Author & Celebrity Stacey Halprin to Spend Summer at Camp Shining Stars

Camp Shining Stars “Where Winners LOSE,” a teen weight loss camp in Eastern NC, announces Stacey Halprin will be their special guest camper for the summer of 2010.
 
March 1, 2010 - PRLog -- Stacey Halprin is the author of Winning After Losing, a book that relays weight loss advice from experts along with her inspirational life story about losing over 300 pounds. Her goal this summer is to inspire young adults to have a healthy adult life with long term weight control. Halprin has appeared on Oprah a handful of times and also starred in Dresscode alongside Shirley MacLaine, Kathy Bates and Gary Sinise. Halprin will stay at Camp Shining Stars for their entire 6-week summer session.

Unique Teen Weight Loss Experience

“I’ve known Stacey for a long time and her energy is contagious,” said Camp Director, Ira Green. “Campers are in for a real treat this summer. Stacey is fun and serious about long term weight loss. This is a great combination for young adults to learn from.” Camp Shining Stars maintains a small size of 100 campers to foster a close-knit environment conducive with weight loss control.

Halprin will share her personal struggles and successes in addition to joining campers in their activities and dining with them. She wants to get back into shape after recent weight gain and feels campers will identify with her current battle. “I am really looking forward to meeting all the campers. Having this opportunity to submerse myself in the camp experience will be motivational for the campers and for me,” said Halprin. “I am so excited for camp to begin! I feel like a kid again counting down to summer vacation.”

Summer Weight Loss Camp at College

Camp Shining Stars defies the conventions of ‘fat camp’ by providing private, air-conditioned dormitory residences on a college campus. Camp is held annually at Barton College in Wilson, NC. Campers are aged from 11-19 and may enroll for a 3-week or 6-week summer session. Those attending the 6-week session are guaranteed to lose 7-17% of their total body weight. Camp begins on June 27th and ends on August 7th.
