    Abstract
    Teenage obesity is an increasing concern throughout the world. Providers and communities need to engage in programs that address this concern. Childhood obesity often precedes obesity throughout the entire lifespan. Healthy People 2030 encourages the reduction of sugary beverages among children ages 2-18 and suggests an increase in physical activity for the population. This project sought to provide an avenue for teens to make a life-long impact on their overall health by changing diet, increasing exercise and developing a rapport with their healthcare team. Participants were invited to join a six-week program through zoom, where educational sessions were provided regarding healthy eating, nutrition, and exercise. Although the project had limited participation, changes were observed by the participants; therefore, an online fit camp program is an option for participants to gain insight and the tools necessary to change the trajectory of their health. A program such as this also allows for collaboration among various disciplines to enhance patient care while addressing the obesity problem in local communities as well as nationally.
