Is fat camp just another term for a starvation camp? Do you think it was healthy?

Is it just one big hook-up spot for overweight teens? I think I watched that special on MTV and it seemed like all so much make out drama.

Healthy yes. There was a nutritionist, certified personal trainers and most of the counselors that I knew were majoring in a health related field. I majored in Health Science/Community Health.

Had to break up a lot make out sessions....there were some counselors who were participating in extra curricular activities if you know what I mean.

I am (a horrible person who is) always amused at seeing fat people do physical activities. Yes, I know I'm going to hell. Did anything fat-related happen that was funny?

Were people ever excluded from activities for being too fat, like horseback riding?

Were you there during the filming of the show, or did you just work at the camp at some point? How realistic is the show's depiction to what you actually saw?

One of the counselors who was a big girl fell down the stairs and tore her meniscus. She was trying to act all tough to a group who was being rowdy then fell.

There was no horse back riding but they had an area which was like Go Ape; zip line, rock wall, swing. One of the junior counselors(who was overweight) exceeded the weight limit and couldn't do "the giant swing"

I was there for the second documentary. I didn't see all the "drama" I worked with the youngest age group of girls. I mean there were the make sessions you saw and had to break up. Showing the kids work out was real not played for the cameras. As mentioned in an above post most of the counselors there majored in a health related field so they really wanted to help out the kids. How they showed weigh in were typical nothing fake about that.
