Shadow Lake Weekend, Week-Long & Day Camp

SLC Weekend, October 2023

Embrace a new dimension of the great outdoors with Shadow Lake Centre Year-Round program from September to April. Unlike the typical summer camp, our program extends the magic of camping into the heartier seasons of fall, winter, and spring. From the rustling of crisp autumn leaves to the serenity of snow-covered landscapes, each program serves as a unique getaway, offering a distinct backdrop for creating memories that last a lifetime.

SLC Weekend

Discover Nature in Just a Weekend

Join us at SLC Weekend, where you'll escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse yourself in the serene beauty of nature. Each weekend kicks off on Friday and wraps up Sunday, offering you a cozy, intimate experience with up to 10 fellow campers and 3 dedicated staff members.

Warm up by the campfire, share stories under the stars, and indulge in seasonal activities that could include snowshoeing through powdery trails, tobogganing down scenic hills, or simply taking in the crisp, fresh air. It's not just a breakโ€”it's a weekend that revitalizes your spirit and reconnects you with the great outdoors.

SLC Week-Long

A Week of Adventure, A Lifetime of Memories

Why limit the fun to just a weekend? Our SLC Week-long program takes you on a 5-day adventure
where you'll dive deep into the wonders of Shadow Lake Centre. Kick off your week on Monday
and immerse yourself in a week of friendship and activities, as you and your group dive into the
seasonal delights our camp has to offer.

SLC Week-long, January 2024.

Whether you're whipping up delicious treats in cooking sessions, getting creative with arts and crafts, hiking through scenic trails, watching movies with friends, or diving into themed activities, each day is filled with opportunities to connect, grow, and create lasting memories. This isnโ€™t just a campโ€”itโ€™s a week-long journey into the heart of nature and friendship.

SLC Day Camp

Your Day, Your Adventure

The SLC Day Camp is perfect for those craving a burst of outdoor fun without the overnight commitment. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., you'll dive into a full day packed with activities that capture the unique charm of each season. Whether it's a brisk hike through the woods, an exhilarating round of tobogganing, or a creative nature-based craft session, thereโ€™s something for everyone.

Join us for a day filled with laughter, adventure, and the chance to make new friends in a stunning natural setting. With a small group of participants and 2-3 dedicated SLC staff, every day at the SLC Day Program feels like a mini retreat into nature. Individuals who require their own personal support staff are more than welcome to bring them along to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
