  • Insider Reviews & Perspectives

    The Our Kids review of Shadow Lake Centre

    our take

    The Shadow Lake Centre was established by Community Living Toronto in 1970 and has grown considerably since then. Through the 1980s and 1990s the completion of two major capital campaigns resulted in year-round facilities and programs. The motto of Community Living is “A society where everyone belongs. A society where everyone is valued.” In so many ways, the centre is the physical embodiment of precisely that. Campers arrive to a setting in which their challenges are addressed with empathy, understanding, and experience. They also enter a community of true peers. For anyone, that can be life altering—we all want to go where everyone knows our name, to be sure, and even better if they share our perspectives, challenges, and joys. The setting is well appointed, situated on a 300-acre property within the Oak Ridges Moraine. The staffing is well trained, and there’s a very high camper-to-staff ratio. There’s at least one staff member awake in each cabin through the night, which rightly adds to the sense of care and comfort all round. Health care workers are also on site.

    User reviews of Shadow Lake Centre


    Shadow Lake Camp is such a big part of my son’s life
    Shadow Lake Subsidy Recipient (Parent)

    He looks forward to it with great anticipation every year. It is when he gets to connect with his friends in a fun, safe, interactive environment. He had all his bags packed 2 weeks before we went and couldn't wait to go. This summer he learned some dance moves, how to play a song on a keyboard, took power walks, did arts and crafts, told jokes on talent night, connected with his buddies that he only sees at camp. My son will be sharing his camp stories with family and friends all summer and beyond. I hope that everyone involved realizes the difference that you make in our kids’ lives. I certainly do! Thank you ... Read More

    76 years later, she still has great memories of her time at camp
    Lori McBrien (Camp alumni)

    My mother-in-law had the time of her life coming up to see the camp! She spoke about it for days. Even better — she managed to find her long lost photograph album and had a blast walking me through it. She had many photos and a camp program with her name in it numerous times for all the activities she was involved in ... Read More

    My favorite things about Shadow Lake
    Jocelyn Lowry (Camper)

    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 pontoon 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 on Canada Day.†... Read More
