The Wellspring Plan

At Wellspring Camp La Jolla, the level of activity is unparalleled, and so is the weight loss, with campers averaging 4 lbs. of weight loss per week.  And the most exciting part? Over 70% of campers keep the weight off after returning home, making Wellspring Camp La Jolla the perfect summer fitness and weight loss program for those seeking long-term results.

Wellspring Camp La Jolla is not a fat camp or traditional weight loss camp. Instead, Wellspring Camp La Jolla is a complete and integrated program for weight loss and healthy living based on the scientifically-proven Wellspring Plan.
The Wellspring Plan includes:

Diet Management: A delicious daily menu of low-fat entrees and unlimited soup and salad bar. Plus you'll learn to how to shop for, order out, and cook Wellspring-friendly favorites to keep you enjoying your weight loss success at home.

Activity Management: Prepare for a summer of fun and activity like you've never experienced before! At Wellspring Camp La Jolla, you'll enjoy a range of activities at the beach, in the surrounding hills, and in UCSD's state-of-the-art fitness facilities—surfing, hiking, biking, kayaking, Zumba, personal training, aerobics, swimming, soccer, and yoga to name a few. Plus we offer trips to Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, Sea World, and other fun Southern California destinations.

Behavioral Change: Wellspring Camp La Jolla campers are so successful in large part due to our behavioral change program. Campers work with Masters- and Doctoral-level Behavioral Coaches in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) sessions four times per week—twice in group and twice in individual sessions. Participants learn key skills in setting goals, overcoming barriers and managing stress.

Continuing Care: All Wellspring Camp La Jolla campers receive ongoing support through Wellspring's Continuing Care Program until June 1, 2012. And campers who successfully complete the first 3 months of the program earn a $700 Continuing Care Award.

Family Involvement: Our research has shown the importance of family involvement for campers' long-term weight loss success. Therefore we educate and include families throughout the program, including free Family Workshop Weekends, and a $300 Family Workshop Award.
