BACKGROUND ON WELLSPRING CAMPS
Wellspring Camps are the most fun, effective and affordable summer programs for weight loss.  Campers at Wellspring programs achieve average weight loss of 4-5 lbs. per week.  More important, Wellspring campers not only maintain this weight loss after returning home from camp, they go on to lose more weight!  In evaluations that occurred 6-12 months after the conclusion of camp in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007, Wellspring campers continued to lose weight after the end of camp, averaging 5 - 8 lbs. of additional weight-loss.

If your child is struggling with weight, please spend some time reviewing the Wellspring program by clicking the website link above and begin a conversation with your child.  We know from experience that many adolescents and young adults are resistant to the idea of spending valuable summer vacation time on a focused attempt (typically, yet another attempt) to lose weight.  We also know that the earlier you raise the issue and get your child thinking about the opportunity to solve his or her weight problem once and for all, the more likely they will be amenable to the idea.

Because Wellspring is therapeutic – not simply weight loss – families are typically successful in recouping a significant portion of tuition from their health insurance.  Families are also eligible for Wellspring's loan program, which allow most families to afford Wellspring by spreading the cost over a longer period of time.
