Wellspring Upper Camp:
The Only Summer Weight Loss Program for College-Age Young Women

At Wellspring New York, typically about half of all campers are 18 and over. We understand that older campers attend Wellspring because they are motivated to lose weight and improve their health. This motivation is irreplaceable, and Wellspring holds it in the highest regard.

The Upper Camp program for 18+ campers is different. Upper Campers are placed in separate bunks and have somewhat different privileges, consistent with what adults would expect. Upper Campers have special fitness classes and activities, as well as free periods so they are able to spend more time focusing on the activities they plan to continue when they return home. Evening Activities are tailored to meet the interests of college-age young women. Wellspring New York staff and program design cater to the needs and interests of young adults.

At the same time, Upper Campers acknowledge that they are full participants in the Wellspring program. Indeed, Wellspring’s Upper Campers typically set the tone for all of Wellspring, and their high level of motivation of helps fuel those who may not be as motivated at the outset of camp – both in Upper Camp and Lower Camp. This means attending scheduled activities, including CBT sessions with their behavioral coach and culinary and nutrition events.

Many of Wellspring’s most dramatic transformations have occurred among Upper Camp alumni.
