As featured in the Houston Chronicle, on Austin CBS 42 News, and on San Antonio KSAT 12 ABC News, Wellspring Texas is the first and only weight loss camp in Texas and the Southwest, and one of the most effective weight loss programs ever developed. 

Wellspring Texas is the first summer fitness and weight loss program in Texas, and one of the most effective weight loss programs in the world. Boys and girls ages 12-17 join with a professional and highly motivated staff to become long-term weight controllers while having an amazing summer! Rapid and dramatic weight loss is achieved through a fun and comprehensive program set against the incredible backdrop of the Big Hill Country.

Attending a four- or eight-week session is a direct path to successful weight control and memories that will last a lifetime.

Wellspring Texas campers are boys and girls with common goals: lose weight, get in shape, and have fun. Team sports like soccer, football, tennis, and kickball along with swimming, hiking, canoeing, biking, rafting, kayaking, climbing, and aerobics are just some of the activities that campers enjoy in a supportive environment.

Nutrition and culinary classes paired with delicious meals and snacks served in the dining hall guarantee campers will learn to love a range of healthful new foods. These elements, combined with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), create a lifestyle change for continued weight-loss after campers return home.

Set on the sprawling 200-acre campus of San Marcos Baptist Academy outside of Austin, Wellspring Texas campers have the best of both worlds – use of the terrific facilities on campus, as well as access to the magnificent rivers and parks of the Hill Country.

Sessions run June 8 - July 5 and July 6 - August 2.
