Welcome to Camp Shane, where everyone is a "V.I.P"

Thank you for your interest in joining our staff. Camp Shane has great summer jobs and is hiring camp counselors and other summer camp staff to work at our traditionally run coed weight-loss camps located in the Catskill Mountains of New York and in Mayer, Arizona

If you are a graduate, undergraduate college student, coach, teacher or someone who is available for the summer and enjoys working with children, we have the best summer jobs for you. Come and make a difference in someone's life!

Since Camp Shane is a weight reducing camp, it provides an extra dimension of reward for staff. In the camp environment, where there is no name calling or fierce competition, campers are eager to learn new skills. They develop a tremendous sense of accomplishment and pride as they learn. In the relaxed, friendly atmosphere at camp long lasting and beautiful friendships develop between campers and staff. Then, as the weight losses start to become significant, the whole camp works with and encourages each other.

By the end of the summer, the campers are different people. They are thinner, more confident people, so that their summer experience can improve their lives, even after they return to school and home.

Our staff is critical for a successful summer. We develop close working and personal relationships and hold regular staff meetings. The owners and head staff are always available. We thrive on feedback, suggestions and involvement to improve camp and create a great summer for campers and staff.
