Shadow Lake Programs
Winter Break, 2022.
Shadow Lake Weekend
Embrace a new dimension of the great outdoors with Shadow Lake Centre's Weekend program. 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 weekend serves as a unique getaway, offering a distinct backdrop for creating memories that last a lifetime.
Starting every Friday and wrapping up on Sunday, each session at our camp is intimate, consisting of a single cohort made up of up to 9 individuals and 3 dedicated staff members. Participants deeply connect with nature, foster bonds over warm campfires, and engage in a variety of activities tailored to the distinct charm of each season. Depending on the weather, you might find yourself snowshoeing, tobogganing, or diving into other exciting endeavours. This isn’t just any camping trip; it's a transformative experience that truly rejuvenates the spirit.
REGISTRATIONS ARE CURRENTLY OPEN THROUGH MYCOMMUNITYHUB.CA.
