Wellspring New York is unique among weight loss camps for its focus on long-term weight control. The program’s comprehensive Family Workshops and Continuing 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.

Many families report they lose weight right along with their daughter. In fact, family surveys immediately following camp indicate that 40% of families lost more than 20 lbs, cumulatively. Add that weight loss to their daughter’s weight loss, and you have entire families losing weight and getting healthy together. This is a result of Wellspring’s unique Family Workshop.
Family Workshops
At the end of each session, Wellspring New York parents convene on our campus for an interactive 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.
