Wellspring Hawaii is the world’s most effective fitness and weight loss program in paradise. With lush rain forests, diverse marine life, active volcanoes and world renowned surf, Hawaii is a unique experience for all. Young men and women ages 13-18 from Asia, Australia, and North America convene with experienced staff for a summer of success and memories to last a lifetime. Campers master the skills necessary for long term weight control while participating in an array of fun and exciting activities as diverse as Hawaii itself.

Surfing, climbing, hiking, sea kayaking, snorkeling, and a range of team sports and aerobics classes are just a few of the activities that campers enjoy while gaining an appreciation of an active lifestyle. The beautiful scenery surrounding our comfortable base camp, as well as the environment created when we all commit to weight loss and long-term weight control, ensure a summer that will never be forgotten.

Located on the slopes of Mauna Kea, our home in the islands is The Tara Center – a gorgeous retreat situated at 1,500 ft overlooking the ocean and the daily sunrise over the Pacific. On 40 rolling acres, we will enjoy a river with waterfalls and swimming hole. With the perfect base camp, we are perfectly positioned to launch adventures for exploring the amazing island sights by land and sea.

Wellspring Hawaii is a focused program with a staff of professionals dedicated to the success of our campers. The friendships and memories formed at Wellspring Hawaii will last a lifetime, as will the lifestyle changes we all will make.

Attending Wellspring Hawaii for a four-week or the full eight-week session is a path to successful weight loss and weight control.

Sessions run June 22 - July 19 and July 20 - August 16.
