Activities

Wellspring Family Camp is a place for parents and children to have fun while learning to establish an active lifestyle at home.  It’s going to be an active week, but one of the most fun weeks you’ve ever had.
Wellspring Family Camp schedules activities for all campers from the moment we wake up, until 9 p.m.  Campers are kept busy through a variety of activities, sports, games, nutrition classes, culinary classes and cognitive-behavioral therapy classes with Wellspring Behavioral Coaches.

While campers are busy, parents have the opportunity to participate in the parent’s program, learning successful strategies for bringing a healthy lifestyle into the home.  Other times, you will join in the fun or simply enjoy the golf course or the spa.  It’s up to you.

So while campers are also always active, the schedule for parents is much more flexible, and parents may take advantage of all the amenities Pinehurst has to offer.

Campers will participate in the following activities:

  • Driving range
  • Personal training
  • Swimming
  • Whirlpool
  • Lawn bowling
  • Weight training
  • Soccer
  • Water walking
  • Croquet
  • Flag football
  • Canoeing
  • Scavenger hunt
  • Putting
  • Cardio playground
  • Sailing
  • Tae Kwon Doe
  • Capture the flag
  • Beach volleyball
  • Yoga
  • Water volleyball
  • Core strength training
  • Kayaking
  • Aerobic kickboxing
  • Golf lessons
  • Pilates
  • Water basketball
  • Biking

Some of these activities will be designated for the entire family, while others will be for campers only.  Please note that all Pinehurst activities are included in Wellspring Family Camp tuition with the exception of golf greens fees, tennis and spa treatments.  These activities may be arranged separately with the resort.

At Wellspring Family Camp, all campers, parents, and staff wear pedometers. For campers and parents, a goal of 10,000 steps per day is common (about 4-5 miles of walking). This is twice the number of steps taken by the average adult. During individual sessions and groups with Behavioral Coaches, we’ll work to identify barriers to achieving these activity goals at camp and at home, both for you and your child.

Exposure to a wide variety of enjoyable activities helps promote a commitment and interest in an active lifestyle at home. Wellspring Family Camp activities enliven children and parents alike, igniting motivation to continue the activities for a lifetime!

While we like keep moving at Wellspring Family Camp, we also find time for traditional camp activities that delight the entire family. Some of these activities include:

  • Campfire sing-alongs
  • Talent show nights
  • Game show nights
  • Movie nights
  • Dance night
