Welcome to Wellspring California. We're so excited that camp is underway!
What's going on at camp? Check out our blog below with updates and fun stories for everyone to enjoy.
The goal at Wellspring is to help campers change their lifestyle for success at camp and continued success at home. This lifestyle change is led by the clinical team. Learn more about how this works by reading our clinical blog from Dr. Kristina Kelly.

July 9 - Getting Steps In
The password is 10,000 steps and above!
The little row of weary faces that greeted my in the dinner line tonight inspired me to declare it ‘movie night’! With four groups off campus on trips, only our upper camp was left and they have been working so hard all day I felt they deserved a treat.
However, we now have some Dolphins in the making, and to reach Dolphin level you need 20,000 steps a day average. That’s approximately 10 miles! And believe me, even with all the running around we do, I’ve only reached that once so far this summer.
So in order to get entry to the movie, Cascades and Rockies had to show their pedos with 20,000 + steps on them. Some girls even walked around the fire pit whilst eating their fat free soft serve desert to ensure they would get in! For the Alps it was a little easier as being on the first level they only needed 10,000 but their time will also come!
The Appalachians and Snowdonia had their final surfing day today and spent the afternoon in downtown San Luis. I hear fat free frozen yogurt and hats were the main purchases. Now they are having s’mores and a fire back at the campsite.
The Sierras took the Smokies off to visit their namesake and today involved setting up camp and taking a hike. The conditions are beautiful in the mountains at the moment and I hope that the change of scenery will off-set the fear of hiking!
Have a lovely evening,
Jude.
