Honorary Board Member
Barb Eggleston Passes
Everyone at Camp Courageous
was deeply saddened with the
passing of Honorary Board
Member, Barb Eggleston. Camp
has lost a wonderful friend and
hard working and dedicated
volunteer. Everything she did,
she did to perfection, as a sign
of her love for others. Tom and
Barb Eggleston’s love story was
as wonderful as any I have ever
heard. Their lives were spent doing
for others. What a huge void
they leave
us with...
but what
a beautiful
legacy...
Camp’s
sympathy goes out to Barb’s
son Mike; daughter-in-law, Becky;
granddaughter and former Camp
Courageous Counselor, Jennifer;
granddaughter, Melissa; grandson,
Thomas; and Barb's many friends.
She will be missed.

Camp receives matching challenge in
effort to upgrade pool’s HVAC system
The Roy J. Carver Charitable Trust has
announced a matching gift of $157,521
for use in the Camp Courageous Pool
Renovation HVAC Project (heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning system).
The camp’s indoor pool is one of
the favorite activities for all individuals
with special needs who attend camp
each year. In addition to the over 6,000
campers with special needs using the pool
each year, the pool is an asset to the area,
offering an extensive after school winter
swimming lesson program. Running from
December until March, approximately
400 children participate in this program.
The pool is also open daily to the public
for open swim hours and pool rentals.
Between campers and the public, it is
estimated 100,000 individuals have used
the pools since it was built.
The Roy J. Carver Charitable Trust
funded half of the original cost of the
pool… which represented $375,000 of
a $750,000 project. The project grew
to $1 million when many of camp’s
traditional volunteer contractors, who
had never worked on a pool of this size,
did not want to take the risk of a project
of this magnitude.
In 2010, Aquatics International
Awarded The Camp Courageous’ Indoor
Pool “2010 Best of Aquatics -Wellness/
Rehab Center.” The judge’s commented,
“The camp’s commitment to its donors’
dollars is very impressive.”
Camp is now seeking funds for an
HVAC system for the Camp Courageous
Indoor Pool that will be matched by the
Carver Trust up to $157,521.00. The
pool is almost 12 years old and due to the
nature of chemicals and water used within
the structure, the current ventilation duct
system, housed within the cement deck
that surrounds both pools, has caved in
substantially. This has greatly limited the
free flow of air, dehumidification, and the
quality of air in the building. Currently
only one of two dehumidification systems
work. The camp decided it would be better
to install a new overhead HVAC system,
than spend thousands and thousands of
dollars making repairs–just to get by for
another year or so.
Gifts of $1,000 or more will have a
block engraved in the pool to the donor’s
liking. Donations can be sent to: Camp
Courageous Pool Project, PO Box 418,
Monticello, IA 52310 or go on-line at
www.campcourageous.org to make your
contribution.

Manchester Garage Sale
38th Year! Opens on April 15th
The 38th annual Manchester Garage
Sale for Camp Courageous is about to
get underway. Just as Camp Courageous
has grown from 211 campers during
the summer of 1974 to nearly 6,500
individuals with special needs yearround
today, so has the growth of the
Manchester Garage Sale.
The Manchester Garage Sale, Camp
Courageous’ largest fund raiser, is
run by over 60 volunteers. From 8:30
a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through
Friday and from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00
p.m. on Saturday, for six months of
the year, these volunteers give of their
time to run the sale located at 913
East Main, in Manchester. The sale
will open Monday, April 15th and
will remain open until about the first
week in October. For the six months
following the sale, volunteers work
on the facilities, constantly making
improvements.
The Manchester Garage Sale has been
a win-win situation. People who have
donated their personal items to the sale

have had the opportunity to clean
house, knowing their things will
go for good use. The buyer has the
opportunity to get needed items at a
very reasonable price, and the camp
has obtained items it needs, along
with much needed financial support.
The Garage Sale is led by a very
dedicated committee. For these ladies
the sale goes year-round, as they are
constantly gathering things, washing
and mending items, and doing
whatever they can for the betterment
of Camp Courageous. The committee
includes Delores Prospt, Una
Swanson, Marla Schiess, Honorary
Board Member Jackie Snyder, Janice
Gillihan, and Vera Gienapp.

The two-way radios are
used by staff to be able to
communicate any where and
at any time. For a variety of
safety reasons, and for quick
access to campers and staff,
these could be a life saver.
A new camper activity is
geocaching. It is like going on
a treasure hunt. Campers with
the help of their counselors
will learn to use a hand held
GPS unit finding coordinates.
They then proceed to follow
the GPS directions and hike
all around camp. As they get
closer to their goal they will
stop and look for the 'cache'.
This may be a metal or plastic
box with trinkets for all to
share. Typically those hunting
for the caches are prepared to
leave a trinket as well.

We would like to thank Jeff and Judy Miller
from Home Hardware in Davenport for
their years and years of selling fruitcakes,

Board Member, Muriel Allen, who passed
away a few years ago, but her legacy lives
on in so many she touched.

(L) Camper Daniellle Kraemer is pictured
cutting her birthday cake onboard the Disney
Magic cruise ship.
Charlie
I just wanted to send this to let you know
how much fun I had with camp on the Disney
Cruise in November, and that the travel
program is awesome… not that a week at
camp is not awesome and a vacation in itself.
I call Camp Courageous my home away from
home. The reason I say that is because when I
come to camp, or go on a trip with camp, I can
just be my self. Everyone understands me for
who I am, which is not always the case in my
everyday life.
The cruise is the third trip I have been
on with camp the second with Rolo, who is
incredible. The job Rolo does of leading these
trips is amazing. The first trip I went on with
him was to New York City which turned in to
quite an adventure. That trip was awesome as
we were on the today show and I got Al Roker’s
autograph. The Disney cruise, however, was a
vacation of a lifetime. It is a vacation that, with
out programs like this, I would have never
been able to go on.
Jenna was my counselor on the cruise and
she was amazing. One morning we over slept
for a charter breakfast and I had a mini melt
down which happens at times when things
don’t go as expected. She just told me that
is not appropriate behavior for a 27 year old
and everything would work out, which it did.
I calmed down and apologized. She did not
get mad at me and knew exactly how to calm
me down. While on the cruise we did a ton of
fun things from dancing with Mickey, Minnie,
Chip, and Dale to playing bingo, swimming,
going to awesome shows, and a ton of other
stuff. We went to “hell” in Grand Cayman,
held baby lions in Costa Maya, and spent an
awesome day at the beach in Cozumel.
My favorite day of the trip was probably the
day we were in Grand Cayman for a variety of
reasons, one being it was my golden birthday
(I was 27 on the 27th). When we got back on
the boat we ordered room service for lunch
which was cool. I wanted to just then stay in
the room and chill as I knew it would be a late
night since it was pirates night and there were
fireworks at 10:30, but Jenna said we’re going to
do something with Rolo’s group. I went along
because I had to. We get where we’re going and
Rolo says Dani open the door, so I do, and
find out where we were going was a surprise
birthday party for me. I had no idea! Jenna
thought I did though because of my resistance
to go. That party was awesome. They had a big
cake for me and sang that night at dinner. A
fellow camper, Becky, gave me a stuffed bear
she bought that day. Then that night there were
fireworks which just topped off my wonderful
birthday on the Disney Wonder.
Charlie I am going to end by saying Camp
Courageous rocks!! It also holds a special place
in my heart. Last summer I did not get to
come because of the cruise and other family
vacations and my summer was not the same.
I will be back in May, though, and am already
counting the days. Thank you for all you and
all your staff do to keep this wonderful place
a float.
Sincerely,
Danielle Kraemer

Camp switches to
PayPal for credit
card processing
Camp Courageous
recently updated it’s
credit card processing
to PayPal’s non-profit
system. By using PayPal the camp
will reduce it’s fees and other costs.
Camp was running it’s own
merchant account, which provided
a lot of flexibility. However, it also
required specialized software and
servers in order to keep payment
information safe and secure.
Preventing fraud and other malicious
activity has to be a top priority
to everyone handling personal
information. The camp was having
to constantly keep up with changing
needs of security necessary for it’s
online transactions.
PayPal offers competitive nonprofit
rates to Camp Courageous
that will reduce the overall fees being
paid. Additionally, the camp can
hand-off the burden of maintaining
the high security necessary for credit
card transaction to PayPal’s servers.
Camp Courageous will continue
to keep all donor, camper, and
other information as secure as
possible. Using PayPal allows the
camp to reduce costs and credit card
processing burdens. Donors, camper
parents, and those participating in
camp events may notice this change
on their credit card statement
description. Please contact the camp
at any time if you have any questions.

Thank you for
your support
and keeping
the dream of
Camp
Courageous
alive!
24 April 2013 - Camp Courageous - www.campcourageous.org

Hampton-Dumont High School students team-up
to make donation to Camp Courageous
Left, long time camp supporter and Franklin
County Sheriff Larry Richtsmeier has
made toys for the camp for years. At right is
incoming Greater Franklin County Chamber
President Megan Rosenberg.
Hampton-Dumont High
School Seniors Demi Monaghan
and Nasra Nassor wanted to serve
the community for a Martin Luther
King Service Project. So they
called the Greater Franklin County
Chamber of Commerce for ideas.
Sheriff Larry Richtsmeier and
chamber executive director Brook
Boehmler had discussed how
Richtsmeier (and before him, his
Lynn & Martha
Kobliska are a
wonderful couple!
Lynn is originally
from Waterloo
and is big time
into trains. He
visited Camp
Courageous with
his Dad, Harland,
just after Tom &
Nan Riley donated
their train to
camp. Lynn is with the Justice Dept.
(Marshalls) and Martha is with Homeland
Security. While recently visiting the Kobliskas
in DC, Lynn introduced me to dozens of
his friends as, “this is Charlie Becker from
Camp Courageous… you know the camp
I'm always talking about,” and they knew
exactly what he was talking about. Lynn and
Martha are wonderful representatives of the
camp in the DC area. They help camp with
the Combined Federal Campaign and so
many other projects. Lynn has been involved
in the Train Project since the beginning and
is now working on obtaining a caboose for
the camp. We are very fortunate to have the
Kobliskas as camp friends!
A big thank you to the
Ossian Knights of
Columbus for once again
selecting Camp Courageous
as one of their charities to support
this year. A wonderful group!
father) have been making wooden
toys for visually impaired campers
at Camp Courageous. Monaghan
and Nassor decided to collect paper
products for camp through the
chamber’s Buy One Product Local
Campaign in Greater Franklin
County.
Thank you to Larry and his wife, Charlene, for
transporting the donations to camp.
Camp Courageous can not thank the Five
Seasons Jim Beam Bottle and Specialties
Club enough for their incredible outpouring
of support at their annual holiday party held
in Cedar Rapids. They collected a car load
of needed items for the camp. The Five
Seasons Club has been supporting Camp
Courageous since almost Day 1. A special
thank you to Fran and Ken DeMarc, who
work year-round for camp.
Wishing Lee Carstens a speedy recovery
from a fall she took in Ames. This picture
with Sam, was taken just before the fall. The
Carstens are wonderful supporters of the
camp and great promoters of the camp in
the Ames area.
Marginal Note: The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.
McDonough holiday
concerts a big hit!
A big thank you to Jim McDonough
for donating the profits from his concert
tour to Camp Courageous. It was an
exceptional year and we look for an all
new show in 2013... thank you to all
those who attended.
“Attended the Camp Courageous
Jim McDonough fund raiser at the
Paramount Theatre yesterday. My Mom
had wanted to see Jim McDonough for
several years, so we took her and my
whole family. What a great event! Jim
is a uniquely talented individual. I was
glad to get a chance to see what I consider
another great Iowa treasure. We will be
looking forward to attending next year
if you have a similar event. It looks like
an outstanding fundraiser for the Camp
and I hope your other venues are as well
attended as Cedar Rapids.”
-Bruce Barnhart, West Branch IA
“The Dubuque Five Flags Theater was
filled to the brim as we heard the beautiful
music of a concert pianist. "The Holiday
Grande" performed by Jim McDonough
was truly a great and wonderful show.
The audience was delighted to hear such
God-gifted entertaining. To add to the
extravaganza, his orchestra and talented
dancers in costumes made it one of the
most beautiful shows we have seen.
His talent began at the age of 7 in
Monticello, Iowa, and through the years
of training and hard work was led into
a career as a professional musician. What
makes him so special is, "He is Iowa's own
concert pianist."
His love for Camp Courageous of Iowa
and his sharing his wonderful talents
to benefit this very worthy cause is very
overwhelming.”
-Jack & Jill Rokusek, Dubuque IA

Bentler played role in
starting PMCI relationship
Back in 1981 not too many people
knew of Camp Courageous and the camp
was seriously struggling. A committee of
Oil Jobbers were in search of a charity they
could support.
One of the original committee members
to visit camp and pledge support of
$1,000 per year was LeRoy Bentler, who
passed away in January at the age of 87
in Houghton, IA. The family asked that
memorials be sent to Camp Courageous.
LeRoy had a wonderful personality and
was always a joy to be around... he loved
life!
Remembering Camp Courageous in your
will help build a foundation for the future
Since 1974, Camp Courageous
has been serving tens-of-thousands
of campers with special needs
through the incredible dedication
of staff and volunteers, without
government assistance. Together,
camp can continue to touch the
lives of thousands of individual
with special needs long after we
are gone.
Please remember the Camp
Courageous Foundation in your
will. To include the Camp in your
will, please include the following
sentence and gift information:
“I give ______(specific amount, or
property, percentage, or residue) to
the Camp Courageous Foundation,
located in Monticello, Iowa, a
tax-exempt organization, for the
purpose of supporting its programs
for those with disabilities. Tax ID
42-1377886.”
Thank you for remembering
Camp Courageous with your gift
that will give forever.
LeRoy’s sons and daughters visited
camp with memorials and we had a
wonderful visit. There is that sparkle
of LeRoy in each of their eyes. Special
thank you to LeRoy’s wife, Jerry and seven
children, John (Ruth) Bentler of Iowa
City, Iowa, Rebecca Bentler of Fridley,
Minnesota, Katie (John) Morrow of
Bettendorf, Iowa, Rich (Diana) Bentler of
Washington, Iowa, Lynn (Tony) Fedler of
Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, Peg (Kenny) Welcher
of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, and Larry (Wendy)
Bentler of Fairfield, Iowa
During wartime, due to his age of
17, he illegally drove a gas truck to area
farmers for his father’s, Bentler Oil Co.
He was later drafted into the United States
Army serving with the 82nd Airborne
Division in Okinawa Japan. After the war,
and his honorable discharge, he returned
to Houghton to work for his father,
eventually buying the business. LeRoy
was an owner and operator of petroleumrelated
businesses. Because of his expertise
and his generous spirit, he touched the
lives of many people.

LeRoy Bentler

Convention a

Bill Smith, age 77 of
New Boston, IL passed
away on Dec 14, 2012.
Per his and his wife,
Dorothy's wishes,
memorials were left to
Camp Courageous.
Bill was born in
Hopkinton, IA and lived
in the area throughout
his childhood. Bill’s
mother, Helen (DeShaw) Smith had supported
Camp Courageous because of her uncle,
Dr. Earl DeShaw. Dr. DeShaw was a great
supporter/fund raiser of Camp Courageous
and began the Perpetual Fund in 1980. He
was a great mentor. Helen’s commitment to
the camp was passed on to Bill. He enjoyed
visiting the camp and realizing what a great
benefit it offered, he continued to support it
the remainder of his life.
Jenny Simmons, 47
passed away March 9
after a courageous fight
with cancer. She was a
camp counselor during
the summers of 1984,1985
and 1986. She worked as
the recreation specialist
during the summer of
1987. Camp was lucky to
have Jenny on staff all four years she was
in college at UNI. She was bright, capable
and fun. Her positive energy and quick wit
kept us all laughing. Jenny's campers were
fortunate to have her as their counselor as
she consistently put their needs before
her own. And best of all, this hard working
young lady knew how to see the humor in
challenging situations. Jenny will be missed!
Donations can be made in memory

Rickie Rowray
was a huge hit at
Camp Courageous
for years. From the
Back-To-School
Festivals to weeklong
camp weeks...
Rickie touched the
lives of thousands
of campers, staff, and volunteers. He was a
beautiful person with his magic and balloon
art. Rickie was a precious person, who never
fully realized the joy he brought to so many....
he will be dearly missed by everyone, here
at Camp Courageous. Rickie was 66 and
from Cedar Rapids. He graduated from the
Iowa School for the Deaf in 1965. Rickie
worked for Rockwell Collins for 37 years and
retired in December 2002. He held various
positions with the National Fraternal Society
for the Deaf. He belonged to the World Deaf
Magician Organization and was a magician
for 47 years. He was a balloon artist providing
smiles and entertainment for the VSA Iowa at
the Iowa State Fair for over 24 years. One
of Rickie’s favorite sayings was “Can Do.”
He lived his life with an optimistic attitude in
everything that he did. He accomplished so
much within his family, community, state and
his travels. His antics and talents brought joy
to children and adults alike. His deafness
never limited his imagination and creativity.
He strived to do the best in all that he did
and brought you a smile with his “Can Do”
attitude. Camp's sympathy goes out to
Rickie's family and friends.
Our sympathy goes out
to the family and friends
of Orvin Yeoman who, at
age 95, died peacefully
in his sleep on February
6, 2013. Over the years
Orvin, and his son Tom,
have provided Camp
Courageous all the snow
shovels and lawn equipment camp has
needed for free. Yeoman and Company,
was founded in 1929 by Orvin's father.
Orvin retired as a co-owner and production
manager in 1990.
Seldom did Orvin, and his wife Eleanor,
ever miss a camp Breakfast/Open House
or Community Event. Orvin asked that his
memorials go to Camp Courageous.

The West Union Knights of Columbus
continued their support of Camp Courageous
with a recent donation. Pictured is camp’s
Dennis Bayne (second from left) accepting a
check from the group.
Pictured is Caseys
360 Tours owner
Kevin Casey who
spent time at camp
this winter to shoot
pictures for Camp
Courageous.
These photos
will be “stitched”
together to make
360-degree
images of the
inside of various
camp buildings.
Once completed,
they could be used
to give people
virtual tours of the
camp’s buildings. Thank you Kevin for his
time!
Lindsay Mavis of Poway, CA first
came to camp in the summer of 2011
to volunteer as a counselor for a week
while her mom, Brenda, and others
visited family here in Iowa. Lindsay
did a great job and continued thinking
about her experience when she returned
to California. She decided that for her
senior project, she would put together
a fund raiser and spread the word
about Camp Courageous. She spent
hours designing t-shirts to sell and
putting together a fund raising dinner,
which included a silent auction and a
presentation about camp that Lindsay
put together for the guests.
Dick Frondle and Joyce Claude of Cedar
Rapids participated in the annual “Cases for
Camp” event. They went one step further
and even delivered the cases of food! Along
with the food items they also donated some
much needed paper products and brought
along some miscellaneous items from the
VFW #788. The campers will truly enjoy this
donation during one of their tasty meals
served at camp. Thanks Dick, Joyce and
VFW #788!
For over 40-years
ESP International has
been a global and
domestic supply
chain specialist
for seals, rubber
products, plastics,
cast and forged metal
product. ESP has developed inhouse
engineering that helps design
seal applications, metal castings
and forgings, and also provides
value-added assembly and inventory
management programs.
In 2013, this employee owned
company chose Camp Courageous to
be their charity this year. They have a
wide variety of fund raisers planned...
then the company will match the
employee's gifts. We are grateful for
their support!
Until recently,
Gerald Miller
operated Trophy
& Shirt Works
in Maquoketa.
After closing his
business, he had
several boxes of
merchandise left
and decided to
donate it to Camp
Courageous.
The T-shirts,
sweatshirts, caps, and cozies are a wonderful
donation camp greatly appreciates Gerald’s
generosity.
Camper Susie Haskell enjoyed sledding
while at Camp Courageous this winter. Susie
is from Carroll, IA and attends camp through
the New Hope Village group.
The fund raiser was very successful and
we would like to thank Lindsay for all of
her hard work and for being such a great
friend to camp.
It was great to have camper Clayton Rich
of Carroll, IA back at Camp Courageous.
Clayton has been coming to camp since
2003 and had another great week!

April 2013 - Camp Courageous - www.campcourageous.org

Campers spend the entire year eagerly
anticipating what their camp week
holds and one of their most prized
possessions is…
“THE T-SHIRT”
Would you be
interested in
sponsoring camper
T-shirts?
T-shirts are ordered throughout the
year making it easy for sponsors
to be added at anytime. A gift of
$1,000 provides a 4” X 6” space on
the back of the T-shirt for your logo
or name for an entire year.
With nearly 6,500 campers served
each year, what better way to show
your support for camp?
For the second year in a row, camp was fortunate to have a great group of volunteers from the
University of Vermont. The students were part of the Alternative Spring Break program. They
spent their spring break working as volunteer counselors, which was a huge help. Thank you
to all of the students, which included the group leaders Ally Croteau and Katelyn Chafe, as well
as Kayla Potter, Patrick Maguire, Hilory Thomas, Brittany Bauman, Sarah Hopkin, Molly Miller
and Ben Barnet.
Contact Dennis Bayne for more

Thanks to Lacie Surratt, Shauna Gribben,
Krista Leibfried and Danny Leibfried for
their help during a respite care weekend
this winter. Lacie, Shauna and Krista are all
graduate physical therapy students at the
University of Iowa who came to camp as
part of their service learning. Danny, also a
student at U of Iowa, is Krista's brother and
wanted in on the fun for the weekend.
This group of wonderful volunteers from
Anamosa, IA is responsible for peeling
the majority of apples that are donated to
camp and made into apple sauce that feeds
hundreds of campers every year.
Liz Deegan was kind enough to bring her
St. Regis Middle School basketball team
from Cedar Rapids, IA for the third year in a
row. They are responsible for peeling a large
portion of the apples donated and turned
into apple sauce for campers. This continues
to be a great experience for both volunteer
and kitchen alike.
We started 2013 with a cold yet very fun
respite weekend, thanks in part to a great
group of campers and two wonderful
volunteers. Pictured are campers Cameron
Curler (Asbury), Johnathan Gregory
(Manchester), Dallas Dircks (Cedar Rapids),
and Samuel Lewin (Independence) and our
awesome volunteers Anna Greenwald and
Amanda Kockler. Anna and Amanda are
graduate physical therapy students at the
University of Iowa.
This great group of AmeriCorps volunteers
came to camp as part of the Martin Luther
King Jr. Day of Service. These AmeriCorps
volunteers all work with Habitat for Humanity
groups around the state of Iowa. They were
a great help!
(L-R) Thanks to
University of Iowa
physical therapy
student Jordan Galles
for volunteering as a
respite care counselor.
Camper Sammy

bonded with Jordan
over the course of the
weekend.

You can make a financial gift to the camp using the
form on the back page of this newsletter. Payment can
be made with a personal check or credit card (VISA,
MasterCard, or Discover). In general, donations to the
camp will be tax deductible to many. However, you
will need to contact your tax advisor to determine the
deductibility of your contributions. You can make your
gift in memory of or in honor of an individual(s) or
occasion. An acknowledgement about your gift can be
sent to the individual(s) if you provide an address.
Riley Train Depot Plaque
Tom and Nan Riley donated a train to camp to thrill
thousands of campers! The track and depot are installed
and built. Many camp and/or train enthusiasts have
asked, “How can we help?” We will continue to have
workdays for landscaping around the track and depot.
You can also contribute to cover the ongoing
operational costs as well as future expansion of the
train. The name, or the wording of choice, will appear on
the plaque in the depot for all $1,000 donors. Use the
donation form on the back page of this newsletter. For
more information about the plaques you can contact
Charlie Becker at (319) 465-5916, ext. 2100, or send him

with campers. Individuals, groups, and organizations
are welcome. Please contact Shannon Poe, Volunteer
Director, by e-mail at spoe@campcourageous.org or

Do you have a car, truck, or RV that
you’d like to donate to Camp Courageous? Are you
donating your vehicle so it can be sold to allow the camp
to benefit from its sale? Please visit the camp’s web site
at www.campcourageous.org for more information on

a percentage of your auctions to the

program. 10% to 100% of your auction
can go to Camp Courageous automatically.
It’s a great way to promote your auctions since visitors

goes to a great charity. To participate, simply use the
charity option as you list your items on eBay. For additional
details and information you can visit eBay and click on the
“Giving Works” link on their home page.
Lake Todd Project
A 30-acre land acquisition has allowed for the
construction of a lake at Camp Courageous. By having

You can help defray the costs of constructing Lake Todd
by contributing towards this project. A plaque will display
the names or wording of choice for all $1,000 donors.

choice, will be put on the block as a lasting reminder of
your gift to the camp.

How can I help?
Camp Courageous continues to operate on
donations, without government assistance, without
formal sponsorship, and without paid fund-raisers.
What this means is that everything that is given to the
Camp, goes directly to benefit the campers. One of
the reasons the Camp has grown from serving 211
campers in 1974 to nearly 6,500 campers today, is
the incredible dedication of volunteers. Volunteer
help is needed in virtually every aspect of the camp.
Please consider volunteering your time and talents to
Camp Courageous.
Where can I get more info?
