Since Camp Shane is a weight reducing camp, it provides an extra dimension of reward for staff. In the camp environment, where there is no name calling or fierce competition, campers are eager to learn new skills. They develop a tremendous sense of accomplishment and pride as they learn. Further, in the relaxed friendly atmosphere at camp, strong lasting, and beautiful friendships develop between campers and staff. Then, as the weight losses start to become significant, the whole camp works with and encourages each other. An atmosphere of terrific excitement and closeness envelopes and remains within the camp.

By the end of the summer, the campers are different people. They are thinner, more confident people, so that their summer experience can improve their lives, even after they return to school and home.

We very much want and think you will have a terrific summer. Working here will give you the opportunity to significantly and positively change the lives of children. The satisfaction and personal growth you will gain is invaluable. And the memories and friendships? Priceless.
