The program emphasizes three elements: healthy eating, regular physical activity and behavior change. To be eligible for the program, each child must be between the ages of 7 and 13, have a body mass index greater than or equal to the 95th percentile, be cleared by a medical provider, and accompanied by a parent or caregiver at every session.
