Rental Facilities at Shadow Lake

We are now Open for rentals from community groups with restrictions on the size of the group.
We are sorry for any inconvenience, and we appreciate your understanding. 

From September until May, our well-maintained facilities are available to rent for your next group event. A short 45-minute drive from Toronto, Shadow Lake is an ideal location for schools, scouts, guides, yoga retreats, faith groups and other community organizations.

Located on over 300 acres of beautiful rolling terrain, Shadow Lake is ideal for hiking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Our private lake is great for canoeing, paddle boarding and swimming. In addition, we have a wheelchair-accessible campfire pit, recreation hall, sports barn (not winterized) and indoor basketball court.

Production teams also love to make use of our facilities in the off-season! Numerous movies, commercials and TV series have been filmed at Shadow Lake.

Shadow Lake Centre is owned and operated by Community Living Toronto, a non-profit organization that supports the rights and choices of people with an intellectual disability. When we aren’t running our own camp programs, we offer community groups and other non-profits the opportunity to rent our facilities at affordable rates. All proceeds from our rental facilities fund accessible programs and services for children, youth and adults with special needs across Ontario.

Virtual Tour

“Shadow Lake centre was the perfect choice to hold our Annual Mom’s Retreat for mothers raising a child with a developmental disability.  The grounds provided the serenity the mothers were craving and the opportunity for quiet walks, outdoor meditation and socializing around the campfire at night.  The large dining hall brightly lit with natural light was ideal for the group discussions.”

Tracey O’Regan, Inclusion Coordinator & Education Liaison at Community Living Toronto

“Our school has been coming to Shadow Lake for at least 20 years. Coming to Shadow Lake is one of our favourite community building events.  There's a great variety of winter activities, a large commercial kitchen and cozy sleeping cabins.  Kids and adults look forward to it and we're so grateful to return year after year!”
