Camp Shane New York is located on our privately owned property, 2 hours north of New York City in the beautiful Catskill Mountains famous for its cool summer climate, forests and hills. We offer 50 activities more than you will find at any other weight loss camp. Some favorites are jet skis, go karts, paintball, Zumba, climbing wall, horseback riding, dance, arts and crafts, theatre, and more! Our caring, fun, and nurturing counselors help provide a wonderful environment for our campers. Our focus is on fun as much as on weight loss. Our goal is to have your camper leave armed with the knowledge to continue maintaining their weight loss goals. We offer Cognitive Behavioral Classes to aid in your campers weight loss journey. Ages are 7-17 for boys and girls and we have a Young Adult Program for young woman 18-25 and young men 18-20. We offer three, six and nine week sessions throughout the summer with available weekly extensions. Were a summer camp to lose weight, but here weight loss is only one of our awesome programs. We are not a diet camp, a fat camp or a boot camp. Were not like other fat camps who treat their campers like theyre in boot camp. We dont make being overweight a bigger problem than it is. Were a lot of fun, very friendly and we really care about each other. Camp Shane weight loss camps are for girls and boys, teens and young adult women where you feel comfortable, accepted and good about yourself! We know exactly what youre going through. Were here to help you succeed and have the best time of your life.
