Camp Flab-Away is a fat camp for overweight boys which several prominent citizens of Springfield attended as youths. It is located near Camp Land-A-Man and Camp See-A-Tree.

History
Typical of weight reduction camps, Camp Flab-Away's goal is for its attendees to lose weight via a program of diet, exercise and discipline. While some fat camps have elaborate security measures, Camp Flab-Away appears to have no security arrangements beyond a fence and a gate. Camp Counselor Bill boasted that for its attendees, the camp was virtually escape-proof, as the only way out (the gate) was located "up a gentle slope".
Homer Simpson also attended Camp Flab-Away, albeit by accident. He was actually attending Camp See-A-Tree and had had a date with Marge[1] (who was attending Camp Land-A-Man), during which they shared their first kiss and planned to meet again the next night. Heading back to camp from the date, Homer was so distracted that he walked off a cliff and fell into the lake. The next morning, he washed up on the shore next to Camp Flab-Away, where Bill "recruited" him. Homer protested that he didn't belong at a fat camp, but Bill contradicted him: "Your boy bosoms tell a different tale!" Homer ended up on the same diet and exercise regimen as the other attendees, doing pushups with Quimby, Wiggum and Comic Book Guy and later being put into a vibrating belt exercise machine. Homer again protested that he had to go because he had a date, but Bill didn't believe him, sarcastically retorting, "Yeah, you've got a date -- with a skinless chicken breast."
In spite of Counselor Bill's boast about the fat camp being escape-proof, Homer was able to escape the next day. Comic Book Guy collapsed during a sit-up session, and while Bill was distracted attending to him, Homer saw a scale repair company's truck about to leave the camp and made a dash up the hill after it. Homer ran out of breath twice, but first motivated by the thought that "Love conquers all!" and then scared by a rattlesnake, he caught up to the truck, leaped into the back, and rode away to freedom.
