Camp Kaizen is a non-profit fitness and wellness summer camp for overweight young girls. The purpose of the five-week camp is to provide campers between the ages of 9 and 14 with expert medical, nutritional, physical and psychosocial advice and training needed to become healthier individuals for a lifetime.

An important component of the program is to provide continuing education and support after camp to encourage and reinforce the healthy changes made during each child's stay at Camp Kaizen.

The concept is simple...take a group of campers who are overweight and motivated and bring them back to what summer camp was like in the 1950's. This means no computers, video games, cell phones, iPods, and no fast food. Just weeks of fresh air, hiking, biking, swimming, arts and crafts, talent shows, etiquette classes, campfires, community service, and good old-fashioned games like kick-the-can.
