Real Results
For the past four summers, Wellspring camps have produced results that are groundbreaking in the history of weight loss research. Not only have Wellspring campers achieved unprecedented weight loss at camp, they have continued to lose weight once they returned home.
Wellspring camps are the only scientifically based summer programs for fitness and weight loss. As shown, campers who enroll in Wellspring typically have gained a medically considerable amount of weight in the year prior to camp. The conclusion of three follow-up studies, conducted 6-9 months after camp ended in 2004, 2005 and 2006 was that Wellspring campers continued to lose weight, an average of 5-8 lbs. once they returned home. A staggering 76% maintained the significant weight loss achieved at camp.
Wellspring campers lost an average of 4.25 lbs. per week at camp making the four-week average weight loss 19 lbs. and the eight-week average weight loss 32 lbs.
If you are contemplating whether a four or eight-week session is best for your child, consider the following graph:
Eight-week session campers inevitably lose more weight while at Wellspring. Additionally, our studies show that eight-week session campers also lose more weight after returning home. The follow up study for 2005 campers showed that four-week session campers had maintained an average weight loss of just over 20 lbs. while eight-week session campers had maintained an average weight loss of just less than 35 lbs.
Conclusion
Wellspring has demonstrated unparalleled short-term and longer-term results in weight loss for children, teens and young adults. As the foremost treatment option for overweight young people, Wellspring Camps are the most effective programs available.
