Canyon Ranch, Julian Krinsky Teach Teens Secret to Healthy Living

Annual Life Enrichment Program for 13- to 17-Year-Olds Runs June 24 to Aug. 4

Imagine an investment in your teen's well-being that doesn't come in the form of the latest must-have video game accessory, exclusive pair of designer jeans or the newest miniscule MP3 player.

Sound impossible? An investment in teens' minds, bodies, spirits and the rest of their lives is a real possibility and can be found in one place, the sixth annual Julian Krinsky/Canyon Ranch Young Adult Summer Program in two-, four- or six-week sessions beginning June 24.

There are more than 100 activities and workshops for teens to choose from, including yoga, rock climbing, hip-hop aerobics, tai-chi, self-defense classes, beauty and image discussions and many other diverse selections, not to mention the best summer program food in the country — easily rivaling the award winning cuisine at Canyon Ranch itself. Attendees customize their daily schedules to focus on individual goals and interests, making the summer program a unique and unrivaled opportunity for teens to build a foundation for a healthy future.

Located on campus at Bryn Mawr College in Philadelphia, 13- to 17-year-old campers not only take part in group activities but also meet for one-on-one training with Canyon Ranch's expert physiologists, who help them develop fun fitness routines. They also consult with Canyon Ranch's acclaimed nutritionists, who introduce them to healthy, delicious eating.

"What makes this program so outstanding is that it helps young adults discover that the choices they make about what they eat and how active they are directly affect their health," said Richard Carmona, M.D., M.P.H., vice chairman of Canyon Ranch and 17th U.S. Surgeon General. "That's the most powerful knowledge we can give young people to help them stay healthier throughout their lives."

It's not your average summer camp — but it's exactly what happens when Canyon Ranch, the world's most celebrated life enhancement company, teams up with the innovative Julian Krinsky Camps & Programs to present a one-of-a-kind, coed healthy living program "for smarter minds and bodies."

Whether teens are athletes interested in improving their performance, fitness buffs seeking challenging workouts or young adults wanting to learn about the mind/body connection, attendees of all skill levels receive personal guidance and the take-home tools they need to foster a lifetime of physical and spiritual health.
