Proven Weight Loss Program for Lifelong Results
Wellspring Florida’s comprehensive fitness and weight loss program is based on decades of scientific research on what actually works for dramatic weight loss and long-term weight control. That’s why, year-after-year, Wellspring campers leave camp equipped with the tools and motivation to continue their success at home.
Unlike traditional weight loss camps, fat camps, or diet camps, Wellspring Florida weight loss camp combines diet and activity management with behavioral change for remarkable, long-lasting results. Wellspring Florida campers lose an average of over 4 lbs. per week while at camp and maintain momentum when they return home. The success of Wellspring Florida weight loss camp campers has been presented at scientific conferences, published in journals and covered by media organizations around the world.
Low-Fat, Low-Density Diet:
Wellspring’s tasty food plan is based on learning to choose and prepare foods that are healthy and delicious. Wellspring Florida campers learn to cook the same foods they eat at camp, to shop for these foods in grocery stores, and to order these foods in restaurants. That way, when they return home, campers have the tools to enjoy a delicious low-fat, low-density diet that is nutritious and satisfying. Wellspring’s menu is the optimal diet to counteract the biological and environmental factors that contribute to weight gain.
Activity Management:
Wellspring Florida’s campers achieve at least 10,000 steps each day through a range of exciting activities. Activities include hiking, team sports, aerobics, and biking, just to name a few, and provide each camper with the opportunity to improve fitness in a fun and supportive environment.
Lifestyle Change:
Masters and Doctoral-level therapists called Behavioral Coaches work with each camper to ensure the lifestyle changes made at Wellspring Florida weight loss camp become lifelong habits. This is done through a combination of intensive training on core self-regulatory behaviors proven effective for successful long-term weight control, as well as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which reinforces this training. Wellspring Florida weight loss campers work on frustration tolerance, stress management, and strategize new healthy coping mechanisms to use rather than resorting to old unhealthy patterns.
Family Involvement:
Part of Wellspring’s success is due to family instruction. Parents learn the best strategies for maximizing support for their new weight controller, in good times, and when their child is struggling. During Family Workshop weekends, Wellspring Behavioral Coaches work with parents to ensure that the healthy behaviors learned at camp benefit the whole family.
Continuing Care: Although camp must come to an end when summer is over, success does not. Wellspring Florida campers participate in a ONE YEAR Continuing Care program, providing continued care with a Behavioral Coach, self-monitoring, and communicating with fellow campers online. This support system allows campers to stay connected to Wellspring and focus on their long-term weight management goals.
Wellspring Florida is not a traditional weight loss camp, boot camp or fat camp. It is a scientifically based, remarkably effective, proven program designed for long-term success.
