Wellspring's Renowned Approach to Fitness and Weight Loss
Wellspring weight loss camps are among the most effective summer camps for overweight young people.
Unlike teen diets, fitness programmes, or day camps, Wellspring provides a comprehensive immersive environment. Wellspring's focus is on changing behaviours—eat a low- fat, low-density diet, take 10,000 steps per day, and self-monitor diet and activity. These lifestyle changes are "held together" thanks to cognitive behavioural therapy provided by Masters and Doctoral level therapists who help students improve goal-setting, frustration tolerance, and stress management skills, while getting to the reasons for poor diet and exercise habits.
After a summer at Wellspring, most students have lost a significant amount of weight—an average of 2.0 kg. per week—and have gained skills and motivation to continue success at home. Perhaps best of all, the impact is more than physical, as students return home with renewed self-confidence and an improved outlook.
Plus, there's no better place to have fun and make new friends this summer!
Wellspring Camps are your best option for losing weight and keeping the weight off. Following the completion of camp, Wellspring students continue self-monitoring diet and activity with our unique online Continuing Care Programme, which lasts until June 2012. Online, students communicate with their Behavioural Coaches and newfound friends from summer. We believe so strongly in the importance of our Continuing Care Programme that we offer a £500 Continuing Care Award for successfully completing the first 3 months of the programme.
