Summary

In this study, we will address cost barriers to participating in summer programs and hypothesize this will lead to marked improvements in children's obesogenic behaviors and a reduction in excessive, unhealthy weight gain over summer.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

1st through 3rd grade students in the participating schools.

Exclusion Criteria

The only exclusion criteria will be the diagnosis of an intellectual disability, such as:

Autism Spectrum Disorder Down Syndrome Fragile X Fetal Alcohol and/or a physical disability, such as wheelchair use

This decision was made because of the added resources required to evaluate these children, as well as the inability to sample enough of these children to adequately draw conclusions.

No other exclusion criteria will be used.
