Wellspring Academy College Program
Welcome to the Wellspring Academy College Program! Located on our campus in Reedley, California, the Wellspring College Program offers young men and women an amazing opportunity to focus on losing weight and learning a healthy lifestyle in the years following high school. Wellspring offers two separate options for young adults’ weight loss success:
- Academic Track: Students looking to continue their post high school education can earn college credits through Reedley College while still living on Wellspring's campus and participating fully in our renowned weight loss program.
- Adventure Track:Â Students focused on weight loss and non-academic personal development build healthy living skills and confidence through outdoor adventure activities.
In both tracks, students participate in the comprehensive and integrated Wellspring Plan a renowned approach to weight loss that is proven effective for initial and long-term results. Through the Wellspring College Program, young adults have the chance to learn a healthy lifestyle now, before the negative effects of excess weight increase.

Why Take Action Now?
As teens become young adults, the emotional, social, financial and physical risks of excess weight increase substantially. Many people who struggle with weight in their teens continue to add weight as they age, increasing the likelihood that they will face discrimination at work and earn significantly less than their peers.
Health risks also increase with age, including a heightened risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, asthma, hypertension, and many forms of cancers, to name a few. As Rod, a recent student who lost 220 lbs in 10 months remarked, “In the beginning I didn’t want to go, but in the end I decided—what is more important to me than my health? And I could think of nothing because there is nothing more important than my health.”
With that in mind, we welcome you to explore the Wellspring Academy College Program site, read about the weight loss success others have found at Wellspring, determine whether the Academic Track or Adventure Track is best for you, and begin planning your life-changing stay with us.
