This study examined the effects of a school camp program on children's expectations and concerns about transition to junior high school. At the camp, 6th grade children from several elementary ...schools, who were supposed to enter the same junior high school, participated in communication activities and lectures provided by junior high school teachers. A preliminary questionnaire survey was conducted with 180 children to develop a scale to measure expectations and concerns regarding transition to junior high school. Factor analyses indicated that a four-factor model to measure expectations and concerns regarding both academic and social areas showed the best fit, displaying high reliability and validity. Next, main surveys to examine the effects of the school camp were conducted with 155 6th grade children. Participants' expectations and concerns were measured with pre-, post-, and follow-up tests. Results showed that children who wanted to spend school time at the infirmary or in a counseling room increased expectations of new friendships at junior high school. These effects continued after three months.

Obesity is constantly increasing among children. Since treatment for obesity on outpatient bases often fails, we evaluated whether camps may help to improve eating habits. Forty-one children, 21 ...males and 20 females (BMI > 97 degrees percentile, weight excess > 30%, Tanner stage I) agreed to participate to a 8 day camp. After 1-year follow-up, measurements carried out by plicometry, bioelectrical impedance, metabolic and hormonal evaluations, showed a significant reduction of skinfolds, as well as glycemic and insulinemic response to the oral glucose tolerance test. These results suggest that camps may help to improve nutritional and physical education and psychological outcome of obese children.
