Wellspring Adventure Camp North Carolina was established by the world’s top researchers in weight loss as the most exciting and most effective weight loss program for children and young adolescents ages 11-18.
Wellspring Adventure campers learn to love being active through adventure activities like whitewater rafting, rock climbing and rappelling – much more exciting than typical summer camp activities.
Wellspring Adventure Camp’s results are unparalleled, with campers in 2004-2009 averaging 4 lbs. of weight loss per week.

Remarkably, Wellspring Adventure campers continued to lose weight six months after the end of camp. Specifically, campers averaged 5-8 pounds of additional weight loss in the six months after camp. And 70% of campers either maintained or continued to lose weight in the six to nine months after camp. No other weight loss camp has ever continually reported these results year after year.

Wellspring Adventure Camp is among the most effective summer camps for weight loss because it is based on what scientific research demonstrates actually works for weight loss and long-term weight control. In addition, there is a strong family component to the program. Families are asked to participate in a two-day workshop for training and to develop a transition plan for home. Families also have the ability to participate in a full week of camp at the end of the summer. Finally, Wellspring Adventure Camp’s Continuing Care program is an intensive and advanced support program for after campers return home.
Wellspring Adventure Camp is an investment in your child’s health and future. It provides an opportunity to get in shape and learn the skills needed to return to a healthy weight, all while partaking in adventure and fun with friends to last a lifetime. What are you waiting for?
