 STAFF:
First, we hire great people. Then we run a training
program teaching specific, effective tools to positively
direct children in their relationships with others.
We lead most of the training sessions ourselves, and
add professional trainers and child psychologists to
help sort out the complicated issues.
METHODOLOGY: We stress the importance of using
positive reinforcement; the skill of really listening
to a child; building a camper's sense of self-worth;
and how to deal effectively with negative behavior
by reacting positively. Our camp staff understands
how to do it by example, because our directors are
consistently positive role models - day by day, hour
by hour, minute by minute.
PLANNING: All our programs are meticulously
planned, organized, equipped and executed. An enormous
amount of planning and experience results in superb
programs. Every aspect of our program draws upon decades
of experience, utilization of written procedures and
adult supervision.
As a result, there is no standing around, waiting
for something to get organized. Our specialists know
what they are doing, and that results in lots of valuable
instruction, leading to lots of self-confidence.

How
our campers feel about themselves is as important
as how they look. Looking great is one part; feeling
great takes a whole different type of encouragement.
Guidance counselors on our staff conduct a unique
and effective program designed at Shane. It helps
campers understand their own feelings; identify their
positive attributes; feel good about and develop pride
in themselves.
