I don't think it will work.
The kids that go there may lose weight and feel good about themselves. Hell, they may even come home and stick to their diet and work-out routines for a few months perhaps even years...
The bottom line is that it comes down to the individual. It seems that most of these kids have went to summer fat camps and other programs, and while they lose weight they don't keep it off b/c they can't control themselves at home when no one is watching.
I think we should follow the lead of some European countries in this. Tax food that is bad for you. Heavily. Make larger size clothes more expensive. Make sure that the healthcare premiums for obese people is more expensive. Maybe 'punishing' them will work.
