For years, Mary, a member of CLTO Influencers and a CLTO Board member, had heard from her adult son about the magic of the lake, but had never experienced it for herself.

That changed when Mary signed up for "Outdoor Adventure at Shadow Lake Centre". 🏕️

From the moment she arrived, Mary was ready to explore! She spent time enjoying the nature, got creative in the arts and crafts room, and connected with other visitors along the way. 🎨☀️

🌊 And, of course, there was the lake! We took Mary on a boat ride, and it quickly became one of the highlights of her day!

💬 Now, Mary is already planning her next visit. "I'm looking forward to going back," she said. "My son will be there for the week, and I'll get to visit him while enjoying another day at Shadow Lake."

Mary's experience is a reminder that Shadow Lake Centre isn't just for guests staying for the week. Through "Outdoor Adventure at Shadow Lake Centre", with our Community Participation Supports, people can experience the beauty, activities, and sense of community that make Shadow Lake so special.
