Our camp staff includes health care professionals and well-trained counselors. And our camps are fully accessible in modern resort-like facilities with hot showers and good food.
We give campers a safe place to challenge themselves with activities that help them develop life and leadership skills. And teen campers can gain valuable, first-time work experience through our Counselor-in-Training program.
The Courage Center Camps experience facilitates the development of personal strengths, such as self esteem, honesty, responsibility and feeling in control of one’s life. Campers also have opportunities for social interactions, including friendship, positive peer and adult role models, and learning to resolve conflicts peacefully and feel valued by others.
The experiences offered at Courage Camps are particularly important because they facilitate personal growth in areas that may transfer back to home.
Camp Courage - lies on 305 acres of beautiful lakeshore, woods and fields near Maple Lake, Minnesota (about 50 miles west of the Twin Cities), and is a modern, accessible setting.
