FUN-IN-SUN ACTIVITIES

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 having a lot of fun on the beach and on campus while losing a significant amount of weight.  

At Wellspring California, we spend time in amazing places like Malibu, Santa Monica, Ventura, Hollywood and Disneyland, surfing some of California’s best breaks, hiking in some of the world’s most amazing coastal mountain settings, swimming in the Pacific and watching the sun set over the ocean.

Wellspring California is the most fun you can possibly have this summer.  Here are some of the activities you’ll enjoy:

  • Surfing
  • Hiking
  • Sea kayaking
  • Personal Training
  • Body surfing
  • Volleyball
  • Mountain Biking
  • Basketball
  • Ocean football
  • Backpacking
  • Soccer
  • Swimming
  • Frisbee
  • Beach games
  • Scavenger Hunts
  • Softball
  • Capture the Flag
  • DDR (dance dance revolution)
  • Mini-Olympics

We know some of these activities will be new to you, so we start from the very beginning by training on basic skills. For instance surfing starts on dry land, with enthusiastic staff helping and guiding you every step of the way, making sure you are comfortable with all activities before we get going. Then once we get going, you'll never want to stop.

Wellspring California is based at the modern University campus of CSU Channel Island on the coast of Southern California, offering fabulous fitness facilities and brand new, exceptionally comfortable dorm rooms.  This great campus allows us to do many different and fun activities, while taking advantage of our premiere location right near  many of Southern California best beaches and surf breaks.  The campus is nestled in the foot hills of the Santa Monica Mountains, another 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 at CSUCI, 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, sea kayaking, 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.
