Why Choose Wellspring Adventure Camp?

Wellspring Adventure Camp North Carolina was started by the world’s top researchers in weight loss as the most exciting and most effective weight loss program for children and young adolescents – boys and girls ages 11-17.

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. Wellspring Adventure campers in 2004-2007 lost over four pounds per week during four- and eight-week sessions.

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 76% of campers either maintained or continued to lose weight in the six months after camp. No weight loss camp has ever reported continued weight loss after the end of camp.

Wellspring Adventure Camp is the most effective summer camp 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 has the most intensive and advanced support program after campers return home.
