Investing today for a better future

While the Wellspring Camp was a significant expenditure for our family, we viewed the camp as an investment into our daughter's future.  The results have proven to be worth the money as Beth is maintaining the weight loss and her quality of life has greatly improved.  From school work, to athletics, to the joy of clothes shopping with her friends, Beth is much happier now than before attending the camp.

Wellspring has been a life-changing experience for our family! My daughter and I were getting very discouraged after trying many options (Nutritionists, Counseling, Personal Trainers, Naturopath and Doctors). We were certain that something was medically wrong – maybe her thyroid was not functioning properly.

Although it was a great deal of money – it was an investment in our daughter’s health! We had to be creative in finding the money to enroll our daughter – it was worth every penny!

Wellspring Camps are an investment in your child’s future. On average, Wellspring campers lose 4 lbs per week and 70% maintain or continue losing weight at home, a remarkable success rate unmatched by any weight loss program for any age.

Why wait to make a change?

Studies show nearly 90% of overweight teens become obese adults, bringing a heightened risk of medical, social, emotional, and financial complications.  You are likely already seeing the emotional impact of excess weight — lower self-esteem, little motivation, social isolation, perhaps behavioral issues in school or at home. Studies have shown that overweight children are less likely to attend or graduate from college, and more likely to occupy a lower socioeconomic status as adults.

One recent study revealed that obese adolescents reported outlooks similar only to adolescents diagnosed with cancer.

If you are wondering if you or your child has a weight issue that should be addressed, we suggest you try the Wellspring BMI Calculator.

Obesity Costs a Person $550,000

According to research conducted by Wellspring, it costs a person more than half a million dollars over the course of their lifetime to remain obese.  These costs are due to shortened life span, reduced earnings due to discrimination, psychological effects, and increased medical costs.

If you don’t choose Wellspring’s leading weight loss programs for your child, please consider some course of action.
