Wellspring California is based on the extensive university campus of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in the beautiful mountains of California’s Central Coastline.

Nestled where the mountains meet the beach, Cal Poly enjoys a temperate climate even in the height of summer – providing a very comfortable setting for Wellspring California. Spread over 6,000 acres, the campus prominently features state-of-the-art fitness facilities, a brand new swimming pool, walking and biking trails and even a farm and equestrian center.

Wellspring California campers are housed in Sequoia Hall, a private dormitory exclusive to Wellspring. Campers will be accommodated in very comfortable two-person dorm rooms and every care will be taken to match campers according to their age and interests. Sequoia Hall has excellent activity and co-curricular space for students such as a lounge, game room and outside volleyball area. The campus is within easy walking distance of downtown San Luis and boasts an exceptional safety record.

The University is adjacent to the scenic Coastal Highway 1 and the famous tourist attractions of Hearst Castle and Morro Bay. The central location of the camp makes it within easy reach of both Northern and Southern California and airport pick-ups run from both SFO and LAX.

Campers at Wellspring California will enjoy everything that our fabulous coastal location has to offer. Whether it is surfing at the famous Pismo Beach, exploring the tidal pools or hiking along the magnificent coastline, we provide ample opportunities for exploring the local area and taking pleasure from our beautiful surroundings.

San Luis is renowned for its perfect weather; never too hot and never too cold, the forecast will be sun, sun and more sun.

Welcome to beautiful, sunny Wellspring California, the most effective, most fun weight loss program in California. It's also California's most famous weight loss program, having been profiled in two different reality shows over the past two years.

If you’re looking for a fun-in-the-sun summer at the beach, Wellspring California is the place for you.

Why Wellspring instead of another weight loss Camp?

Wellspring Camps are among the most fun, most effective and most popular summer programs for weight loss. Wellspring Campers have a fantastic time, enjoying exciting activities, losing weight, and improving confidence and self-esteem in an emotionally-safe environment.

Unlike traditional weight loss camps or fat camps, Wellspring Camps continue to WORK when campers go home. Traditional weight loss camps, or fat camps, focus on serving campers smaller portions of teen diet while increasing activity.

However, what differentiates Wellspring Camps from less effective weight loss camps is not only the facilities, food and staff, but whether the camp experience leads to long-term behavioral change. When a child is in a controlled environment for even a month or two, short-term weight loss is the easy part. Without true behavioral change, the weight will come right back in the fall.

This is why Wellspring California organizes its program around changing behavior over the long term. Sports, activities and diet are all part of an overall clinical design to teach new behaviors and habits. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a core element of the clinical program. And because it is unlikely that a child's behavior can change completely over the course of a summer, Wellspring provides an after-camp Continuing Care program, checking in with campers and their families. We also invite families to attend a two-day workshop as part of the camp experience so that they can be better prepared to help their child upon the return home. Indeed, many parents see significant weight loss and health improvements themselves following their Wellspring experience.

Every aspect of the Wellspring program is designed for campers to gain the skills and strength they need to continue to lose weight at the end of camp. We teach them how to read nutrition labels correctly; how to avoid temptation; how to order in restaurants and also how to make exercise a fun and positive experience.
