What's your favorite memory from camp last year?

Our huge group activities we did in the evenings were so fun and hilarious. It mixed exercise with fun without even realising it. Nice way to end the evening and it brought everyone together, which was also nice.

What are you most looking forward to at camp this summer?

When I get back to camp I'm looking forward to losing more weight and gaining fitness, plus helping and encouraging others to lose weight while having fun.

What has changed about you because of Wellspring?

Wellspring has not only helped me with my weight. I've gained so much confidence, it has also got me singing in front of people. Where as before I was too shy to even attempt to sing, but from the confidence boost I've managed to step up to singing in front of people. And now I'm in a show! THANK YOU!!
