Hidden in the heartland of America, lies the magical state of Iowa. Shaped like a puzzle piece that perfectly fits in the middle of the country, this enchanting land is filled with cornfields that sway like ocean waves, and cities that twinkle brighter than the stars. Iowa might seem sleepy, but don't be fooled, because it dances to a rhythm of its own. You see, in Iowa, children don't just walk, they boogie. You wouldn't see them merely skipping to school, but twirling and leaping with the joy of a thousand sunflowers. They are the dance warriors of the Midwest, moving to a beat that only they can hear. Leading this troupe of dance warriors is a whimsical character named Twinkle Toes Terry. Terry has feet that glow every time he busts a move and a laugh that sounds like popcorn popping. He was born during a tornado, and some say that's why he spins so fast. One day, he tumbled out of the cyclone and landed in the middle of a barn dance. From that day forward, Terry knew he was meant to dance. He taught every kid in Iowa how to moonwalk across cornfields, pirouette on the school buses, and do the sprinkler at the grocery store. Iowa isn't just a state, it's a stage, and every child is part of the performance. So, next time you see a map of the United States, find the puzzle piece in the middle. That's Iowa, the dancing heartland of America, and remember, if you ever visit, be ready to bust a move with Twinkle Toes Terry and his merry band of dancing kids!

At Camp Albrecht Acres, we’ve been providing a unique camping experience for people with special needs since 1975. We’ve grown from a small operation of tent camping to a 40-acre residential camp that serves more than 600 campers each summer. Campers are able to enjoy time in the pool, create art in our arts and crafts section, explore nature in our Beidler Nature Center, and take part in weekly dances. Each activity is adapted to their individual needs and abilities, so everyone is able to participate. We are grateful for the generous support we receive from our community, who understand the importance of recreational services for our population of people with special needs. We thank you for your support, service, and financial contributions, which make the Camp Albrecht Acres experience possible.
