Wellspring Academy of California, the premier treatment program for adolescent obesity and the first boarding school for weight loss, welcomes students for summer session.

Wellspring Academy is the only summer weight loss program or camp where students earn academic credit.

Lose weight and catch up or accelerate academically this summer at Wellspring Academy.

Academic program for summer session

Students select two core courses in addition to Culinary Arts, Nutrition, and Fitness. Core courses include math, science, language arts, and social studies courses that students would take at their home school. Over a ten-week period, students who complete all coursework can expect to earn a maximum of 20 credits. Wellspring's academic program is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, so credits will transfer back to home schools.

Diet & activity management

Wellspring continues its renowned weight loss program during the summer session with intensive diet and activity management. Students lost an average of 85 pounds during the 2004-05 school year.

Behavioral change

As throughout the year, summer students are assigned a behavioral coach for the rigorous training and cognitive-behavioral program deployed at Wellspring in order to permanently change thinking and behavior regarding diet and physical activity. It is due to Wellspring's focus on behavioral change that results are the best ever recorded for a weight loss program for children or adolescents.
