Teens Want Excitement During Family Vacations


A survey of teens and their parents found that the majority want to have "adventure" on their vacation. About 78% of the teens want an experience that will give them "bragging rights" among their friends, such as swimming with dolphins, meeting celebrities, or exploring a new place.

The majority of parents report that they would join their teens in such activities. More than 80% of the parents said their children have some or a lot of influence in deciding what kind of vacation the family will take.

Only 16% of the teens said they want to play video games on their vacations.

Harris Interactive surveyed 1,076 children ages 8 to 17 years old, and 2,407 adults in April 2007 in behalf of the Anheuser-Busch Adventures Parks. This company operates Discovery Cove, Sea World, and other amusement centers.

Wellspring Family CampsWellspring Family Camp is America's first weight loss camp for families. Children ages 5-13 attend Family Camp accompanied by one or more parents for either a two-week session or an intensive six-day session. Together, families lose weight while having a great time and gaining the skills required for long-term weight control, whether you are the adult or the child. These skills include a greater understanding of the causes of weight loss and weight gain, improved child management skills, better stress management skills, and an increased repertoire of child-friendly meals and snacks that work well for weight controllers of all ages.
