Our Campers, their families, and their staff are given the opportunity to interact and learn about the outdoors and challenge their self-confidence with activities such as: Challenge Course, Archery, Animal Sanctuary, and more.

“Confidence Learning Center is heaven on earth for our group home clients.  Our residents talk about camp all year long.  They mark their calendars and await the fun filled exciting week to arrive.  Our client return year after year to share in the making of life time memories.  They learn, share, grow and appreciate the wonderful time they spend at camp.   Each camper comes home with a new level of self-confidence, improved social skills and a host of wonderful memories!”- Julie Stace
