Wellspring Alumni
Wellspring holds a special place in the hearts of alumni—a place where new challenges were met, new friendships formed, and where the path to a healthy weight was found. If you've previously attended a Wellspring program, we invite you to refresh your commitment to your healthy lifestyle with another amazing summer of fun, friendship and fitness.
The Wellspring Refresh Track
Wellspring Kim first joined us as a camper a few years ago. Since, she has lost 80 lbs. and is working hard to reach her goal of 100 lbs. Follow her journey.
Apply to play a supporting role at camp this summer. For highly motivated leaders.
The special Refresh track at each Wellspring Camp helps alumni build on the knowledge and skills gained during a previous summer with Wellspring. Together with your Behavioral Coach (BC), you will evaluate your progress since Wellspring and structure a program that meets your updated goals for continued weight loss and healthy living.
Refresh campers also help new campers understand the Wellspring Plan and the challenges they'll face in turning their healthy camp lifestyle into a permanent lifestyle. Wellspring Refresh offers all Wellspring alumni:
- Another Great Summer: Many Refresh campers return primarily because they want to spend another summer surrounded by people choosing to live a positive, healthy lifestyle. Many come back because friends from previous summers are returning, or because they're looking forward to making a whole new group of friends. Some try a different Wellspring Camp with a new set of activities and adventures.
- Accelerating Progress: Some Refresh participants succeed in maintaining or losing additional weight after leaving the Academy or Camp, but wish to concentrate on getting closer to a healthy weight range and are confident that Wellspring is the place to do it.
- Recommitting to Healthy Living - More Time to Practice: Wellspring is a safe haven for continued weight loss or maintenance. Knowing that summer can be a risky time for weight gain, many campers return for additional practice in overcoming the biological, cultural and social barriers to permanent change. For alumni who have struggled with their weight following Wellspring, additional practice is very likely to result in improved performance.
Wellspring Mentor and Leadership Team Programs
Wellspring recognizes that sustained weight loss requires commitment and maturity—two qualities that we foster at each camp. We honor our campers' decision to maintain their healthy lifestyle by providing leadership opportunities for select camp alumni.
The Wellspring Mentor Program and Leadership Team are designed to provide an additional level of healthy living immersion for select motivated participants. Alumni who are invited by Camp Directors to serve as mentors or as members of the Leadership Team participate fully in camp activities, but also have the opportunity to act as leaders and role models within the Wellspring community, deepening their commitment to healthy living and weight loss.
