Wellspring Camps

Wellspring Camps. Amazingly Fun. Remarkably Effective.

Wellspring Camps are the most fun, effective and affordable summer programs for weight loss.  The magazine Consumers Digest reviewed weight loss camps in its February 2007 issue and rated Wellspring the best weight loss camps.

Campers at Wellspring programs achieve average weight loss of 4lbs. per week. More importantly, Wellspring campers not only maintain this weight loss after returning home from camp, they go on to lose more weight! In evaluations that occurred 6-9 months after the conclusion of camp in 2004, 2005 and 2006 Wellspring campers continued to lose weight after the end of camp, averaging 5 - 8 lbs. of additional weight-loss.

This summer, choose from twelve Wellspring programs with locations in the United States, Canada, and the UK.
