receive a one on one nutritional counseling session and is given a going-home packet complete with the camp’s menus, recipes and exercise tips. What separates us from the other girls camps is the personal follow-up each girl receives. Every camper receives a monthly follow-up call for 6 months after camp from one of our staff to ensure the girls stay motivated in their weight loss journey as well as having any questions answered about any issues they’re experiencing.
