Wellspring campers are just like you

Wellspring Campers meet people who are just like them—trying to lose weight, get in shape, have a great summer, and make lifelong friends.  The similarities in goals, the common mission to lose weight, and the comfort of knowing you are with others just like you are some of the many reasons to choose Wellspring Camps.

Admission Criteria

WEIGHT: Applicants ages 11+ must be at least 20 pounds overweight and have been struggling with their weight for at least one year. Campers ages 5-10 will be admitted to Wellspring Family Camp if they are overweight.

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 behavior or violence.

A deposit ($750 for four-weeks, $1,200 for six-weeks, $1,500 for eight-, ten- or twelve-weeks) is due with the application, following which families are asked to complete an enrollment package, which includes questions for parents, for the prospective camper, and for the family physician. The deposit is non-refundable, unless the application is not accepted (see Admission Criteria, above). Campers are admitted to Wellspring after all forms in the enrollment package have been received.

Note: Some Wellspring Camps are expected to fill up early, as early as March 2010.

Payment
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 student loan disbursement. Tuition and listed fees include all expenses while the camper remains at Wellspring, with the exception of any required medical treatment.

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).
