The Wellspring Camps Program

Wellspring offers a comprehensive weight loss and fitness program, which is based on scientific research on long-term weight control and dramatic weight loss. The Wellspring Plan includes continuing care, family involvement, lifestyle change, activity management, and low fat diet. A low density and low fat diet is the optimal diet to counter the environmental and biological factors. Campers are taught how to cook the foods they have at camp, how to order foods in restaurants, and how to shop at grocery stores. Campers are also made to achieve more than 10,000 steps everyday through sports, games, weight loss activities, hikes, and walks.

In Wellspring, campers are helped to keep the weight lost at camp by encouraging permanent changes in activity and diet. Behavioral Coaches are employed to coach every camper actively in order to achieve long-term weight loss and weight control. Family involvement is important in the success of the Wellspring camp therefore they are asked to attend Family Workshops and participate in the Continuing Care program where parents learn how to have a healthy lifestyle. Behavioral Coaches monitor the campers for the continuing care program, which lasts for one year where they communicate online with campers, and helps in self-monitoring, goal setting, and weigh-ins.
