The staff at Active Challenge combine experienced outdoor adventure professionals with highly qualified clinicians. All of us are absolutely committed to helping campers achieve permanent behavioral change and weight loss. Most of all we are committed to having a great time doing it.

Upon registration an enrollment package will be sent out to you with forms to be completed prior to camp as well as program preparation materials, an introduction to Active Challenge and pre-program personal challenge assignments to get you on your way toward a healthier you. Our post-camp follow up program is included in your tuition fees and includes correspondence materials (email and regular post) and communication with your camp councilor to help you keep up the good work started at camp and motivate you to maintain your good habits. The formal post-camp program continues until October where participants may choose to get involved in our Adventure Race.
