If you were like me and had no idea what Camp Sertoma was, let me please enlighten you. The Camp Sertoma Foundation is a charitable organization whose primary mission is to assist individuals with speech, hearing, and language disorders. Additionally, They sponsor community projects and promote freedom and democracy.
Annually they host a Boy Scout Camp and an egg hunt with the Easter Bunny and other special events. The camp features a decent full basketball court and a playground area that is on grass/dirt and has monkey bars, a medium sized jungle gym with a slide, tunnel and bridge, a tall metal slide, a bank of traditional/toddler swings and a larger wooden jungle gym with a slide, balance beam and monkey bars. The larger jungle gym is like a set up somewhat like a ninja course. The camp is has no shortage of green space that can be used for various things such as camping, flying a kite, playing catch, a football or soccer game, or having a picnic
I saw 5 small cabins on the compound. They looked in pretty bad shape and in need of some serious TLC. I am not sure if they are still being used, but they do not appear serviceable. You will find a large enclosed circular pavilion at the camp with picnic tables set up outside of it and tables and chairs on the inside that can be configured to your needs. The pavilion also has restroom and a small kitchen inside as well. What I found that was cool about this pavilion is that it has an indoor fire pit in the middle with a huge vent over top of it that goes out of the roof. I had never seen anything like that. This pavilion is able to be rented for special events.
The Camp is home to a community center, which serves primarily as a bingo hall. They host bingo every Monday and Thursday there, and from what I hear, it is a big deal. There is a barbecue restaurant worth checking out that operates out of there on select days as well. The Center is also available to be rented for special events.
This place has some decent facilities. Could it use a little updating? Yes, but they still have enough stuff that is adequately maintained to probably suit your needs. It is a very verstile place and can host a day camp, wedding, birthday party, field day, camping trip or pretty much most any other special event that you can think of. read more
