Delicious and Nutritious Diet
Your Family Can Continue at Home
At Wellspring Family Camp, you won’t be hungry and will never be bored with our healthy and flavorful menu. You’ll have a variety of delicious entrees and uncontrolled (unlimited) foods at every meal.
Wellspring’s diet management program is unique. After you experience it, you’ll ask: “Why doesn’t everyone do it this way?” Typical diet camps provide restricted amounts of a wide variety of foods, like pizzas the size of a small pancake for dinner and tiny sandwiches for lunch. While Wellspring does limit the portion sizes of entrees at meals, there are always unlimited amounts of uncontrolled foods.
Wellspring Family Camp provides appealing uncontrolled foods at every meal: fat-free yogurts of different flavors, wonderful fruits, fresh vegetables, homemade soups, fat-free tuna and egg salads, fat-free cottage cheese, and more. Parents and campers learn that they can be healthy and eat until they feel satisfied. The secret is not really a secret after all: by eating certain types of foods and making sure to keep them interesting and tasty, no one will feel deprived or hungry at Wellspring.
Typically, breakfasts and lunches will be simpler, as we’re moving quickly to get on with the activities of the day.
