I am delighted to announce that Camp La Jolla has entered into a new and exciting partnership with Wellspring Camps.

Although a relatively new organization compared with Camp La Jolla, Wellspring has already become the leading provider of weight-loss programs for children and young adults in the US and abroad, with 11 summer camps across the U.S., as well as in Canada and England, and 2 year-round boarding schools in California and North Carolina.

Wellspring campers have achieved incredible weight-loss results at camp. More importantly, the majority of campers maintain their weight-loss or lose more weight once back home.

We will be maintaining everything that is special about Camp La Jolla – with our choice of activities, amazing food, dedicated staff and of course the trips to local attractions. And we also will be adding the best components of the Wellspring program.

These include a goal of 10,000 steps per day as measured on our pedometers, food journaling, culinary classes with trained chefs, a focus on goal setting and attainment and the option of a dedicated Life Coach for each camper.

Most of our Life Coaches are Masters- or Doctoral-level counselors, psychologists or social workers who specialize in approaches that maximize motivation. Sessions are provided through small classes and one-on-one sessions.  The Coaches help participants recognize what they can do to achieve a healthier lifestyle and empower them with the skills and self-confidence to make it happen.

Although participation in individual life coaching sessions is entirely optional, many of you will find that participation enables you to recoup some of the cost of camp in the form of reimbursement from your health insurance, which is another great benefit of combining with Wellspring.

In addition, the Continuing Care program provided by Wellspring includes a year of online contact with one of the Wellspring La Jolla life coaches post-camp as well as the same advice, recipes and weight-loss tips for which we are already famous.

You’ll notice a number changes to our website as we update all of our information to reflect this exciting new partnership.  In the meantime, feel free to give us a call at 1.800.825.TRIM (8746) with questions, or call Wellspring directly at 866.364.0808.

I can’t wait to meet you at the beach this summer. It will be Camp La Jolla’s best and most effective program ever.

Sea you at the beach!
