A Great Investment on a

Low Potential Monthly Cost*
	4-week session	4-months w/ fee
Tuition	$6,490	$26,000
Insurance Reimbursement	$1,500	$5,500
Monthly Cost w/ Loan	$110	$271
* Potential reimbursement differs depending on family insurance, but many families are reimbursed 1/4 of the price of tuition by insurance. Contact your own insurance to determine the amount you will be reimbursed.

There are several reasons why Wellspring Adventure Camp is an affordable investment in your child’s health and future.

 

Reimbursement of Fees from Insurance

Thanks to the clinical component of Wellspring, many Wellspring families are successful in recouping approximately 1/4 to 1/3rd of camp tuition from their health insurance.

Typically, families with PPO plans are more likely to receive reimbursement for a portion of the clinical component of the program (as much as $2,000 for a 4-week session, and $3,500 for an 8-week session). Families with HMO's should generally not expect to receive reimbursement, though we encourage families to advocate for children's health whenever possible.

Wellspring submits statements for the cost of the clinical program to your health insurance through Wellspring’s insurance billing agent. While most families are successful in recouping a significant portion of the cost of the program from their health insurance, Wellspring cannot guarantee that your policy will reimburse these costs.

Before contacting your health insurer, please contact Wellspring Admissions at 866-364-0808 to discuss insurance reimbursement and how to approach your health insurance company.

Use Loans to Spread Tuition Costs

Wellspring has relationships with a range of lending organizations that can provide easy and responsive loan programs for families seeking to fund a summer at Wellspring Adventure Camp. Loans are available to all Wellspring families, covering the entire camp tuition + fees, including transportation to and from camp. They feature low interest rates and deferral of payments for up to 6 months. These loans also have no prepayment penalties or cancellation fees.

Families who take advantage of the Wellspring loan program find that the cost of 4 weeks at Wellspring can be as little as $110 per month.

Because the loan qualification and application process can be confusing, we recommend that all Wellspring families work with our partner organization, Clark Custom Loans . Clark will guide families through the application process, offering competitive rates and quick response.

Additional fees

Family Workshop: $300 or £200. This fee is refunded in full if family attends Family Workshop Weekend. Not required for Family Camp.

“Continuing Care” Program: $600 This fee is refunded if the Wellspring Adventure camper completes the program successfully. Successful completion of the after-care program is defined as:

1. Camper completes 140 out of 180 days of self-monitoring (3 food items with fat and calories recorded per day)
2. Parent (or camper) obtains a verified height and weight and provides this form back to Wellspring via mail, fax, or email.

Adventure gear fees

For Adventure Camp North Caroline: $350.  This includes all outdoor adventure gear that campers keep, such as backpacks, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, all-weather gear and water bottles, as well as textbooks, curriculum and all necessary materials for the clinical program (e.g., pedometers, Calorie Kings, journals).
Note: Because research has demonstrated the importance of participation in the Family Workshop and compliance with the Continuing Care Program for continued weight loss after returning home, Wellspring will refund the full cost of both to families who support their child in these ways.
