This shorter three day trip was jammed packed with fun outdoor activities. Camp Confidence is located near Brainerd on Gull Lake and the drive is spectacular. As we arrived we were greated with a personal counselor who was with us the entire trip. We settled into our own cabin and then headed out fishing on a pontoon boat right away. We had some luck fishing but everyone had a blast because we all got to drive the pontoon. The camp also has a petting zoo and we got to pet a variety of animals each day including rabbits, chickens, turkeys, ducks, and even a calf. The highlight of our trip came when we all attempted to climb "Smitty's Revenge". It is a huge tree and it is an accomplishment just to get to the top of the ladder. Two members of our group even made it to the very top of the tree. Another fun activity we did was to take a boat ride aboard a glass bottom boat. The water was so clear that we could see lots of plant-life and even spotted a couple of fish. The last attraction we went on was the huge slide. We all sat on potato sacks and zoomed down screaming with delight. Besides all the activities, everyone's favorite event was roasting marshmellows by the fire in the evening and sharing stories. Everyone bonded on the vacation and we all came home with more friends than when we left.
