Why Choose Wellspring New York?

Wellspring New York was developed by the world’s leading researchers as the most fun and most effective weight loss program for young women. In fact, it is the only weight loss program exclusively for young women. This unique design is the perfect backdrop for a summer of success.

Wellspring New York is so effective because it is based on what scientific research demonstrates actually works for weight loss and long-term weight control – especially after Wellspring participants return home or back to college.

Wellspring provides a three-day Family Workshop and intensive year-round after-care program to support and reinforce the healthy habits formed at camp. As you can see, Wellspring is based on proven results and a supportive environment for permanent weight loss.

Wellspring New York is also the most affordable summer camp for weight loss due to the fact that participants receive health insurance reimbursement and have the option of a student loan to finance the summer over a period of time.

Our results to date are remarkable. Young women who attended Wellspring New York during the summers of 2004-2007 lost an average of approximately four pounds per week during four- and eight-week sessions.

In addition, Wellspring New York campers continued losing weight in the six months after camp – an unprecedented finding. These weight loss outcomes are the best short-term and longer-term results ever reported for weight loss camps or for any approach to treating weight problems in young people.

In a post-camp weight loss evaluation campers continued to lose weight, averaging 5-8 pounds of additional weight loss. According to this program evaluation, 76% of these campers either maintained or continued to lose weight during the follow-up period.
