Wellspring California is based on two components: fun and adventure. We believe that committing to an active lifestyle for the rest of your life begins with trying new activities, sports, and games. Whether it’s hiking the Sequoias, canoeing the Kings River, surfing the Pacific, playing softball, lifting weights, or doing aerobics—our goal is to help every camper love getting active.
At Wellspring California campers experience all the best of California-- amazing places like the Sierra Mountains, Sequoias, Pismo Beach, and downtown San Luis Obispo. From surfing some of California’s best breaks, to hiking in some of the world’s most amazing mountain settings, or swimming in the Pacific and watching the sun set over the ocean, campers have an amazing summer of fitness and fun.

We know some of these activities will be new to you, so we start from the very beginning with training on basic skills.

Then once we get going, you'll never want to stop.
Wellspring California is based on the renowned campus of Wellspring Academy of California, the world’s only year-round boarding school for weight loss and covered by media around the world thanks to the amazing success of Wellspring participants. This great campus allows us to do many different and fun activities, while taking advantage of our on-campus facilities. The campus is nestled near the Sierra Mountains, a great spot to explore and hike, backpack and swim.
Doing all of these fun and exciting activities coupled with more traditional sports and fitness activities on campus, you’ll establish friendships and commitment to a healthy lifestyle that will last for the rest of your life while having an amazing time on the California coast.
SKILL BUILDING + SAFETY = SUCCESS
The best way to build confidence - a key factor in successful long-term weight control - is to stretch your comfort zone and succeed, not burst your comfort zone and fail. So we set you up to succeed through skill building.
We don't expect you to know the first thing about surfing, mountain biking, personal training, or any of the other activities we do at Wellspring California. That's great because we want to teach you how to do all these things the right way. Learning from expert trainers, you'll be comfortable in a matter of minutes, and a master after a few hours.
Safety comes first at Wellspring California. That's why, if any camper is uncomfortable with an activity, there are less-intensive options. We’re confident that once you get started, you’ll be up for the challenge.
