Quality Care from Wellspring Professionals

Traditional weight loss camps for kids and teens operate only during the summer, relying largely on high school and college students as staff, including many former campers who return each summer to re-lose weight themselves.

Wellspring Camps

In contrast, Wellspring Camps are the weight loss camps of Wellspring- the world's leading weight loss programs for children, adolescents and adults.  In addition to Wellspring Camps, Wellspring operates many year-round programs employing full time, experienced staff, including Wellspring Academies and Wellspring Fit Clubs.  As a result, Wellspring employs over 100 professionals year-round, including researchers, psychologists, social workers, exercise physiologists, personal trainers, dietitians, nutritionists, and a wide range of instructors and coaches.

Wellspring Camps staff

All Wellspring Camps staff meet the following criteria:

"I choose to work at Wellspring because it's incredible to see kids make so much progress in their lives in such a short amount of time."
-Lamar Lewis, LCSW, Clinical Director, Wellspring Adventure Camp

All Wellspring staff are specially trained to manage the unique environment of a Wellspring program.  This entails learning how to meet the needs of campers with different fitness levels (including those who have been inactive for some time), encouraging every camper to work up to his or her potential, celebrating the many milestones achieved by our campers, and helping campers to work through their fears of new situations or challenges.

Wellspring Camps Staff

And Wellspring staff know how to help campers have a fantastic summer. Wellspring staff are high-energy individuals who create an atmosphere of positive summer camp fun.

"The counselors were amazing; they helped me so much and I lost more than I asked for! I know it sounds cheesy, but this was the best decision of my life."
-Sarah O., Bellevue, WA, Wellspring La Jolla Camper

With 11 summer programs internationally, as well as boarding schools and after-school clubs, Wellspring attracts the leading professionals in a range of fields related to weight loss.
