AB  - The objective of this study was to describe the 3-year outcomes (2011-2013) from 
      the healthy lunchbox challenge (HLC) delivered in the US-based summer day camps 
      (SDC) (8-10 hours day(-1), 10-11 weeks summer(-1), SDC) to increase children and 
      staff bringing fruit, vegetables and water (FVW) each day. A single group pre- 
      with multiple post-test design was used in four large-scale SDCs serving more 
      than 550 children day(-1) (6-12 years). The percentage of foods/beverages brought 
      by children/staff, staff promotion of healthy eating and children's consumption 
      of FVW was assessed via direct observation over 98 days across three summers. For 
      children (3308 observations), fruit and vegetables (>11-16%) increased; no 
      changes were observed for FVW for staff (398 observations). Reductions in 
      unhealthy foods/beverages (e.g. soda/pop and chips) were observed for both 
      children and staff (minus -10% to 38%). Staff role modeling unhealthy 
      eating/drinking initially decreased but increased by 2013. The majority of 
      children who brought fruit/vegetables consumed them. The HLC can influence the 
      foods/beverages brought to SDCs. Enhancements are required to further increase 
      FVW brought and consumed.
