Look what we do to make the Camp Shane experience the friendliest – and the most emotionally safe experience campers could ever imagine:
   
How We Create a Caring Environment:
• No teasing, no name calling or putdowns
• Everyone feels safe, cared for and treated with kindness
• Everyone is included in all activities with praise just for trying		 Click Here
• Before they even arrive, we ask campers to sign this pledge    
• When kids sign, they promise to do their best possible to be supportive of others at camp
• Do they occasionally slip up and forget what they pledged? Hey, they're children!   
• But we're always there to remind them what they promised
• Just one thing that makes Camp Shane so unique
How We Establish a Whole New Style of Getting Along:            
• Specific activities and rewards to stress “We're all part of the T.E.A.M.”
• Oh, yes, it means "Together Everyone Achieves More"
For some campers – a refreshing new style of getting along with each other
• Better than school, better than neighborhood
• Feeling and being included creates new levels of self-esteem           
• Guess what follows?  Achievement and weight losses!

We are located in the rural and wooded area know as the Catskill Mountains -which is only two hours from New York City. Campers arrive from all over the world. For U.S. campers, one phone call gets your flight booked. We take care of everything else. We use Newark Airport in NJ where there are many discounted flights offered. Our staff (in bright orange tee shirts) and chartered buses will be waiting at the airport. We will never leave without waiting for your child – no matter what we meet them, have them call home and take them to camp in beautiful buses. We have been doing this nearly 40 years and never have a problem!
You’ll be impressed when they see how beautiful our camp is. And we own it other camps may not
mention it, but they rent the property. What does that mean? If something is broken, they have to call
their landlord and maybe he doesn’t come that fast. Hey, if your toilet is broken, you want it fixed now!
