Fun Activities to Continue at Home

Wellspring Florida campers enjoy a wide variety of indoor and outdoor activities. Our goal is to help you find the activities that you enjoy, so that you’ll build the skills and confidence you need to continue with those activities at home. Whether you currently enjoy being active, or haven’t been active in a while and need some help rediscovering how much fun it is to get moving, Wellspring Florida has a range of activities that will make for a fun and exciting summer.

The environment at Wellspring Florida is one of mutual support and respect. Counselors and coaches are chosen for their commitment to maintaining a supportive and fun-loving atmosphere for all campers. All Wellspring Florida staff are trained to work with a wide range of experience levels, making sure that all campers are safe and having a great time, no matter how much experience they have with a given activity. The result is that campers gain the confidence and skills they need to enjoy group sports and fitness activities.

And a summer spent in the great vacation destination of Central Florida wouldn't be complete without trips to local attractions. Kennedy Space Center, Disney World and Universal Studios are all planned trips for Summer 2011.

"There were opportunities to push yourself and staff still taught all the basics and helped every camper individually."

-Taylor L., Fort Lauderdale, FL, Wellspring Florida Camper

Group Sports and Fitness Activities

On campus, a variety of team sports are learned and played in the air-conditioned gymnasia and outdoor playing fields, including basketball, soccer, kickball, and tennis. Swimming activities, fitness classes, relay races, and water games take place in the pools. The fitness center is a hotspot for strength training, yoga, and aerobics classes.

Outdoor Adventure

Given our ideal location on the Atlantic Coast, we frequently venture off-campus to enjoy the recreation areas that attract so many tourists to our region. Trips to the beach for surfing, swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking are regular events for Wellspring Florida campers.

Attainable Activity Goals

This wide variety of activities plays a significant role in the rapid and dramatic weight loss that occurs at Wellspring Florida. And campers learn how to maintain and monitor their activity level so that they can continue this new lifestyle at home. The initial goal is to reach at least 10,000 steps per day, and that increases as campers become more fit and rise up the Wellspring Level System. This simple system of fun activities, self-monitoring, and rewarding active participation helps campers increase confidence, greatly improve their fitness, and fosters an innate love of activity that paves the way for a lifelong healthy lifestyle.
