World’s Best Weight Loss Program
Wellspring Camps are the most effective weight loss programs available for children, teens and young adults. Wellspring’s programs are based on decades of scientific research and have demonstrated unprecedented weight loss results – both at camp and after campers return home.
The average weight loss at an outpatient (hospital- or clinic-based) weight loss program is 1/2 lb. per week. The average weight loss at Wellspring’s summer immersion programs is 4.25 lbs. per week. No program has ever demonstrated comparable weight loss.
Wellspring campers don’t just lose weight at camp, they continue to lose weight or maintain their weight loss once they return home. Again, no other program has ever demonstrated this result.
Other weight loss camps do not track their campers in follow up studies; the typical experience is weight loss following by weight regain over the fall, winter and spring. In contrast, Wellspring stays in contact with campers through our unique year-long after-care program and is always available for support. Wellspring wants campers to succeed.
The majority of Wellspring campers are new to the program. All campers come to Wellspring Hawaii ready to change habits, get in great shape, and make memories on the magical Big Island of Hawaii.
