Financial Advantages

Family Camp provides several financial advantages compared to other weight loss camps.

1. We Target One Attendance, Not Annual Attendance

Virtually all other camps devoted to weight loss also attempt to get you to attend annually.  We don’t.  Most diet camps have 50% or more of their campers return every year.  That’s more than ten times higher than our returning camper rate.  The vast majority of Wellspring campers maintains or continues losing weight after they leave, according to our follow-up studies.  That’s not the case for traditional diet camps, not even close.  At Family Camp, the vital role of support at home should be maximized, again making return trips to camp unnecessary.

2. Insurance Coverage

We provide the only weight loss camps in which most families recoup approximately 1/4th of the cost from their health insurance plans.

Other camps don’t hire the appropriate staff to conduct professional evaluations and numerous counseling sessions. Most health insurance policies will provide reimbursement for the cost of these sessions, already built into the total fee for

camp.  More details about managing the insurance aspects of camp are available at http://www.wellspringcamps.com/affordable.html

3.  Loans

Student loans are available to all Wellspring families. These loans can reduce the immediate financial impact of participation to less than $50 per month.  For more information on these loans and how to apply see http://www.wellspringcamps.com/affordable.html

4. Tax Benefit

Four years ago, the IRS announced a new ruling (IRS Ruling 202-19) that allows treatment for weight problems to be used as a medical deduction.
