Camp Shane is an excellent weight loss and fitness camp for kids that has been operating since 1968. Featured on various television stations, Camp Shane has proclaimed successful results through nutritional eating and exercise for children.

Camp Shane focuses on the whole child and the education of eating healthy and exercise for fun, as well as for fitness. There is a schedule of activities run by competent staff members and the children are also encouraged to participate in activities that they like best. Through noncompetitive sports, crafts, adventures and more kids learn that fitness is fun. Camp Shane has a gigantic pool that holds approximately 140,000 gallons of water. In the pool the kids learn to swim, participate in small groups, be involved in classes, such as water aerobics, basketball, and more. On the lake kids will take part in boating, canoeing, tubing, and more. Positive reinforcement, as well as encouragement and helping a child develop a higher self-esteem, is a primary focus here. Kids love Camp Shane due to their great activity program and all of the new friends that they meet. Camp Shane makes it so much fun that kids are hardly even aware that they are losing weight. They are just too busy with all of the activity. The average weight loss for a child is approximately 15 to 50 pounds. Rates for Camp Shane in 2009 range from $3300-$7950. Various classes run from the middle of June through the middle of August.

Camp Shane is the longest running weight loss camp around. Located in the Catskill Mountains, kids from everywhere are flown in and picked up by the staff from Camp Shane. Accredited by the State of New York Department of Health and the National Camp Association this camp is one that your child will enjoy. Visit Camp Shane at http://www.campshane.com/.
