Camp Sertoma was created in 1999 in partnership with Sertoma Clubs of the Great Plains Region and  Confidence Learning Center which is located on beautiful Sylvan Lake in central Minnesota. 

Campers are from both rural and metro areas of the Great Plains regions (Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Nebraska). Camp Sertoma is one of the few overnight DHH camps located in the Great Plains Regions. This is a once-a-year opportunity for many of the kids to be with other kids with similar experiences and feel no judgment. When a child is in an environment with no communication barriers, builds new friendships, and has great role models, their self-esteem sky-rockets, naturally.

We are well-staffed with a ratio of one staff per five campers. Campers are supervised twenty-four hours a day.  The beach area has two lifeguards on duty, they are specifically trained for life guarding on a lake. 

We believe the natural wilderness of camp is the best place for the campers to grow..... friendships, confidence, and emotional well being! Camp Sertoma at Confidence Learning Center is located just north of Brainerd, Minnesota about 115 miles from the Twin Cities.
