Camp helps youth achieve a healthy weight

Acolia

GREENVILLE (6/4/08)—If you're not sure if a summer camp can teach lasting lessons on making healthful lifestyle choices, go down Vance Street in Greenville.

Near the end of the street, you might find three brothers and their sister playing basketball. That's one way 15-year-old Acolia Conley is working to maintain her weight and improve her health. She's also eating more vegetables while eating less overall and finding other ways to exercise.

She learned about healthy habits at a camp for girls last year at East Carolina University. This year, ECU is partnering with N.C. State University to provide a healthy lifestyle camp for overweight youth at the Eastern 4-H Center in Columbia from July 27 to Aug. 15 for boys and girls ages 12 to 18.

"It's a healthy way to get fit," Acolia said. "You’ll have fun while getting fit."
