Our Core Values

Safety
We understand and value the trust that parents bestow on us with the care of their child. We value that trust and take our responsibility seriously. Safety is our foremost concern in all we do at camp. Our summer and residential staff are carefully screened, trained, and dedicated to a high level of safety in all activities. Our facilities and outdoor equipment are tested, maintained, and certified. Our team includes specialists with expertise in all aspects of weight management including nutrition, behavior therapy, psychology, pediatric medicine and exercise physiology. Kamp K'aana is safe!

Fun:
Recreation is an important part of K'aana. Kamp encourages campers to try new activities and reach beyond themselves to gain new experiences. Camp Cho-Yeh is host to Kamp K'aana. Cho-Yeh, located just 90 minutes from Houston in the lush Piney Woods of East Texas, is the fabulous setting for this two-week summer camp program. Campers participate in amazing activities including swimming, water slides, blobbing, canoeing, pedal karts, horseback riding, ropes courses, weight training, field activities, frisbee golf and more. In addition to learning how to stay active, children gain a wealth of knowledge about making healthy eating choices. Kamp Kaana is fun!

Personal Growth
Personal growth often comes through encouragement, and encouragement comes through our trained college summer staff who participate in activities with the campers. Pre- and post-camp assessments help campers move closer to healthy body weight while at the same time providing encouragement when they succeed in meeting their goals. Parent sessions and three follow-up reunions provide additional, ongoing support to both children and their parents that assist in making the lifestyle changes necessary to achieve their ideal weight range. At K'aana, we believe that partnering with our parents to provide a foundation for healthy living is essential. Kaana means personal growth!
