Program Description

Known for its high success rates and long-term results, Wellspring UK is Britain's premier weight loss camp for young men and women ages 11-24. Located on the historic campus of King's Bruton (founded in 1519) in beautiful Somerset, Wellspring UK combines weight loss, fitness, friendship, and fun in a comprehensive way unlike any other fitness and weight loss program in the United Kingdom. On our campus, Wellspring students enjoy recently renovated boarding houses and classrooms as well as first-rate, extensive athletic facilities and playing fields.

On campus, we utilize these first-rate facilities for delicious and nutritious food, nutrition and culinary instruction, team sports, personal training, and fun with staff and friends. From here, we venture into South Somerset, as we explore the local rivers, coastline, towns, and beautiful countryside. There is a reason people from all over the United Kingdom, Europe, and the Middle East come to Somerset for their holiday - the location and scenery offer an amazing opportunity to explore and get active. From cycling, climbing, scrambling, and kayaking, the area supports an active lifestyle.

Too often, overweight youth struggle with low self-esteem, depression, a negative outlook, and health problems caused by the extra weight they are carrying. Wellspring UK is a weight loss camp that has proven effective in producing lasting weight loss and lifestyle change, even for young people who have failed in their weight loss efforts in the past. The Wellspring approach, which is based on decades of scientific research and clinical experience, has worked for thousands of young people who have not only lost weight at camp but kept it off long-term.

Wellspring UK has achieved unprecedented results that far surpass other weight loss programs. Campers average a weight loss of over 4 lbs. per week, and the vast majority successfully maintains or loses more weight months after the program ends.

But the Wellspring program is about much more than weight loss. Through nutrition and culinary classes, campers learn how to cook familiar favorites such as burgers, pasta, and pizza in healthier ways. At restaurant and grocery store outings, the focus shifts to making wholesome choices even in the face of temptation. Through cognitive-behavioral therapy sessions, participants learn to set goals, self-regulate, adopt healthy coping mechanisms and stress management skills, and work through issues that may be contributing to weight gain.
