Located in the fabled Lake District of Northwest England, Wellspring UK is the first scientifically-based summer weight loss programme in Europe.

Based on a comfortable campus adjacent to Lake District National Park, Wellspring UK welcomes boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 18 years.

Wellspring UK students enjoy both traditional sports and outdoor activities. Our weekly outdoor adventure trips include rock climbing, abseiling, ghyll scrambling, hiking, canoeing, mountain biking and overnight camping. On the modern and well-equipped campus, students enjoy basketball, hockey, football and tennis as well as step aerobics, weight room, circuit training and dance.

The programme is offered for four, six or eight weeks. Last year, students lost over 2 kg. per week, with some students losing as much as 16 and 19 kg.
