Camp New Heights describes itself as a supportive overnight camp where kids ages 9–17 develop healthy habits, gain confidence, and experience an unforgettable summer. The program states that it is designed to provide the fundamentals for kids and teens to live an active and healthy lifestyle while losing weight in a sustainable manner, and to give campers skills and tools to live and lead an active and healthy lifestyle upon returning home. The camp states that it specializes in healthy weight loss, uses nutrition education rather than starvation, does not use weigh-ins, before-and-after photos, prescribed meals, or strict calorie counting or limits, and that camp is meant to be fun and is not a boot camp. It also states that the 6-week Transformation program is an all-inclusive camp experience and that there are three program offerings: Jumpstart, Developing, and Transformation.
Camp New Heights states that a successful camp experience begins with the staff and that the camp was started because the founders believed there is a gap in the educational system that has pushed exercise and nutrition to the wayside, and that the camp provides campers of all abilities the opportunity to try new things in a judgment-free atmosphere.
The leadership team includes Stephen Bean as Executive Director, JT Thompson as Director of Strength and Conditioning, and Isain M. and Daniel M. as Assistant Directors. Camp leadership are CPR-trained, have years of experience in their field of expertise, and are trained to handle campers at all age levels. Stephen Bean is a former physical education teacher and athletic director who previously worked in the Los Angeles Unified School District and is an avid amateur triathlete and endurance athlete. JT Thompson is a former Division 1 collegiate student-athlete, a Carencro High School graduate who excelled in football, basketball, and track, a 3-time All-Conference and All-Louisiana selection at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, led the conference in interceptions during his sophomore year, set a school record for 100+ tackles in a single season leading all defensive backs, ranked 11th all-time in the school's history for tackles in a single game, gained experience in the NFL, CFL, and AFL, and works as a Director of Sports Performance in South Florida. Isain M. attended Camp New Heights in 2018, made the competitive CIF Division I soccer team at his school, helped lead his team to the CIF Division I tournament, and is pursuing his degree at Mission College. Daniel M. is a Camp New Heights alumnus who attended camp in 2018 and 2019.
One parent, Tanya V., said, “Camp New Heights was an amazing experience for my daughter. Days were full of exciting activities that she had never experienced before. She came home more confident and 15lbs lighter! The staff was wonderful as well. Thank you for helping kids get healthy and strong, it is very important work.”
