Is WCP right for your child?

If you have concern that your child could improve his weight and/or fitness, a comprehensive and intensive program is an excellent first step.

Before joining one of our programs, many have tried and failed with other information-based programs, diets, fitness training, or sessions with therapists or dieticians. Although these efforts are commendable, the lack of integration of all components and often the lack of intensity contribute to short-term gain, but no long-term weight management. Wellspring, with our program proven at our boarding schools and summer camps, is the most effective non-surgical weight loss intervention, for any age group.

The key is to act now. Medical research clearly shows that if your child is overweight now, he or she is very likely to become more overweight in the years ahead. Overweight adolescents are 17 times more likely to become obese adults than adolescents who are not overweight. If your child is not currently experiencing health issues (e.g., insulin resistance, diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome, orthopedic problems, gallstones), these problems might not be far away.

In virtually all cases, the excess weight negatively impacts self-confidence, energy level, mood and outlook. This unhappiness can also trigger or contribute to a range of negative behaviors, including poor academic performance.

Wellspring provides an after-school environment to lose weight, improve fitness, and make lifelong lifestyle changes that is sure to transform your child's body and life.
