Families Change Together at Wellspring
At Wellspring Family Camp, parents learn the skills required to maximize the probability of successful long-term weight control at home. These include self-regulatory, stress reduction, and child management skills. While you are having a great time on your vacation, we are continually providing intensive education and training in these areas, focusing on interactive, engaging, and enjoyable exercises and presentations. Parents frequently tell us that the stress reduction and communication skills learned at Wellspring Family Camp are “life-savers” in handling relationships and difficult situations with children, family members, spouses, friends and co-workers.
Given the active lifestyle and very low-fat, low-calorie-density menu at Family Camp, parents who would benefit from weight loss will certainly have the opportunity to lose weight. Parents who are at a healthy weight will discover that the activity level and menu will foster a sustainable healthy lifestyle for the entire family.
We strongly encourage all parents to focus on their own healthy lifestyle programs, even though this will involve weight loss for some, but not for others. The healthy lifestyle presented at camp is a very powerful model that all families can embrace at camp and once they return home. As parents often find, “walking the walk” almost always motivates their children more than “talking the talk.”
