Travel for Teens
Worldwide Teen Travel Program
Travel for Teens is founded on the belief that summers (and now spring break) are meant to be fun, and that the best learning comes from experience. Endowed with an insider's knowledge of every location we visit, we offer trips all over the globe for kids to live, absorb, and remember - with access unavailable to the public and unobtainable as a tourist.
Our programs feature choices of things to do, see and experience--so different from those superficial sight seeing tours herding everyone to one site after another. Our programs stay in each location we visit long enough to give you the chance to try on a new lifestyle and culture with your friends, living the life of a native. Travel locations include: France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Austria, Hungary, Holland, Belgium, Czech Republic, Ireland, England, Scotland, Switzerland, Thailand, Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, Costa Rica and South Africa
Wellspring United Kingdom
Residential Coed Fitness and Weight Loss Camp
Developed by leading researchers from the U.S. and Europe, Wellspring UK is among the most effective weight loss programmes for children and adolescents. Wellspring UK includes a Lower Camp for ages 11 - 18 years old, plus an Upper Camp for young adults aged 18 - 24. Both Upper and Lower Camps are geared to the capabilities and expectations of that age group to maximize effectiveness. Of course, our focus is not simply weight loss, but on changing behaviour so the weight loss continues.
On campus, we utilise the first-rate facilities for delicious and nutritious food, nutrition and culinary instruction, team sports, personal training, and fun with staff and friends. From here, we venture into the southwest of England, as we explore the local rivers, coastline, towns, and beautiful countryside. There is a reason people from all over the United Kingdom, Europe, and the Middle East come to Exeter for their holiday - the location and scenery offer an amazing opportunity to explore and get active. From cycling, climbing, scrambling, and kayaking, the area offers an active lifestyle.
