Seperate Program for College-Aged Women and Young Adults

Wellspring New York includes Upper Camp, a completely separate program that meets the needs of older women campers 18 – 24 years old.  Wellspring understands that older campers have different motivations and needs.

Upper Camp for young women includes separate sleeping facilities and a different degree of privileges.  Plus, these campers have special activities geared for their age group, additional free time, and evening events tailored to meet the interests of college-aged 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 and play an important role at camp.  For many young women, Wellspring New York provides the opportunity to mentor and support younger campers—this helps both campers thanks to the “teacher’s principle” which says that teaching others skills, in this case healthy living skills, helps both the teacher and the student.  . 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 classes.

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