Description
Meghan Savidge and co-authors report a 2025 trial of free summer day camp and child diet. In summer, many low income children lose access to free school meals. Day camps can supply sound meals and a set routine, but many families cannot pay the fees.
The trial enrolled 422 parent child pairs from low income schools over three years. Children aged about eight were split by chance into free camp for 8 to 10 weeks or a summer as usual. Parents kept daily diaries for two weeks in school season and two in summer, logging sound and poor foods and drinks. Models then compared summer intake between groups, keyed to the school season base line.
