Wellspring provides you with the opportunity of a lifetime - to lose weight permanently while having the best summer ever. You can find out what a Typical Day at Wellspring is like, or explore our Programs and Locations for specific details on what to expect at each camp. You can also chat now with admissions to have additional questions answered.

Wellspring's commitment is to introduce you to so many fun fitness activities that you'll have plenty of options for staying active when you return home. Many of our campers have never tried the activities we offer at camp and are nervous about taking on the challenge. No problem! Our highly-trained staff will work with you to make sure that your experience is positive and fun, even if you're not usually very active at home.

Different Activities and Trips at Every Wellspring Camp

While many activities are common to all Wellspring Weight Loss Camps, each location takes advantage of its local surroundings to create a truly unique summer of outdoor adventure and on-campus fitness activities. Plus every camp offers an array of special trips throughout the summer. Make sure and check out the trip dates when you schedule your Wellspring Camp session so you don't miss out!

Attainable (and Sustainable!) Activity Goals

"[Since Mike returned from camp] we walk everyday together and Mike runs on the treadmill every day. Yes I said run. It's amazing. He's always got a smile on his face and a spring in his step. He also plays frisbee golf with his brother and sister, and has lost a total of 37 pounds."

-Jackie S., Stettin, WI, mom of Wellspring Wisconsin Camper

Because we're so active at Wellspring, we like to track just how active we are. That's why at all Wellspring programs we all wear a pedometer with a goal of 10,000 steps per day. Many Wellspring Campers get 20,000 steps a day or more.

Why do we set a daily goal? Because when you're trying to lose weight, you need simple, measurable goals. We want you to experience how good it feels to achieve and exceed daily goals, and to keep on meeting them once you return home. So you can expect to be trained in how to self-monitor your daily activity and how to make setting and reaching goals a part of your daily life.

You'll be amazed at your level of activity and weight loss, and at how much fun you're having. Great times await you at Wellspring Camps!
