Camp Jump Start At Living Well Village Gave Us The Experience

Camp Jump Start was founded in 2003 by registered nurse Jean Huelsing and her family. This camp has revolutionized weight loss camps for kids with health professional designed programs and licensed professionals teaching on-site. The program is holistic, addressing the individual needs of each child. Successful outcomes for these children and families have been well-documented in consumer magazines and scientific articles, and the camp has been recognized by letters of support from institutions such as the National Institutes of Health and Washington University School of Medicine. Camp Jump Start was named a “best practice” by the Cooper Institute and by the National Initiative for Children’s Healthcare Quality. Camp Jump Start is positioned as an expert in the field for the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity. Yet, Camp Jump Start is so much more than a weight loss camp—it is the original health camp for kids, healing minds, bodies and spirits.

With the success of Camp Jump Start, the Huelsings wanted to expand this life-changing program so ALL struggling families could participate no matter their personal circumstances.  The Huelsing Family founded the Living Well Foundation so the community could donate and support those needing assistance.  The need has never been greater and we request everyone to make
Living Well Foundation your charity of choice.  This is the place where magic and miracles occur routinely.  You touch the future by helping a child today.
