Fat Camps For Women—Are Not For You!

Wellspring New York was developed by the world’s leading researchers as the most fun and most effective weight loss program for young women.  Wellspring New York is NOT Fat Camp.  In fact, it is the only weight loss program of its kind exclusively for young women. This unique design is the perfect backdrop for a summer of success.

Many Wellspring New York participants have tried to lose weight before.  Many have attended traditional fat camps for women or weight loss boot camps. After failed attempts at dieting and efforts to get in shape, participants are ready for a solid and comprehensive skill set that works. Rest assured, if you’ve tried various teen diets, teen fitness programs, or even traditional weight loss camps, diet camps or fat camps, Wellspring New York is the place you’ve been looking for—for significant weight loss both while at camp and continuing at home. In February 2007, Consumers Digest concluded Wellspring Camps are more effective than traditional weight loss programs or fat camps. To read this article, click here.

Wellspring New York is so effective because it is based on scientific research  and demonstrates what actually works for weight loss and long-term weight control – especially after Wellspring participants return home or go back to college. Unlike fat camp, The Wellspring Plan is simple, scientific, and sustainable. It was designed by experts based on what actually works to achieve a permanent healthy lifestyle and to return participants to a normal weight.

Wellspring provides an interactive Family Workshop and an intensive year-round Continuing Care program that supports and reinforces the healthy habits formed at camp. As you can see, Wellspring is based on proven results and a supportive environment for rapid and safe weight loss.

Wellspring New York is also the most affordable summer camp for weight loss due to the fact that many participants receive health insurance reimbursement and have the option of a loan to finance the summer program over a period of time.  This option is generally not available at fat camps, due to their lack of medically-sound therapeutic weight loss.

10 Questions to Ask if You’re Considering Weight Loss Camp for Women

If you’re thinking about weight loss camp this summer, think about asking these questions:

1. What was last year’s average weekly weight loss at Camp?
2. What are the camp’s long-term results? What percentage of campers maintain or continue weight loss at home?
3. Who designed the weight loss program? What are their credentials? Is the program design scientifically based?
4. Is counseling or behavior modification offered? By credentialed therapists? (If not, you can bet you’re talking to a traditional weight loss camp, diet camp or fat camp.)
5. If so, do the therapists work full time at the camp during the summer? Does each camper have an individual therapist assigned to him or her? Do therapists continue to work with campers after campers return home?
6. How are families involved?
7. How many campers return each year? Did they regain weight? Will new campers feel left out because of cliques from prior years?
8. How large is the Camp? Is it a manageable size where the Camp Director knows each and every camper?
9. Can we talk to several families of campers who have maintained or continued weight loss from last summer?
10. Does the camp demonstrate improvements in self-esteem and overall well-being?
