Activities and Activity Management

Wellspring New York is a place to explore new activities for your body and mind. You can try something for the first time, or get better at activities you already love. Our goal is to help you find the activities you like because these are the ones you're most likely to continue as you change your lifestyle. From personal training to soccer, white water rafting to gourmet cooking classes, at Wellspring New York, you can find what it takes to return to a normal weight and to keep yourself active and healthy for the rest of your life.

We also leave camp to explore the beautiful Adirondack Mountains, as well as great cities and local culture in cool places like Lake George and New York City!

Fitness and Lifetime Sports

As part of the Wellspring Plan, participants take at least 10,000 steps a day. We all wear pedometers to track our steps. But with all the activities at camp, and with all the walking around our big, beautiful campus, there's simply no way you won't get your steps in. We want you to find activities that you will continue to enjoy upon returning home.

Club Hour

Each afternoon Wellspring New York, campers head off to Club Hour. Every week campers have the opportunity to change clubs. Bolster group fitness skills in the Kickboxing Club one week and perfect your serve at Volleyball Club the next! Take the first steps toward a long-term goal with the 5K Club or take a dip with the Water Sports Club. The variety of Clubs takes the Wellspring activity management approach one step further. We want you to try new things, strengthen skills you already have, and spend time doing the things you enjoy while forming fitness habits to enhance your new lifestyle.

Outdoor Activities

Our campus is ideally situated for a variety of outdoor adventures. Whether enjoying walks through local parks and nature preserves, exploring the mysterious caverns and gorges unique to the area, venturing out for a day trip in the nearby Adirondack Mountains, or plunging into your very first whitewater rafting adventure, Wellspring New York offers a summer of outdoor fun for girls and young women—no matter what your level of experience is. We work with each camper at her own level of fitness to ensure a positive and rewarding experience at all of our outings. If you don’t already love the great outdoors, you will by the end of a summer at Wellspring New York.

Fat Camp for Girls

Just for Fun

Fun and friendship are what Wellspring New York is all about. We'll make sure you have the chance to try plenty of the goofy, fun camp activities that you expect at summer camp. Don't worry, participation is voluntary! (But we know you'll love it! And so will your new best friends.)
