OUTCOMES FROM 2004 - 2007
Weight Loss at Camp
Campers who attended Wellspring California during the summers of 2004 to 2007 lost an average of approximately 4.25 lbs. per week during four- and eight-week sessions, or an average of 18 lbs for four weeks, 36 lbs for eight weeks. This is the best consistently recorded weight loss of any weight loss summer program for adolescents.
Continued Weight Loss at Home
Wellspring California campers CONTINUE LOSING WEIGHT after camp ends - an unprecedented outcome for weight loss programs.
In post-camp weight loss evaluations that occur 6-9 months after completion of camp, Wellspring campers continue to lose weight, averaging 5-8 lbs. of additional weight loss beyond the weight lost at camp. Not only are Wellspring campers maintaining their weight loss, most continue to lose more weight. In fact, over 70% of Wellspring campers either maintain or continue to lose weight during the follow-up period.
