This article presents a school-based summer camp called the Get FIT program. Students in Eagle Pass, Texas, go to summer camp to learn how to eat better, play harder, and make smarter decisions about their health. This article also presents an experience of an eleven-year-old child who was once "real fat." The child improved his eating habits after he and his mom joined the weekly Get FIT program. Furthermore, the author states, that school district officials in this small but sprawling city right next to the U.S.-Mexican border have good reason to help sponsor the program.
