Camp Confidence helps with Winter Wonderland
The Confidence Learning Center crew spent Nov. 4 at Sertoma Winter Wonderland helping set up displays for the upcoming event.
Sertoma is a service organization and has supported Camp Confidence efforts for many years through donations and activities such as the Sertoma Mariucci Fiesta during the camp's annual fundraiser.
Camp Confidence staff and volunteers wanted to give back some of the support that Sertoma has shown for Camp Confidence where people with developmental disabilities learn year-round about nature.
Camp Confidence is also a proud financial supporter of the Winter Wonderland displays at the Northland Arboretum. The three-year donation to help pay for a display was made in Camp Confidence's name by a volunteer who is also a Sertoman.
The Sertoma Winter Wonderland at the Northland Arboretum runs Thanksgiving through New Year's Eve.
