Important Investment in a Healthier, Happier Child

Wellspring has helped change the bodies and lives of thousands of children, teens, and young adults with two leading programs:

1. Wellspring Camps.  With 11 summer and fitness and weight loss programs, including Wellspring New York, the only all-female weight loss camp.
   
   
2. Wellspring Academies.  Year-round, long-term enrollment for weight loss while continuing education.  Learn more about the Academies here.

There are several reasons why Wellspring New York is an affordable investment in your child’s health and future.

Low Potential Monthly Cost*
	4-week session	4-months w/ fee
Tuition	$6,490	$26,000
Insurance Reimbursement	$1,500	$5,500
Monthly Cost w/ Loan	$110	$271
* Potential reimbursement differs depending on family insurance, but many families are reimbursed 1/4 of the price of tuition by insurance. Contact your own insurance to determine the amount you will be reimbursed.

Reimbursement of Fees from Insurance

Thanks to the clinical component of Wellspring, many Wellspring families are successful in recouping approximately 1/4th to 1/3 of camp tuition from their health insurance.

Typically, families with PPO plans are more likely to receive reimbursement for a portion of the clinical component of the program (as much as $2,000 for a 4-week session, and $3,500 for an 8-week session). Families with HMO's should generally not expect to receive reimbursement, though we encourage families to advocate for children's health whenever possible.

Wellspring submits statements for the cost of the clinical program to your health insurance through Wellspring’s insurance billing agent. While most families are successful in recouping a significant portion of the cost of the program from their health insurance, Wellspring cannot guarantee that your policy will reimburse these costs. Please contact Wellspring Admissions at 866-364-0808 before contacting your health insurance.

Pay Tuition over a Longer Period

Wellspring has relationships with a range of lending organizations that can provide easy and responsive loan programs for families seeking to fund a summer at Wellspring New York for their daughter. Loans are available to all qualifying Wellspring families. These loans can cover the entire camp tuition + fees, including transportation to and from camp. They feature low interest rates and deferral of payments for up to 6 months. These loans also have no prepayment penalties or cancellation fees.

Families who take advantage of the Wellspring loan program find that the cost of 4 weeks at Wellspring can be as little as $110 per month.

Because the loan qualification and application process can be confusing, we recommend that all Wellspring families work with our partner organization, Clark Custom Loans. Clark will guide families through the application process, offering competitive rates and quick response—typically within 48 hours.

Refundable Fees

Wellspring asks families to pay for two important aspects of the Wellspring New York program: Family Workshop and Continuing Care. However, both these fees are FULLY refunded to families for participation in the Workshop and in the Continuing Care program. This is Wellspring’s way of saying thanks and helping ensure your daughter is successful years after camp ends.

Family Workshop: $300

This fee is refunded in full if one family member attends the Workshop, offered on visiting weekend and the concluding weekend, twice over the course of the summer.

One Year Continuing Care Program: $600

The fee is refunded based on meeting two criteria:

1. Camper completes 140 out of 180 days of self-monitoring (3 food items with fat and calories recorded per day)
2. Parent (or camper) obtains a verified height and weight and provides this form back to Wellspring via mail, fax, or email.

ALL participants are encouraged to continue using this program, and to stay in contact with their Behavioral Coach from camp, after this six-month period. In fact, campers have a full YEAR of continuing care available to ensure they are maintaining or continuing weight loss at home.
