Should I be concerned about my son's weight loss after his return from summer camp?

Answer 1

There is usually little need to be worried. Traditional summer camps offer a host of activities that require children be more physically active than they are during the schoolyear, so some weight loss is expected. If your son is still a growing boy, and loses more than 15lbs within 3 months there might be reason for concern. But generally no, weight loss over summer camp is expected.
