| shanerstyle's Full Review: Camp Shane |
I have spent the past two summers at Camp Shane as a boy's counselor for middle school children, and I can truly say that the past two summers have been the most amazing summers of my life. I have built long-lasting friendships with children and adults that will be with me forever. By working at Shane, it gives you the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children who need a positive role model to overcome the adversities that face them throughout their childhood years. Being able to bring a simple smile to a child's face by showing them that you care is one of the most rewarding experiences that one could ever experience in their lifetime.
The counselors at Camp Shane go above and beyond what is expected of them. They truly are there for the kids. We are always on call, and children know that they can talk to us about whatever is on their minds. We provide emotional support, encouragement, friendship, and love to our "children" for the summer. Head staff is very responsive to staff and campers, and they are always available to speak with. The activities at Shane keep the children active while also providing an enjoyable experience for all.
Camp Shane is labeled a weight loss camp, but when I look into the eyes of these children and I see the effort and fun made at camp, I do not see overweight children. I see kids who have made a healthy decision to change their lifestyle and venture to New York for a fun-filled summer of laughter and friends. Personally, I would recommend this camp to anyone because it truly captures the heart of all, and makes you want to come back for more. Shane can make all your children's dreams come true as well as build one's self-esteem to face the real world.
Take my advice: enroll your child if they want to make a healthy lifestyle choice and enjoy a normal summer camp. They will meet friends and staff that will forever make an impact in their lives.
If you are looking for a job. This place is for real. It is one of the most rewarding and challenging experiences that one could ever be exposed to. It is worth it, and I will never forget the memories, friends, and inspirational campers that I have made at this magical place.
Finally, ignore the negative comments on this site. A majority of these come from campers or staff that were sent home due to breaking the rules.
Shane is a positive environment with good facilities and a caring community wanting to provide the best possible experience that one could have in a summer.
