Upper Camp for College-Aged Women and Young Adults
At Wellspring New York, typically about half of all participants are 18 and over. We’ve worked with hundreds of older campers and understand they attend Upper Camp because they are motivated to lose weight and improve their health. This motivation is irreplaceable, and Wellspring holds it in the highest regard.
In fact, many of Wellspring’s most dramatic transformations have occurred among Upper Camp alumni.

With Wellspring New York’s unique women-only weight loss environment, campers share experiences and make lifelong friendships.

The Upper Camp program for 18+ campers is unique among weight loss camps. 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 New York, and their high level of motivation helps fuel those who may not be as motivated at the onset of camp – both in Middle Camp and Lower Camp. This means attending scheduled activities, including CBT sessions with their behavioral coach and culinary and nutrition classes.
