Delicious & Nutritious Food
Wellspring Vancouver campers enjoy a variety of appealing low-fat, low-density foods, including many of the foods kids and teens love, but prepared in a way that supports weight loss. At Wellspring Vancouver, campers learn to eat and prepare foods that are conducive to weight control – foods that are low-fat and, most importantly, delicious. Equally important, the Wellspring teen diet is simple, so that children and teens of all ages are able to follow it at home, and away from home, without requiring parental control, or forcing parents to play the “food police.”
Campers are served breakfast, lunch, dinner, and two snacks per day in a spacious, modern and very comfortable dining hall. In addition to the “controlled” food served at each of the meals, there are “uncontrolled” foods available. Uncontrolled foods include options such as fat-free yogurts, cottage cheese, soups, fruits, vegetables and condiments. These are available in an unlimited quantity so that campers can eat as much as they feel they need; the only thing required is self-monitoring, or recording calories and fat grams after meals. Campers share self-monitoring journals in sessions with Behavioral Coaches four times per week, making campers accountable for their own food intake. The result is a teen diet that is integrated into the larger changes taking place in our campers, and that continues at home.
