Camp Shane

Pros: Nice fields, clean pool, some good classes.
Cons: Run down facilities, dining hall serves unhealthy food, no certified nutritionist.

I went to Camp Shane as a YA (Young Adult), which was a big mistake. I certainly cannot speak for the younger children, but I attended camp mostly to learn about healthy eating habits and was not necessarily overweight. In retrospect, I should've ...

Cons: It doesn't last long enough

As well as being a camper from 1995-2001, I joined the Camp Shane TEAM this past summer(04) as a general counselor for the SH's (16 year old girls). As you can already tell, I enjoy Camp Shane a great deal to have returned for so many summers. I ...

I worked at Camp Shane this summer as a counselor. Working at Camp Shane was by far the best decision I made in my life because I felt like a better person when I was done with camp. From the first day of camp a special feeling is in your heart that ...

Pros: weight loss, friendships, fun, encouraging staff
Cons: being confined to the camp

The summer of 2007 was the first summer that I was a basketball instructor at Camp Shane. I am a nutrition major where I will eventually become a registered dietician. I feel as though this camp provides the campers with a variety of foods, which helps ...

Cons: would have liked a little more support once they left the camp

My 11 year old daughter went to Camp Shane last summer for the first time. The whole family was a little bit apprehensive about the distance from Canada and the amount of money involved in going to a "weight loss camp" when you can certainly see a ...

Pros: the campers grow out of their shells, friendships last long after camp
Cons: the food isn't that great

I was a counselor at Camp Shane during the summer of 2002. My campers were 11-12 years old. I had never been a counselor or a camper at any camp.

My first two weeks as a counselor, I honestly didn't like it. I loved my campers. They were...

Cons: Sometime restless rainy days

If you like reviews, then I have an amazing review of Camp Shane for you. I am 20 years old and had taken a job at Camp Shane. I didn't really know to much about Camp Shane until I saw an MTV Show about it. So I watched this program and after said to ...

Pros: Everybody I met and everthing that happened

Whenever I got online to read the reviews of Camp Shane I was really upset and didn’t understand why several people had made such terrible statements about their camp experience, because as one of the Nutritionist this summer Camp Shane was one of the ...

Cons: I can't think of one negative thing to say about this wonderful camp.

Pros: I love Camp Shane
Cons: The session are very long

Camp Shane’s motto definitely stands. Camps a feeling not a place. I was a camper at Shane for 4 years and spent my first summer there as a counselor this past summer. Not a day goes by where I find my self-wishing I could be at camp year round. My ...
