Summer Day Camps for Childhood Obesity in Low-Income Households
This study is looking at whether referring children from low-income families to summer day camps can help treat obesity. It's for children aged 5 to 11 who are overweight or obese, attend a pediatric clinic, and have Medicaid insurance. The study will measure changes in your child's height and weight before the summer camp and then again three months after the camp ends. The goal is to see if attending a Boys and Girls Club of Central Florida summer day camp is a practical and acceptable way to help children manage their weight. The current status of this study is unclear.

What this trial measures
- Height in centimetersBaseline (pre-summer) and Follow-Up (3 months post-baseline)
Height in centimeters will be captured via a stadiometer at baseline (pre-summer) and follow-up (post summer) approximately 12 weeks apart for children in the treatment and control group. Height and weight measurements will be aggregated to arrive at Body Mass Index (BMI) in kg/m\^2.
- Weight in kilogramsBaseline (pre-summer) and Follow-Up (3 months post-baseline)
Weight in kilograms will be captured via the Tanita C-300 scale at baseline (pre-summer) and follow-up (post summer) approximately 12 weeks apart for children in the treatment and control group. Height and weight measurements will be aggregated to arrive at Body Mass Index (BMI) in kg/m\^2.
