Ensuring Long-Term Success

Wellspring New York is unique among weight loss camps for its focus on long-term weight control. The program’s comprehensive Family Workshops and After-Care program are key to ensuring long-term success. Wellspring is so committed to long-term success and these parts of the program that both fees will be refunded following successful participation.

Family Workshops

At the end of each session, Wellspring New York parents convene on our lakeside campus for a two-day workshop organized and presented by Wellspring New York’s clinical professionals. Parents learn the science of weight gain, weight loss and weight control and enjoy culinary and nutrition demonstrations and presentations. Parents also receive all the tools participants utilize for weight control (self-monitoring journals, Calorie Kings, textbooks, pedometers) and are trained to do the program themselves for the duration of the workshop. This helps parents understand important elements of Wellspring’s behavioral change program. Parents participate in sessions with Wellspring New York Behavioral Coaches. The Family Workshop concludes with the development of a plan for home, ensuring as smooth a transition as possible.

Year-Round After-Care Program

During the last week of the program, participants are trained to continue their program at home, using Wellspring New York’s unique online after-care program. Located at www.myselfmonitoring.com, participants will continue self-monitoring, journaling, goal-setting, weighing-in, and planning their activity with their Behavioral Coach from Wellspring New York.

Participants who complete the after-care program with the level of consistency Wellspring New York requires (i.e., continuing to self-monitor 75% of the time or more) for the ninety-days following camp will receive a refund of the full cost of the after-care program ($500).

The Wellspring New York online after-care program is effective until June 1, 2009. 

After-care accounts are also available at no cost for all family members who wish to participate alongside and support campers through the fall.
