Can I visit my child while at Wellspring Florida?
Yes! And in fact, family involvement is strongly encouraged. Visiting weekends for Wellspring Florida occur on the Family Workshop weekends only; dates are provided in the enrollment packet. It is highly recommended that you attend a Family Workshop so that you can learn how best to support your child once he or she returns home. Once you have attended one of our Family Workshops, you may use a subsequent workshop weekend solely for visitation with your child if you'd like. Your child may leave campus with you during these visitation hours. Your child may also go to your hotel with you in the evenings during Family Workshop weekends if you'd like.
In addition, you receive a $300 Family Workshop Award if at least one family member attends a Workshop. That's how important your participation is.
How many roommates do campers have? And how are rooms configured?
Every camper at Wellspring Florida has a private room in an apartment style setting. This means four campers share a ‘living room' and bathroom, then each camper has a private room off the living room.
What if my child has never participated in the types of activities offered at Wellspring Florida?
At Wellspring Florida, we are accustomed to catering to all skill and fitness levels in our activities. We also operate on a Challenge by Choice philosophy. Our goal is to encourage enjoyment of these activities both at camp and after returning home. If your child is nervous about a certain activity, rest assured that our professional team of staff will help your child to reach his or her goals, at his or her own speed.
What is the laundry procedure?
Laundry facilities are available on campus, and each camper will have the opportunity to do laundry each week.
