Wellspring Camps
Residential Coed Fitness and Weight Loss Camps
Wellspring Camps provide a scientifically-based behavioral change program focused on long-term weight loss. The goal of Wellspring Camps is to expose campers who are more than 20 pounds overweight to different ways to get in shape and lose weight so that they continue to be active after camp ends.
Campers are typically grouped by age and gender, maximizing the program for each participant's needs and body type. In addition to recreational activities, campers meet with doctorate-level behavior coaches to make long-lasting changes in attitude and self esteem.
With a Wellspring Camp near you, you can enjoy the benefits of a scientifically based approach, a large pool of resources, smaller programs than traditional weight loss camps, diet camps or fat camps, and the chance to implement healthy lifestyle change in a supportive and fun environment. This summer, you may choose from 12 Wellspring programs: New York, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, California, Texas, Hawaii, Vancouver, United Kingdom, Wellspring Academy and Wellspring Family Camp.

Northwaters Wilderness Programs
Wilderness canoe tripping program
Our wilderness canoe trips take us through some of the most beautiful country in the world. Northwaters offers a unique blend of adventure and personal growth in a highly supportive environment. While the experience is challenging, it is not about conquering rivers or mountains, but about learning from the land in a spirit that honors balance, trust and respect. We believe that when participants learn how to handle life on the trail, they become better equipped to handle life in general. Teeth to the Wind!
Programs available for girls (age 11-14), coed (age 13-19), and boys (age 10-19). Northwaters offers wilderness canoe expeditions in Ontario, Canada; separate 2, 3-1/2, and 7 week sessions.

Langskib Wilderness Experience
Wilderness canoeing adventures for boys
Langskib offers wilderness canoeing adventures from our remote Canadian island base camp with an emphasis on personal growth, leadership development, and expedition skills. We believe that our canoe trips are an excellent metaphor for life's journey and represent an important rite of passage into adulthood. While the experience is challenging, it is more about learning from the land and each other, than conquering one mountain or river. Whether it is their first time away from home or they are seasoned wilderness adventurers, participants can find the experience that is just right for them. Teeth to the Wind!
Sessions include 2, 3-1/2, and 7 week programs for young men ages 10 to 17 in the Temagami region of Ontario.

Camp Ak-O-Mak
Residential girls' summer camp
Founded in 1928, Camp Ak-O-Mak is one of North America's finest sports camps, renowned for its competitive and open water swimming programs. Ak-O-Mak provides the perfect combination of a traditional summer camp experience with instruction in over 32 sports/activities. Competitive programs are offered in swimming, triathlon, and canoe/kayak sprint racing, for all levels, overseen by visiting professional coaches.
Ak-O-Mak is located on beautiful Ahmic Lake in the unspoiled Almaguin Highlands of Ontario. Our location provides the perfect setting for girls to appreciate the wonders of nature "unplugged" from the stresses of urban life. Ak-O-Mak helps girls discover the exhilaration of pushing oneself a little further, of digging a little deeper and discovering that "I CAN do it!" feeling which one carries into other aspects of life. It has been said that "Self esteem is gained through the self doing things worthy of esteem!" and we have 80 years of alumni who can attest to this. Ak-O-Mak's smaller size (maximum 100 campers and a 3:1 staff:camper ratio) fosters a closely knit atmosphere where all ages get to know, support and encourage each other. These relationships contribute to the safe environment where girls can develop their athletic skills and experience challenges that enhance personal and social development. Campers from Canada, the USA and the world over enjoy cabin living, campfires, home cooked meals and forging life-long friendships
