Wellspring Campers are Just Like You
At Wellspring, you'll meet people who are just like you—kids, teens and young adults trying to lose weight, get in shape, have a great summer, and make lifelong friends. Imagine a summer surrounded by people your age, all working together toward a common goal, supporting each other through new challenges, and celebrating one another's milestones.
That's a summer at Wellspring.
Admissions Criteria
AGE: Students must be between the ages of 11-24 years old.
WEIGHT: Applicants must be at least 9 kg. overweight and have been struggling with their weight for at least one year.
ATTITUDE: Campers must view Wellspring as an opportunity. Wellspring will not admit campers who are clearly opposed to attending, or who have a history of oppositional behaviour or violence.
MEDICAL: Wellspring will not admit campers with medical issues requiring hospitalisation.
Admissions Process
Step 1: Submit a Wellspring Camps Application. This may be done over the phone by calling 020 3014 8921 or (from the US) 866.864.0808. You can also complete the process online by filling out our Wellspring Online Application.
A non-refundable deposit is due at the time of application, and varies according to course length:
- 3 weeks: £400
- 6 weeks: £600
- 9 weeks: £800
The deposit is non-refundable, unless the application is not accepted because student does not meet Admission Criteria (see Admission Criteria, above).
Step 2: Complete an Enrolment Package. Following receipt of your completed application and deposit, you will receive an enrolment package via email, which includes questions for parents, for the prospective student, and for the family physician. Families are asked to complete the package at least 8 days before the start of camp. Campers are not officially admitted to Wellspring until all forms in the enrolment package have been received.
Step 3: Pay the Tuition Balance. The remaining balance of tuition is due at least 8 days before the session start date. Payment can be made by credit card, check or money order, or wire transfer. Tuition and listed fees include all expenses while the camper remains at Wellspring, with the following limited exceptions:
- Any required medical treatment while your child is at camp
- Airport pick-up/drop-off fee: £70 each way from Heathrow, £20 each way from Exeter
Cancellation Insurance
Families may purchase cancellation insurance from Wellspring for an additional 15% of the tuition cost. Families who purchase insurance will be entitled to a pro rata tuition refund for all days missed. Cancellation insurance may be selected at the time tuition is paid (at least 8 days before the session start date).
Dismissal: Wellspring UK reserves the right to remove any student whose health or actions create a safety risk, impedes the operation of the camp, or puts at risk the safety of other students. Wellspring UK is a safe environment. Violence and threats of violence are not tolerated and are causes for dismissal. Other dismissal offenses include the use of alcohol, tobacco and illegal use of drugs. Another reason for dismissal is refusal to participate in key elements of the programme, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy and morning walks. Attending Wellspring UK must be viewed as an opportunity, not as an unfair burden.
