Camper Experience:

 “I honestly have to say that this camp is Jeff’s favorite place in the world. He’d live there if he could. As a parent of a special needs adult child, it’s also great for us to be able to have a break, and know that Jeff is being well taken care of and having a great time. The staff are absolutely amazing and we love them all. I honestly hope that this camp continue to be available always because there is nothing else out there that even compares to Shadow Lake.”

Did you know you can
rent out our spaces?

From September until May, our well-maintained facilities are available to rent for your next group event.

Rental Facilities Experience:

“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!”

Support Our Legacy of Inclusion

For over 50 years, our community has empowered children, youth, and adults with intellectual disabilities to experience the joy of camp.

Camper Experience:

“I like how they do my diet and at the end of the week, we go to George’s convenience store. I like the talent show, the dance, and boat rides. I always like spending time with staff friends and when staff reads my book to me. Each year I enjoy catching big fish, and helping Marissa with the property and chasing geese. I like feeding the fish under Gary and Marissa’s dock. I enjoy when we do scary haunted houses, and taking part in kangaroo court. One thing I enjoy are the fireworks.”
