Camp Jump Start raised the bar for the entire summer weight loss camp industry. We have been independently reviewed by Washington University Medical Centers (one of the top ten ranked in the nation by US News & World Report) Southern Illinois University Medical Center and the Cooper Institute.

Camp Jump Start has won numerous awards and recognition throughout the years, but what matters most to us are the people.  With our program, kids and families have been given a second chance at health and happiness.  Lives have been transformed and lives have been saved.

Although we are not offering in-person camp at this time, we do NOT refer families to other camps, so please do not ask.  

Camp Jump Start is a safe and effective program.  We are known for our integrity and ethical practices. We have no interest in making money from other camps who request us to refer to them.  We have worked with too many kids who failed other in-person camps and hospital programs–those failures are hard to overcome.  We want your child successful the first time.  This is possible when the family is willing to be actively involved and become role models for their child.  Everyone in the family will benefit when doing this together!
