Shad Valley	Camp	Since 1981, the Shad Valley program has been helping top students in senior high school find an edge in the competitive, knowledge-based world of tomorrow. It’s an experience unlike anything else you’ve seen; it combines entrepreneurship with science and technology, and offers academic and often paid work experience to its students. Our candidates tend to be creative and talented individuals––musicians, inventors, and young businesspeople––with strong leadership skills, the ability to work in a team, and solid academic records, particularly in math and science. Participants spend the month of July at one of twelve excellent universities across Canada, where they attend lectures and workshops, and get involved in group projects. Some go on to five weeks of paid work with Shad partner companies, combining their own talents with the skills honed at Shad to tackle real-world challenges. Not only is applying to Shad Valley free, but substantial financial aid is available. We believe that all qualified students deserve an opportunity to benefit from the Shad Valley experience, regardless of their financial situation. Shad Valley works to make participation possible for candidates that are accepted into the program and demonstrate the need for financial assistance.
