Description:

Developed by leading researchers from the U.S. and Europe, Wellspring UK is among the most effective and MOST FUN weight loss programmes for children and adolescents. Each summer, Wellspring UK students averaged weight loss of over 2.0 kg. per week. A number of students lost nearly 20 kg. during the course.

Wellspring UK is focused on long-term, life-changing success, not just weight loss while at the programme. In fact, over 70% of participants in Wellspring courses from the summers of 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 maintained or continued weight loss 9 months after returning home.  To read some of these stories, click here.

Wellspring United Kingdom is located on the Streatham Campus of Exeter University, in the heart of the beautiful county of Devon in the South West of England. While close to the historic city of Exeter, it is within easy reach of miles of coastline and rolling countryside. With renovated classrooms and boarding houses along with extensive fitness and training facilities, Wellspring offers teens and young adults ages 11 – 24 the opportunity to lose weight while having the best summer of their lives.

On campus, we utilise the first-rate facilities for nutrition and culinary instruction, team sports, personal training, and fun with staff and friends. From here, we venture into the local area for an exciting array of activities—exploring the rivers, coastline, towns, and beautiful countryside. There is a reason people from all over the United Kingdom, Europe, and the Middle East come to County of Devon for their holiday—the location and scenery offer an amazing opportunity to explore and develop an active lifestyle.

Unlike other traditional weight loss camps, fat camps, or weight loss clinics, Wellspring offers an approach to teen diet and fitness that is simple, scientific, and sustainable.

Wellspring UK includes a Lower Camp for ages 11 – 18 years old, plus an Upper Camp for young adults aged 18 – 24. Both Upper and Lower Camps are geared to the capabilities and expectations of that age group to maximize effectiveness.

Of course, our focus is not simply weight loss, but on changing behaviour so the weight loss continues. This is where the scientific programme design comes into play. Through intensive training and cognitive-behavioural therapy, Wellspring professionals and behavioural coaches work with each participant to adopt new, healthy coping skills, increase frustration tolerance, work through underlying issues that might be contributing to weight gain, and change behaviour.

Don’t miss your chance to join among the most effective fitness and weight loss programmes developed for any age group!
