Guests enjoying Shadow Lake Centre in the Summer of 2017.

 

We are getting ready for another fantastic season at Shadow Lake!  We would like to update you on a number of changes that are impacting the camp and guest fees.

Over the past several months we have reviewed our summer camp program and  determined that our current operational model can no longer support the changing needs of our guests and provide the quality of service we believe in and our guests deserve. Operational costs of the camp have increased significantly and we are required to make some difficult decisions in order to keep the camp running.

Regular camp sessions will be 5 days long, starting on Sunday at 10 AM, and ending on Thursday from 4-7 PM. All regular session camp fees have increased to $1,500. The fee for children’s camp increased to $1900 – due to a higher staff to guest ratio.

We will no longer be able to provide accommodation for guests with multi-session stays.  Guests can book multiple sessions, but we are not able to bridge those sessions together.

We understand that this has been a popular option for some guests in the past.  We are currently exploring solutions for bridging sessions and will communicate any changes as soon as possible.

We have not made this decision lightly.  For many years we have worked hard to keep fees as affordable as possible.  After examining every possible option we determined that to maintain the Camp program we needed to make these changes.

We are proud to be able to say that thanks to a number of donations and grants, we were able to make significant upgrades to the camp where we did not need to pass on the costs to our guests, including, cabin renovations, making the camp more accessible, and upgrading the septic system.

Please note that Camp registration is now open! You can register at www.MyCommunityHub.ca. Space is limited, so register early!
