Weight Loss Camp in New York

Campers are housed in College Park Hall, a spacious and beautiful building that underwent renovations in 2004 to convert it from a hotel into a dormitory. College Park Hall is fully air conditioned and features an indoor fitness facility, bathrooms in every room, private dining facilities reserved for Wellspring, lounges to hang out with your friends during breaks, and is home to the Campus Security Department, which is on duty 24 hours a day.

"The dorms were very luxurious for a camp. The rooms were large and air-conditioned and the campus was well taken care of. The sports fields and weight rooms were clean and also taken care of. This camp is amazing! It made me feel at home, and became my home away from home."

Typically campers have one roommate of the same age, selected by Wellspring Directors and Behavioral Coaches on the basis of likelihood of developing a strong, supportive friendship. Laundry facilities are free and located on every other floor of the dorm. Wellspring provides laundry detergent (and laundry lessons if needed!).
