Exciting Games & Sports for a Fun Family Vacation
Wellspring Family Camp is a place for parents and children to have fun while learning to establish an active lifestyle at home. A week (or two, or three) at Family Camp is an active vacation, but one of the most fun 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 and culinary classes, and cognitive-behavioral therapy with Wellspring Behavioral Coaches.
While campers are busy, parents have the opportunity to participate in parent workshops, 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 participate in the following activities:
- Personal training
- Swimming
- Weight training
- Soccer
- Trail walking
- Croquet
- Flag football
- Canoeing
- Scavenger hunt
- Cardio playground
- Paddle boating
- Self defense
- Capture the flag
- Beach volleyball
- Yoga
- Core strength training
- Kayaking
- Group fitness training
- Playground games
- Biking
- Tennis
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, private tennis sessions 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 to keep moving at Wellspring Family Camp, we also find time for traditional camp activities that delight the entire family. Some of these activities include:
- Campfires with S’mores
- Talent show nights
- Game show nights
- Movie nights
- Dance night
