Benefits that Will Last a Lifetime

At Wellspring Camp La Jolla, we want your weight loss success to continue long after you leave camp.  Given the many health risks of being overweight, we know how important it is that you leave camp with the tools and skills to independently live a healthier lifestyle.

Here is how we make that happen:

Behavioral Change—The Wellspring Life Coaching Program »
Wellspring campers are trained on a specific set of behaviors that have been proven to sustain lasting weight loss. Self-monitoring, journaling, goal-setting and contracting become second nature to campers and are integrated with Wellspring’s nutrition and culinary training. The work is conducted by each camper’s Life Coach, a Masters or Doctoral level therapist, psychologist or social worker, who works closely with each camper to overcome any barriers to mastering healthy behaviors.  To read more, click here.

Year-Round Continuing Care Program »
With our unique Continuing Care Program, help is never more than a phone call away!  You will be provided with a range of motivational tools, including online self-monitoring and weigh-ins, ongoing dialogue with our Life Coaches, a toll-free hotline, and newsletters, recipes, menus and workout DVDs to get you moving and keep you inspired.  The Continuing Care Program, which continues through June 1, 2011, also provides a supportive environment for participants to continue using the new skills they have learned at camp.

Bringing Families Together for Continued Success »
During the summer, Wellspring Camp La Jolla hosts several Family Workshops. At these workshops, families learn how best to support their camper once he or she returns home, participate in all aspects of the Wellspring Plan, and learn about the science of weight loss.  It’s a full camp adventure condensed into one weekend, and parents report that it boosts their own weight loss and prepares them to confidently help their family members live healthier lives.
