A Note on When to Enroll
In our experience, it’s important to minimize the length of time between the decision to attend Wellspring and the date of enrollment. The reason? This period tends to be disastrous from a weight-control standpoint. We have seen many students gain 20, 30 or even 40 lbs. over a few months while waiting for a planned start date. Many young people will approach diet and activity in this interim period as: It doesn't matter, because I'll lose the weight at Wellspring.
This level of weight gain can prolong the amount of time the student will need to spend at Wellspring. So we recommend minimizing this period of time by accelerating the enrollment. Please call us at 866.277.0221 or to discuss the best time to enroll your child.
