Coloma Outdoor Discovery School* (CODS) has provided outstanding outdoor education programs for elementary to high school students throughout Northern California since 1990.

In the year 2004 we added our highly acclaimed and popular Adventure Summer Camp experience for students ages 9 through 13.

Each school year at CODS, we see several thousand students and this has made us very aware of the number of overweight and obese pre-teens and teens. Many of these students have wanted to, but are not able to attend our Summer Camp because of physical and related emotional issues.

We are happy to introduce our new and exciting Adventure FIT Summer Camp experience that will assist teens and pre-teens in not only losing the weight, but learning new healthy habits, attitudes, making friends, and having fun.

Guided by our volunteer advisory board consisting of medical doctors, psychologists, nutritionists, physical fitness coaches, and other professionals, we have carefully created this two-week summer program specifically designed to jump start for overweight youth who desire to make positive life changes — in eating, exercise, weight loss, and thinking patterns. 

Our Adventure FIT Camp is a scientifically based program filled with daily fun-filled activities, motivational goal-setting, behavioral and emotional support, as well as educational workshops. Campers will practice new habits aimed at long-term weight management as well as cementing the critical role of parents and family involvement in the process.
