WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!
by jlw385

As an overweight child six years ago, I was forced by my parents to go to a weight loss camp. I arrived - for what I now know turned out to be- the best summer of my life. At Camp Shane, I never had to worry about being made fun of, how fast I had to run, and most importantly, how I would fit in to the Camp Shane community. You never really hear about a place where everyone is friends, and where everyone is always available to listen to you if you have a problem however. At Camp Shane everyone is always there with open arms and ready to help you in any way they can.

My home away from home!

I've managed to lose and keep off 50 pounds over the years (at camp). From the moment I first stepped foot on Camp Shane, I knew it was the place for me. I feel that my closest friends were made at camp.

That was the best summer of my entire life.

My mom knows how much camp meant to me and how much I loved it. That was the best summer of my entire life. It changed my whole life socially and mentally and I made the best friends ever! I wear my Camp Shane T-Shirts all the time when I'm home.

I have wonderful memories and even a few photos from 18 years ago.

I have wonderful memories and even a few photos from 18 years ago. That long!!! It was more than a camp, more than a weight loss place. It is a wonderful surrounding with the greatest people

I have to say that it was the best summer of my life so far.

I was a camper last year. I have to say that it was the best summer of my life so far. It made me cry on several occasions just thinking about how much I missed my friends that I had made.

We cannot state the magic you have provided us.

We have all wondered at times what magic is and have finally answered the question; Camp Shane. We cannot state the magic you have provided us within words. We thank you for all you have done for us and know we will be seeing you again as campers, and eventually counselors.

I made lasting relationships with people that I am still friendly with today.

The special on MTV reminded me of how much Camp Shane changed my life and how much fun I had there so many summers ago.

I lost 30 pounds in my six week stay.

I decided to begin my first summer at fitness camp. I began Camp weighing 250 pounds. With the help of Camp Shane (and a heck of a lot of work on my own!), I lost 30 pounds in my six week stay, and then lost another 60 (for a total of 90!) over the next six months.

I had the best summer ever here at Camp Shane.
by Cynthia

Being here at camp and losing the weight makes me feel great and loved by everyone. I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I had the best summer ever here at Camp Shane and I will never forget the laughter here at camp.
