Confidence Learning Center is a nonprofit year-round education and recreation center located in the Brainerd, MN. For 53 years, we have served children and adults with developmental and cognitive disabilities.  Our programs focus on building social, leisure, wellness, and communication skills—and pre-pandemic we served an average of 10,000 camper days to participants from all areas of Minnesota.  Our Campers are given the opportunity to interact and learn about the outdoors with activities such as: fishing, hiking, skiing, and more.

Our largest in-house fundraiser, organized by Confidence Learning Center staff and volunteers, is the Camp Classic weekend.  These funds help us ensure quality and affordable programming for anyone who wishes to join us at camp.

Our Classic Events combine a golf and fishing tournament, a dinner, and the live/silent auction. At the Sertoman Mariucci Fest, all the event participants gather for a dinner where we offer the silent and live auction.  Each year, 750-1,000 golfers, anglers and community members attend.  The Fest is a fun gathering that provides entertainment, camaraderie, and a buffet dinner.
