Campers and parents of youth campers reported on social and health goal attainment, SB-related skill mastery, and social functioning pre-camp and one month post-camp. Four months post-camp, campers were randomized to complete a booster session (N\u2009=\u200943) or treatment as usual (N\u2009=\u200935). Twenty-two campers completed a booster session. Eight months post-camp, all campers, regardless of randomization group, completed follow-up questionnaires. Mixed-effects growth curves were estimated to examine change in study outcomes across time.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Social and health goal attainment increased across the study timepoints.
