Wellspring New York is the only scientifically based women-only fitness and weight loss camp. For many young women, ages 11 – 24, Wellspring New York provides a safe, supportive environment for girls and young women to lose weight and get in shape. Many teens and young women find comfort in knowing that they’ll be gaining skills and seeing results with fellow women their age, as camp is separated into lower, middle, and upper age groups.

Co-ed weight loss programs can be very effective. However, there are several reasons why a weight loss camp for women and girls may be more effective for your daughter.
First, at co-ed weight loss programs, some girls are less willing to be active when being active may mean not looking their best in front of members of the opposite sex. This tendency manifests itself in a number of ways, including failing to fully exert themselves and refusing to wear athletic attire, such as a bathing suit. Your daughter may be more active at a weight loss camp for women than she would be at a co-ed program. This means more weight loss.

Second, at co-ed weight loss programs, relationships often evolve. While these relationships can be fun, they can also distract participants from their purpose in attending the program – both when campers are in the midst of the relationship, and also when the relationship comes to an end. At Wellspring New York, you are more likely to stay focused on your program and to achieve higher weight loss.
Not only is Wellspring New York the leading all-female weight loss program, it is the only weight loss program exclusively for young women and girls. You will attend the program with young women your own age, who share your interests, experiences and who are motivated to make this summer the best summer of their lives.

At Wellspring New York, typically about half of all participants are 18 and over. To accommodate the needs and special interests of our older participants, we have a unique Upper Camp Program—a weight loss program exclusively for young women who want a focused, dedicated weight loss camp experience.
