Active Challenge
Weight loss camp for girls aged 13-18 in Canada
Active Challenge is a weight loss program specially for young women. The burden of being overweight is heavier than just the extra pounds. We use outdoor adventures to challenge the girls, to give them something to draw strength from.
Because you’ll be losing weight alongside young women just like you, you’ll find no one laughing at you and you’ll help each other. At Active Challenge you’ll make lifelong friends with young women of your own age and learn to love new adventurous activities.
Unlike any other weight loss program, Active Challenge is designed so you’ll lose weight and have the strategies (策略) and skills to keep the weight off forever. Active Challenge does not put you on a diet. We follow the Canada Food Guide to healthy eating and exercise appropriate portion (一份) control. We help you develop healthy habits.
The staff at Active Challenge combine experienced outdoor adventure professionals with highly qualified clinicians. All of us are absolutely devoted to helping you achieve lasting behavioral change and weight loss. Most of all, we are devoted to having a great time doing it.

There’s a program for middle schools called Treps that teaches kids about business and product development. The students are given the task to learn to _______ products on their own, and at the end of the program the school gym is _______ up like a trade show where all the kids get to sell the products. They each get a_______, make signs and dress up a little. The school gym is open to the public and_______ a crowd.
Some of the kids there _______have a crowd at their stand, because the products made by themselves are unique and interesting. But there are some other kids, with _________that aren’t very good, just don’t stand out, aren’t getting attention. At first, they stand there with a _______ face but later you can see the _______in their eyes because everyone walks by the stands uninterested. I always think it _______to visit the stands of those kids, buy something, and ________ them for how hard they must have worked on it. Just the confirmation that someone likes what they make and notices their effort can________ them. I usually bring $100 to this event merely for this __________. As the night goes on, ________ they still haven’t sold much, I will send my daughter over there to buy something from them.
The other day, as an education expert, I was________ with some parents about this. They asked me why I encouraged the kids who made terrible products, saying “________ confirmation means they won’t learn anything”. I told them, “These kids know their products aren’t a________ , but that doesn’t mean they should________. It takes courage to________ there and try to sell their products. If nobody buys anything, or nobody________ their effort, they will probably quit next time.” Hearing these, all the parents agreed.
A little encouragement can go a long way and sometimes a small lie can be a big________ in the right direction.
