Weight loss camp shut

Camp Shane, located at the South Kent School off Bulls Bridge Road in Kent, shut down on July 13 and surrendered its 11-day-old license on Aug. 23, at which point the Office of Early Childhood and Department of Children and Families terminated a joint investigation that began July 8.

Some of the allegations in the records included campers walking around unsupervised at night and in lightning storms, campers being encouraged to work out until they vomited, a counselor yelling at and threatening to fight a camper, and inappropriate “comments of a sexual nature” by a male camper to a female camper.

Owner David Ettenberg denied all charges set forth and did not respond to multiple requests for comment since mid-July, when

he said the shut camp down due to staffing issues. — Currie Engel
