Fat Camps

There are 14 million obese teenagers in the USA, four times more than 30 years ago. But for those who can afford it, there’s a solution. Camp Pocono, two hours away from New York, is the biggest fat camp in the country. Every summer, 400 children are sent there and put through a tightly regimented routine, a strict diet and gruelling sessions of cardio. We follow some of them during their three month stay there. Will the camp meet all their expectations? There are 14 million obese teenagers in the USA, four times more than 30 years ago. But for those who can afford it, there’s a solution.
