| Description: | Wellspring Adventure Camp is a fun, action-packed adventure where boys and girls ages 10-15 lose weight through experiencing success and building self-esteem in the great outdoors of the Blue Ridge and Great Balsam Mountains, near Asheville, North Carolina. |
| Enroll Info: | Camp sessions are four weeks in duration. Sessions start Sundays throughout the summer, from Sunday June 13, 2004 through Sunday July 18, and end on Saturdays. You may reserve space over the telephone by contacting Wellspring. Wellspring Adventure Camp reserves the right to remove any participant whose health or actions create a safety risk, impedes the operation of the camp, or puts at risk the safety of other campers.

| Length of Stay: | Wellspring recognizes that 4 to 8 weeks spent at camp is a critical first step, not a complete solution. This is why Wellspring offers a comprehensive after-care program, involving families. |
| Financial Assistance: | Although health insurers and HMOs will not currently cover the entire cost of Wellspring Camps, most insurers will cover part of the cost (up to $2,000 per 4-week session for cognitive-behavioral therapy and other therapeutic components). The entire cost of attending camp should be tax deductible for most families. On April 2, 2002, the IRS announced a new policy (IRS Ruling 202-19) stating that "Obesity is medically accepted to be a disease in its own right." For taxpayers, this means that treatment specifically for obesity can now be claimed as a medical deduction following a referral from a physician.Healthy Living Academies is pleased to offer parents financial assistance through Educational Loans. We can provide assistance throughout the loan process and are often able to secure full funding for enrollment. |
