This blog shares the personal experiences of participants at Shad Valley 2008 – a different blogger each day. Program content and activities vary from year to year and from campus to campus; we hope our participants’ experiences convey some of the excitement and learnings from July 2008.
"We came here as complete strangers, and since then we’ve grown to become much more than friends. We’re family; and Shad Valley is our home."
"Shad has meant so much to me and to everyone else here at UNB. These past four weeks have changed everyone’s lives. I have 59 new best friends when I leave tomorrow and I know that I can call on any of them at any time. "

"During the 27 days at UBC, it did not rain once. The rain seemed like a fitting end to the unbelievable month I had. To all of my Shad UBC friends who I have grown so close to, it has truly been a remarkable ride."
