Program Description

Fun, adventure, and weight loss are the name of the game at Wellspring Adventure Camp in North Carolina. Through exciting activities like whitewater rafting, paddling, rock climbing, rappelling, mountain biking, hiking, and camping, boys and girls ages 11-18 learn to love being active and eating nutritious, low-fat, low-density foods that fuel their bodies. At the Adventure Camp, it is common for participants to discover after an action-packed day that they took as many as 30,000 steps (12-15 miles) - without spending hours in a gym.

But Wellspring Adventure Camp is about more than nutrition and culinary education, healthy eating, and physical fitness. Together with a master's or doctoral level therapist, campers work through underlying issues that fuel emotional eating, such as stress, depression, and anxiety that enable them to keep the weight off permanently. In a safe and non-judgmental environment, with the guidance of staff and support from their peers, campers build self-confidence, trust, and an overall sense of well-being.

As featured on CNN, Wellspring Adventure Camp has achieved unparalleled weight loss results. Research has shown that campers lose over four pounds per week and 70% maintain or continue to lose weight six months after camp ends. The camp's success can be attributed to its scientifically based approach, intensive continuing care program, and strong family involvement.
