SAN DIEGO, CA (PRWEB) April 16, 2007 -- In honor of National Military Appreciation Month (NMAM), Camp La Jolla is proud to announce 5 Fitness and Health Scholarships for the surviving children of military men and women who have lost their lives as part of the global war on terror.

The purpose of the Camp La Jolla Fitness and Health Scholarship is to honor the sacrifice of the military men and women who lost their lives as part of America's war on terror, and providing support to the surviving military children by giving them an opportunity to participate in a healthy and positive summer fitness program and weight loss camp.

According to Nancy Lenhart, Founder and Executive Director of Camp La Jolla, "Many children use food as a coping mechanism when dealing with grief and loss. A child's grief may be compounded with weight issues and decreased self esteem. At Camp La Jolla, we want to help alleviate the stress grieving military children are coping with. Through the participation in our fitness and weight loss program children will experience the long term benefits of building self esteem, lasting friendships, increased health and fitness benefits, and summer fun in San Diego."
