CAMP

OBÓZ

The youngest are 9, the eldest 17. All of them went on holiday with just one goal – to survive. Their parents had other goals in mind; they sent their kids to a slimming and fitness camp to teach them discipline and strong will. Tutors do what they can to fulfil their tasks, yet children become stressed out by the imposed regime of diet and exercise, which increases their food cravings rather than suppressing them.
