Welcome to your outdoor experience
Year-round outdoor educational and recreational experience for people of all ages with cognitive and developmental disabilities.
Cultivating self-confidence and self-esteem through outdoor education and recreation for 54 years
People achieve self-confidence and self-esteem though active “hands-on” activities and participation in a variety of outdoor experiences. Programs like archery, cross-country skiing, and fishing—just to mention a few—allow our Campers to challenge their limits and prove to the most IMPORTANT person of all, themselves, what they are capable of.
Upcoming Events
Oktoberfest
Join us on October 5th, from 11am – 7pm! Celebrate the German tradition of Oktoberfest by taking a shuttle bus around 9 Gull Lake locations, sampling the BEST German beer and food at each location, while supporting local charities.
Get your friends together, put on your favorite dirndl or lederhosen, and drink great beer.
Your ticket purchase includes a wristband for access to the shuttles, a mug for each sample of German beer, and some goodies from our sponsors.

At Camp, we are proud to partner with other charities when there’s opportunities to do so. Our friends at Smiles for Jake are taking this 5 year anniversary of a tremendous loss and working to make it positive as a reminder that #wearealljake so we’re going to #paintthetownblue
Today is a good day to be kind, give an extra hug, smile or high five. AND you can also think of our Campers and how many smiles our programs give each time someone joins us - whether an hour, a day or a week!
Be sure to check out our updated calendar on our new website to book the next adventure! Www.ConfidenceLearningCenter.org
I love taking my clients to the activities that the Confidence Learning Center have available and the cabins they rent out are nice and clean. So many things for people to do! They work with adults,children and families that have disabilities both physical and mental diminished capacity. I feel the attention,help and involvement the staff give is awesome! They also do fund raising activities that helps run the facility! Truly a beautiful place and people!
Ready to start your adventure?
Each trip to camp may be a new and unique experience or a building block based on previous trips. We have eight unique cabins to choose from.
