Wellspring:

• Opened first programs in 2004 (two summer camps and first boarding school for weight loss).

• Operates boarding schools, summer camps, after-school programs and adventure vacations for weight loss.

• The most comprehensive, intensive, and immersive weight loss program ever developed. The scientifically-based Wellspring program was designed by leading researchers and includes diet management, activity management, education, training and cognitive-behavioral therapy to ensure long-term behavioral change.

• Best documented outcomes for weight loss of any non-surgical treatment program, for any age group.

• Youth programs serve children, adolescents and young adults ages 5 – 24. Boarding schools enroll students from 6th grade through college.

• Studies show students lose an average of 3 - 4 lbs. per week.

• Follow-up studies 18-months post-program demonstrate weight loss is maintained, on average.

• Wellspring Academies campuses are in California and North Carolina.

• Wellspring Camps, our summer camps, are located in New York, Texas, North Carolina, California, Wisconsin, Hawaii, the United Kingdom, and Australia, as well as the Wellspring Family Camp located at Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina.
