Confidence Learning Center Provides Unique Outdoor Opportunities in Central Minnesota’s Lake Country
Confidence Learning Center is located 10 miles west of the Brainerd/Baxter community on the shores of Sylvan Lake. Nestled among the pines is a beautiful camp setting home to a non-profit organization that provides year-round outdoor educational and recreational experiences for individuals of all ages and abilities with a special focus on those with developmental and cognitive disabilities. Their mission is to help build confidence, independence, and life skills through inclusive hands-on learning in a beautiful natural setting.
It is known to many as Camp Confidence for day- or week-long camp experiences, but what is less well known is that Confidence Learning Center is available to individual groups, families and businesses to use. If you are looking for something fun and unique to do for an hour, or an entire day, consider a trip to Camp. Itineraries can be customized to your individual group’s needs and expectations and are ideal for family reunions, team building exercises, and retreats that need a mix of meeting and activity spaces. Here are some of the outdoor activities available:
- Pontoon rides on Sylvan Lake
- Tubing behind the boat
- Open water fishing
- Ice fishing
- Zipline and high ropes course adventures
- Archery
- Arts and crafts
- Rock wall climbing
- Animal sanctuary
- Outdoor games
- Campfire cooking and s’mores
- Sliding down the giant outdoor slide.
In addition to the list of outdoor activities designed to build confidence there are nine fully equipped and accessible cabins on-site available for rent; transportation to and from activities; and program specialists available to assist with the activities. Bad weather? No problem. Camp has plenty of indoor activities, games, crafts and educational rooms in the John Mariucci Lodge available too. Confidence Learning Center is a great resource for campers, individuals and businesses. Learn more on their website and consider taking advantage of this beautiful camp located in the Brainerd Lakes Area of Minnesota.
