PMCI Golf Outing 

A huge THANK YOU to the Petroleum 

Marketers and Convenience Stores 

of Iowa for their exceptional efforts in 

making the 17th Annual Golf Outing 

for Camp the best! From gathering up 

players, to soliciting sponsorships and 

donations, and of course Mulligan sales 

– they were an awesome team! Thanks 

Denny Donlea for stepping up as the 

new Chairperson this year and to Pete 

Reinertsen for continuing to sell those 

Mulligans. The history of the Camp 

Courageous Golf Outing has always 

been closely associated with the men 

and women of Consolidated Energy/ 

Hartland Fuels. The camp appreciates 

the leadership they continue to provide. 

We know Norb Bahl is looking down 

with pride at the members and staff at 

PMCI and how they continue to keep his 

dream alive!

RoughRiders & Lynch 

team-up to support Camp 

For the third consecutive year Lynch Ford 

and the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders have 

joined together to raise money for Camp 

Courageous. Each season, the RoughRiders 

wear Lynch Ford sponsored warm up jerseys 

before each game. At the conclusion of each 

season, these jerseys have been auctioned 

off with all proceeds benefiting the camp. 

Thank you to the generosity of Lynch Ford 

and RoughRider fans. Lynch has been 

wonderful to camp, through the Gala and so 

much more. (L-R) From Dan Lynch Ford Joe 

Kirby, V.P.; Lisa Lansing, BDC & Internet; Dan 

Lynch, President; and from the RoughRiders, 

Jeff Jauch, President & CEO and Mark Meyer 

Corporate Partnership Director. 

LimoLink, located in Marion, once again 

brought to camp a huge crew of volunteers 

to help with a variety of indoor and outdoor 

activities. A special thank you to Board 

Member Chris Wiese for organizing the day. 

When LimoLink is at Camp, a ton of work 

gets done! 

Every camper that comes to Camp 

Courageous is given a free t-shirt… which 

represents thousands of t-shirts. Someone 

has to taken them out of the box, sort, fold, 

and place them on shelves. This was a talent 

quickly learned....but also quickly forgotten 

after leaving camp. 

Board Member, Chris Wiese presents a 

check from LimoLink to Camp Courageous. 

This is an incredible organization dedicated 

to giving back to their communities. 

(L) Counselors Brittany Powell of 

Palmyra, MO and (R) Caroline Hayward

Justin Harford of Iowa City as they wait 

for their turn to go horseback riding. 

Justin had a great time at camp. His 

counselors awarded him the Archery 

Award at the end of his week, an activity 

that he really enjoyed. We hope to see 

Justin back again soon!

Handicap This! is a true story that 

started in 2001 and continues to this 

day. Mike Berkson and Tim Wambach 

hope this show will further their message 

of ‘Judgment Not Allowed’ and inspire 

all of us to do more with what we have. 

Handicap This! will stir your senses, 

challenge your thinking and wake up 

your attitude. It’s a look at breaking 

down barriers and living with handicaps.

wonderful donation of paper products and 

other much needed items. We always look 

forward to working with this group. 

Thank you to Betty 

Artus of Dubque, who 

continues to collect tabs, 

card fronts, and a lot of 

much needed items for 

camp.

to present the camp program to them 

annually. This is a fun group, and along with 

a club check, they passed the hat for camp! 

Lavonne Koppy and Elaine “Skip” Sorgenfrey 

with the Durant Lioness’ made a wonderful 

donation of plastic ware. These ladies visited 

camp during the Omelet Breakfast and they

Thank you to Laura Johnston of Anamosa 

who moved from her condo into something 

smaller in Anamosa, and in so doing needed 

to down size, so she decided the extra items 

could go to Camp Courageous. Camp used 

almost everything and what could not be 

used headed to the Camp’s Garage Sale... 

all to benefit camp. Helping Laura are her 

sons Tom and Dick Conrad. Laura has two 

other sons, Jerry and Denny. A great family! 

Drawing will be 

held on Sunday,

For many years Rose Nuernberger, from 

Bettendorf, volunteered at the local nursing 

home doing arts and crafts projects with the 

residents through the “Our Nursing Home 

Craft Ministry.” Unable to continue with her 

volunteer work, she decided she would like 

to donate all her project material and patterns 

to Camp Courageous. Shown are Ken and 

Rose Nuernberger and board member Jim 

Klinger (who helped load the items and 

deliver them to camp.) 

The Benton County Legion Auxiliary took 

camp on as a project by collecting items from 

the needs list. Shown is a sample of their 

generous donation that filled the vehicle of 

President Vickie Holst. Thank you Vicki and 

Benton County Legion Auxiliary. Camp is so 

grateful for your generosity! 

James Strickell and his grandson, Nathan 

Eiben, donated 12 bird houses and 2 bird 

feeders to camp. These bird houses and 

feeders, handcrafted by James, will be a nice 

addition to the nature program and campers 

will enjoy them for many years to come. 

The Iowa State 4-H leaders held a retreat 

earlier this year and distributed camp’s needs 

list. This group certainly came through! They 

collected a huge donation of items ranging 

from medical supplies, arts and crafts items, 

paper products, bubble wrap to stamps! 

Diana Cox, from Iowa City, organized and 

delivered the generous donation. Camp is 

very grateful to this thoughtful group. While 

Diana was at camp, she and her family 

enjoyed a tour. 


Had a wonderful visit 

with camp supporter and 

community advocate, 

Norma Mulligan 

Denlinger of Dubuque. 

Norma and the Becker 

Family go back 80+ 

years to childhood 

friends. I recently had 

the opportunity to 

spend an afternoon with 

Norma. She is incredibly 

involved in her community from United 

Way to the Board of the Dubuque Racing 

Association and dozens of organizations in 

between. When I arrived for my 1 PM visit, 

Norma was just returning from a meeting, 

representing United Way with our friend, 

Gary Gansmer, Director of Hillcrest Family 

Services. In 2006, Norma received the First 

Citizen Award in Dubuque. She exemplifies 

the finest things in life and believes to give 

is to receive. When visiting about a variety 

of subjects, one comment Norma made, has 

stuck with me… “Who am I to judge someone 

else, when I have not walked in their shoes?” 

She is a brilliant lady and our visit will be one 

I will always remember and I feel blessed our 

paths have crossed. 

Charles and Bev Daws were multi-tasking 

in late March when they made a delivery 

to camp from 2 different organizations. Bev 

belongs to the Hope UCC Quilters as well 

as the VFW Ladies Aux. #788. The quilters 

were busy this winter making 16 fun, colorful 

quilts for the campers to enjoy. The VFW 

Ladies Aux. #788 were also busy collecting 

5,879 card fronts! Camp is so thankful to 

have friends like these folks. 

A big thank you to Brian Gay, who, along 

with the Dubuque Advertiser (Greg Birkett) 

put on the Annual Fishing Event For Camp 

Courageous. A big success!

Hawkeye Tailgate 

for Camp Courageous 

An incredible day was had by campers during the 7th Annual 

Hawkeye Tailgate for Camp Courageous. Members of the University 

of Iowa football team, coaches, and staff met with campers and their 

families. 

University of Iowa Seniors, along with 

Coach Ferentz, sit behind a line of tables 

to sign the camper items, along with 

pennants provided by PMCI. 

It was a treat to have the Linn-Mar 

Success Center attend this year’s 

event. A tremendous program with great 

students, instructors, aids, and support 

team! 

Thank you to the 5th District Jim Beam Clubs 

for collecting items and money to support 

the camp. The local Five Seasons Club is 

particularly good to camp by recommending the 

donations be made to Camp Courageous. 

Thank you to 

these sponsors 

for helping make 

possible the 

University of Iowa 

Hawkeye Football 

Team Experience. 

The key players for the camp team are 

(L-R) Chic Ejiasi, Director of Player 

Development at the Univ. of Iowa; 

Bonnie Davis with Martin Bros., who is 

responsible for the tremendous picnic 

meal for campers and players; Sandy 

Bland with the Petroleum Marketers of 

Iowa, who provided the great pennants 

this year the campers loved having 

the players and coach sign; Stacey 

Thompson, formerly with Kum & Go, and 

continues to play the key role in having 

all the pieces come together, and her 

husband Matt Thompson, representing 

Gilcrest Lumber, a sponsor of the 

event. Matt has been involved since the 

beginning. It is a great team!

Cruisin’ for Camp Courageous a big success! 

Thank you Cedar Valley Street Rods for 25 Wonderful Years! 

In 1985 the Cedar Valley Street Rods 

(CVSR) began a relationship with Camp 

Courageous as a result of Life Investor’s 

25th Anniversary celebration. LI had 

a sports car they were raffling off, with 

the proceeds to go to Camp Courageous. 

Several CVSR members came to LI and 

bought a good number of tickets. From 

those humble beginnings was born a 

relationship that has included fund raisers 

and volunteer activities… there has been 

no aspect of camp they have not been a 

part. 

Cruisin’ for Camp Courageous had 

its start in 1988 as an out growth of Jim 

Dalton’s WMT Rock-n-Roll Reunion. 

In 1988 the future of the Rock-n-Roll 

Reunion was in question, so a group of 

Cedar Valley Street Rod folks and others 

joined forces to start “Cruisin’ For Camp 

Courageous” with the first event held in 

downtown Cedar Rapids.

www.jonesregional.org 

Pictured are some of the members of the 

Cedar Valley Street Rods who put the 

Cruisin’ event on each year. It takes a lot of 

time and dedication by this group and others. 

Due to all the expenses affiliated with a 

downtown event it was decided to move 

the event to Toys R Us the next year and 

then the Amanas. Once again, due to costs 

that were going to be added to the show 

it moved in 1993 and 1994 to the Great 

Jones County Fair grounds. Finally, in 

1995, Cruisin’ for Camp Courageous was 

moved to the camp where it set a record 

with more than 200 cars registering for the 

annual event (doubling the number of cars 

in 1994). 

The 2012 show had 400 show cars around the camp grounds with a record amount of 

money raised for the camp! Special Thank You to Mary and Brad Johnson, along with the 

committee that have hung in there over the years, when it would have been easy to say this 

is too much work. They didn’t… for that we are very grateful. 

Thank you to our good friends at Clipper 

Turbine Works in Cedar Rapids for having 

a car show for Camp Courageous. Above 

are Larry Adard, Dean Brown and Dave 

Wheatley. Dave has been active in Cruisin' 

For Camp Courageous since it began. 

Once again, Karri Parrot had her annual 

holiday party and requested no gifts, but 

instead, a donation of needed items for 

camp. Her friends really came through! Karri 

and Brett Zuck delivered the items and did 

some shopping in the camp store. 


Camp Courageous is run on donations, without government assistance, without formal sponsorship, or paid fund raisers. 

What this means is that everything that is given to camp; whether it be food, time, materials, or financial support; goes 

directly to benefit over 6,000 individuals with special needs who are touched by the camp each year. Listed below are those 

who have contributed money, time, and/or supplies from March 21, 2012 to June 19, 2012.

Camp Courageous has been awarded 

a $40,000 grant from the Dubuque 

Racing Association to be applied 

toward the installation of a bridge 

that will provide safe access from one 

side of the camp’s new Lake Todd to 

the other. The DRA grant committee 

members recognized the importance 

of this project and the safety provided 

for over 6,000 individuals with 

specials needs served at camp each 

year who will be using the bridge. It 

will provide a low risk environment 

for campers to fish and allows campers 

with walkers and wheelchairs to easily 

cross and access the new lake pavilion 

for activities. 

Last year the DRA provided a grant 

that was applied toward the installation 

of a perimeter fence around the lake 

property. They have been friends 

of camp for many years providing 

funding toward projects including 

a bus and mini-bus, a water system 

for camp, purchasing defibrillators, 

building the Jungle Gym, furnishing 

the staff dorm, and purchasing office 

furniture for the visitor’s center.

Dear Charlie Becker and all Camp 

Courageous staff, 

...Our family wanted to extend our 

appreciation to all of you for your 

excellent work in offering the adult camp 

this past week. Peter had a great time and 

I know how much preparation and hard 

work- every day- and every hour ,each and 

every one of you do to assure that these 

weeks’ are successful and fun. We want to 

thank you for the individual attention and 

care with which you carry out your due 

diligence. 

In a week like this past one with such a 

full house, the organization and details of 

that care show. Camp Courageous carries 

a strong reputation with us and so many 

other families and campers based on this 

hard work. We thank you all. It is a terrific 

enrichment opportunity for Peter and he 

thoroughly enjoys coming. 

In our case we know that Peter loves 

coming because all of you are so attentive 

to his wants and needs. Your patience and 

good will are evident in his reports. The 

fact that each of you knows his name and 

use it (even when he can’t remember your 

names all the time—or ever!) is testimony. 

He loves that people want to know about 

him. 

To each of you, who help to ensure a 

safe, clean, productive, orderly, and fun 

environment, please know that your work 

shows and is highly valued by families and 

dozens of caregivers. One only has to 

watch at the end of the week to see the 

impact on the faces of departing campers. 

In Peter’s case, he was tearful with 

gratitude and joy when I first asked him if 

he had enjoyed himself. In summary, we 

are grateful and indebted that your love 

for these special folk is transparent and 

heartfelt. 

Sincerely, 

Peter's Parents

The Story of Alice Quint Miligan 

I had the good fortunate of meeting Alice 

M. Quint Milligan over 30 years ago as a hardworking 

and dedicated Camp Courageous 

Manchester Garage Sale volunteer. Her strong 

work ethic and spirited personality, drew me to 

her immediately. Alice recently passed away 

at the age of 100. I have a love for history, 

particularly when it comes to me first hand 

from a person that lived it. Alice was very 

open about sharing her memories....so with 

the help of Margie McFadden, Alice’s niece, 

here are a few highlights of a fascinating life. 

Alice had been born February 19th, 1912 to 

John and Sophia Hemmer Quint. She started 

early helping take care of the family and farm 

work. At 13 she cooked, cleaned, canned and 

babysat for another couple for 2-dollars-aweek, 

which she gave to her parents to help 

with family expenses. After this she went 

to work for the Shears to help in the house, 

but ended up milking cows, and as Alice 

explained, being a “hired man” on the farm. 

All this again for $2.00 a week until she was 

15 or 16 years-of-age. From there she went 

to work at the County Home as a cook for 

4-years. 

At the age of 20 she came to Cedar Rapids 

to work for the Killian Family. Mrs. 

Killian was ill at the time. Alice remembers 

taking her own light bulb which was a higher 

wattage so she could see to do her needle 

work. Alice had to hide it or take it with her 

when she had a day off, as Mrs. Killian would 

replace it with a lower wattage. This was in the 

30’s and 40’s. 

Alice left the Killian’s to help her sisterin-law 

who was sick at the time. In 1947 the 

butler and cleaning lady for Howard Hall 

came looking for Alice to ask her to work 

as a cook for the Halls. Alice believed the 

Killians referred her to them. Alice explained 

that she was just a country girl and country 

cook. Alice also wanted to wait until after her 

brother’s wedding in a few days. They agreed 

so after the wedding she started work for the 

Halls. Alice remembers the first night there 

when Leo the Lion roared. It nearly scared 

her to death. Alice enjoyed her time with the 

Halls. Alice described the Halls as just regular

Alice at Brucemore by the ice box in the 

kitchen where she spent most of her time 

as cook. 

people. They both helped Alice learn to set the 

table for special dinners. Howard was known 

to step into the kitchen to help prepare special 

dishes. Alice cooked for many dignitaries 

including a President, company leaders, and 

many foreign guests. Alice left Brucemore to 

marry in 1949. 

Over Alice’s young life she saved and also 

gave to her parents to help them with expenses. 

She bought a farm South of Delhi, Iowa where 

her parents lived until her marriage when she 

and her husband moved in. She worked the 

farm and kept the house with her husband for 

many years. When they retired she moved 

to Manchester, IA. There she worked in the 

kitchen of a restaurant, walking to and from 

work, never missing a day because of the 

weather or illness. She volunteered many 

places. Alice told many the one most dear to 

her heart was the volunteer work she did for 


Alice had a great personality and sense 

of humor. Some dear friends brought her to 

a casino and introduced her to a big, strong, 

security officer working the main door as their 

99 year-old friend. The security officer told 

Alice she better be good, or they would need to 

remove her. Alice looked around the security 

officer and replied, “You and who else?” 

Alice received the Governor’s Volunteer 

Award by Governor Terry Branstad. We feel 

blessed our paths crossed with Alice Milligan, 

who leaves a wonderful legacy behind.

Marginal Note: Most people have never learned that one of the main aims in life is to enjoy it. 

(L-R) Camper Ella Stewart of Bettendorf, IA is 

pictured with Counselor Mary Pistek of Garner, 

IA. It’s easy to see why Ella’s counselors gave 

her the “Biggest Smile” award after her fun 

week at camp. 

Thank you to Ambrose 

Koopmann from Epworth, IA 

for donating our bottle fed 

baby goats. Our babies have 

grown since they arrived at 

camp. We have 5 male goats 

and the campers have had so 

much fun bottle feeding these sweet guys. 

Thank you to The Roller’s 

- Ed, Sharon, & Charlie, 

and to Jim Wullner for all 

the hard work on a new 

horse cart. The cart is 

wheelchair accessible 

and can have up to four 

campers with counselors 

during a fun-filled ride. 

We are very thankful for all the work they have 

done to put a smile on the campers. 

Thank you to the 

Petco Foundation 

for the generous donation of pet 

supplies and animal food. We are 

so grateful for their support.

Those who attend Camp Courageous 

have spent the entire year eagerly 

anticipating what the week holds and one 

of their most prized possessions is… 

“THE T-SHIRT” 

Would you be interested 

in sponsoring camper 

T-shirts and join the existing 

sponsors you see below? 

16 

T-shirts are ordered throughout the 

year making it easy for sponsors to be 

added at anytime. Space on the back 

of the T-shirt for your logo or name for 

an entire year is 

$1,000 for 3.5” x 3” space 

$2,500 for 5” x 3” space 

$5,000 for 7” x 3” space 

With over 6,000 campers in 2011 what 

better way to show you care? 

Make this the year you bring a smile to 

the face of another camper! 

Contact Pam Mayo for more details at 

319-465-5916 ext. 2120. 

(L-R) This group of 

campers, in their 

Camp Courageous 

T-shirts, are 

pictured during 

the Friday awards 

ceremony. They 

are Stephen Augie 

of Des Moines, 

Adam Lee of 

Ankeny, Brad Garbett of Moline, IL, and Adam 

Larson of Iowa City. Every camper gets a free 

T-shirt at the end of their week. Thank you to 

all of the sponsors that help make these shirts 

possible. For many individuals, it’s a shirt they 

cherish all year long. 

Thank you to the Bettendorf Lions Club for 

giving Camp the opportunity to give them a 

program. A super group that was genuinely 

very interested in the camp and how they can 

help and visit in the future.

Nice note from Sandy Bland who 

is originally from Eastern Iowa 

and is now with the Petroleum 

Marketers and Convenience Stores 

of Iowa. Sandy and her daughter 

volunteered a few days at CC. She 

writes: 

“Dear Charlie, Shannon, & Staff, 

Thank you so much for fitting 

Kendra and I into your program. 

We enjoyed volunteering and 

getting to see things first hand. 

You have a great facility and 

a very enthusiastic staff. We 

enjoyed getting to spend time 

with the campers and seeing their 

excitement at the dance and awards 

ceremony.”

Remembering Jack Steele 

We have so many 

fond memories of 

Jack Steele starting 

in 1978 with his role 

at United Airlines and 

the Pineapples for 

People Campaign for 


Jack, along with 

Marty Kloska, Phil 

Martin, and the whole United Family 

were so good to camp. 

In later years, it was Jack who would 

find the truck to load pineapples that 

were coming in at all hours and then 

find cooler space to store them until 

the sale. Tait & Dotty Cummins, were 

also great fans of Jack… they were all 

so dedicated. 

We all thought the world of Jack. 

He leaves a huge void in our lives 

and the lives of so many others he 

touched with his kindness… but 

what a beautiful legacy he leaves 

behind. Jack requested that all of his 

memorials go to Camp Courageous. 

Pictured (L) is Jack Steele when he 

assisted with the shipment of fresh 

pineapples for the Pineapples For 

People event. With Jack is Diane Hanna 

representing CRST… both deceased. 

For over 30 years 

Laverne Zumbach was 

involved with Camp 

Courageous. For most 

of those years he would 

entertain campers 

with his miniature 

horses, providing them 

rides, along with the 

opportunity to pet and 

care for the miniatures. 

Laverne was a huge hit 

with the campers, who fell in love with the 

miniature horses instantly. He even donated 

some miniatures to camp for the campers to 

enjoy the year round. Along with the miniature 

horses, Lavern would donate everything that 

was needed to feed and care for them, so 

there would be no cost to camp. Laverne was 

a wonderful man, with a heart of gold who 

never realized all the hearts he touched at 

Camp Courageous. Camp’s sympathy goes 

out to Marlene, along with their family and 

friends. -Charlie 

Camp’s friend, Bob 

Boehmke, of Walford, has 

passed away. Bob and 

his wife, Ruby, have been 

involved in camp for many 

years, individually and 

through the Five Seasons 

Beamer Club. Bob and 

Rudy are one of those 

couples that are always 

there for camp. Our 

sympathy goes out to Ruby, along with family 

and friends. Bob asked that his memorials go 

to Camp Courageous. 

The camp’s sympathy 

goes out to the family 

and friends of Rich 

Muszynski. Rich and 

his family were loyal 

supporters of the 

camp for years. Rich 

was a person who 

always put the needs 

of others first. He later 

became an inspiration 

to many of us, as he battled illness for nearly 

two decades. He was gracious in what he 

was dealt. Rich had the philosophy of, “do it 

right, and do it right away…” maybe knowing 

his time was limited. Rich Muszynski was a 

character. He loved a good joke, and could 

remember and deliver a joke. Rich asked 

that his memorials go to Camp Courageous. 

Rich’s legacy lives on in the wonderful people 

he leaves behind, particularly his wife, Ruth 

Ann; daughter, Lisa; and son, Chad. 

Marie Swope recently 

passed away. Marie was 

a wonderful lady who was 

incredibly involved in her 

community. Marie helped 

Camp Courageous grow 

from serving 211 campers 

with special needs back 

in the summer of 1974 

to over 6,000 today. She 

helped sell pineapples for the camp, raffle 

tickets for a sports car Life Investors was 

giving away on their 25th Anniversary, with 

the proceeds going to camp, and so much 

more. I have Marie’s picture on my office 

wall from LI’s 25th Anniversary Celebration 

presenting a check, which at that time, was 

the biggest fund raiser in the history of camp. 

Marie has been dearly missed, but what a 

beautiful legacy she leaves behind. 

Our warm sympathy 

goes out to the family 

and friends of Kermit 

Doolittle, who has 

passed away at the age 

of 100. When Camp 

Courageous began its 

relationship with the 

Petroleum Marketers 

of Iowa, Kermit was 

among the first to jump 

on board with his support back in 1981. That 

support never wavered. We always knew we 

had a friend in Webster City no matter what 

we needed. Kermit was a wonderful man. 

What a beautiful legacy he leaves behind…. 

-Charlie 

Marginal Note: The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions. 

We were saddened 

to hear of the passing 

of Margo Ahrendsen’s 

mother, Rosemary 

Tumey. Rosemary had 

a fascinating life, starting 

in Canada and ending in 

Ryan. Like Margo, she 

was a very hard working 

and dedicated person. 

Our deepest sympathy 

goes out to Margo, her family, and friends. 

Rosemary asked that her memorials go to 


For years Joe & Rosie 

Peiffer of Cascade, IA 

would donate tons of 

sweet corn to Camp 

Courageous... enough 

that during those years 

the camp never bought 

corn. They, along with 

their wonderful friends 

would do everything from 

picking the corn to putting 

the finished product in the camp freezers. 

Joe & Rosie continued to collect pop tabs 

and seemed to never miss a camp breakfast. 

Joe will be dearly missed… 

Kay Yaw of Hampton IA 

brought happiness to 

more children with special 

needs, than he ever 

realized. He produced 

thousands of wood toys 

and puzzles that were 

given to the special 

campers who attended 

Camp Courageous. Each 

was a treasure to the camper and it 

symbolized their wonderful time at camp. We 

will dearly miss Kay. He brightened so many 

lives with his labor of love. 

Camp Courageous’ 

sympathy goes out to the 

family of Irene Shima from 

Solon. Irene’s husband 

of sixty-one years, Glenn 

stopped by camp with his 

daughter, Kayleen and her 

husband Mike Gardner 

(other family members are Connie & Dick 

Friedl and Emily & Kelly Friedl). Irene was a 

wonderful supporter of the camp and wanted 

to make sure her memorials came to Camp 

Courageous. The Family decided to put the 

memorial into the the Camp’s Perpetual Fund 

(Foundation) where Irene’s memorials will 

give to Camp Courageous forever. 

In the April 2012 edition 

of the Courier we wished 

Manchester Garage Sale 

Volunteer, Alice Milligan, 

a happy 100th birthday. 

Unfortunately, shortly 

after that she took a fall 

and broke her hip and 

never recovered from 

the trauma. She lived 

an exceptional life, caring for Mr. Killian, 

working for Howard Hall at Brucemore for 

years, all in Cedar Rapids and working on a 

farm in the Manchester area. She loved her 

volunteer work for Camp Courageous and 

she requested her memorials go to the camp.

Congratulations to State Commander of 

Iowa VFW, Danny White and State of Iowa 

President of the VFW Auxiliary, Connie 

Bauer on their wonderful year leading the 

Iowa VFW and Auxiliary! 

Thank you to Ken and Bev Johnston who 

dropped off tabs, items Bev made for the 

campers, and a check. Ken and I go back 

to 1980, when he was State Commander 

of the V.F.W, with Marj Byam as President 

of the Auxiliary and Camp Courageous was 

their project. It was a time when few had 

heard about the camp. Ken & Bev now spend 

winters in Arizona and summers in Minnesota, 

but always stop by the camp. 

Board President, Aaron Cook (L) presents

Thank you to Mike McClain, P.E. The Jones 

County Engineer for donating to Camp 

this huge Mickey Mouse which the campers 

love to no end! It is currently located in the 

camp's office with campers enjoying their 

visits with Mickey! Thank you Mike for the gift, 

and as you prepare to retire we are grateful 

for your years of service to Jones County 

and for always being a dear friend of Camp 

Courageous. 

Camp Courageous has been extremely 

fortunate to have the Camp Courageous 

Third Wednesday Bridge Club actively 

supporting camp since 1979! This wonderful 

group included Dotty Cummins, and still 

includes Honorary Board Member Liz Valliere 

and long time board member Kay Pitlik, along 

with many other active supporters of camp. A 

super group of ladies! 

Congratulations to camp's dear friends, 

Dien Nguyen and Ngan Cao on their 

recent wedding! Dien is the food service 

manager at the Marion Hy-Vee and Ngan is a 

cosmetologist and floral designer. They don't 

come any finer! 

Bill Smith (R) and his mother Dorothy (L), 

accepted a check for $1000.00 to Camp 

Courageous from the H.J. Heinz Company, 

Dorothy has worked in the Camp Courageous 

nursing department for many years. 

Richard Rossmann from Preston delivered 

a trunk load of paper goods and large cans 

of vegetables to camp. The Preston Lions 

Club collected this generous donation. 

Richard and the Preston Lions have been 

good friends of camp for many years and we 

are very grateful to them. 

Eleanor Leazer and Bernice Koberg 

presented a check to Camp Courageous on 

behalf of the Durant Royal Neighbors of 

America. This group has been supportive of 

camp for many years and their generosity is 

greatly appreciated. 

Thank you to Jacque Lahr and her students, 

along with Lambert Elementary School in 

Manchester where they collected 109 pounds 

of tabs this year. Their total for this year was 

143,008 tabs. They have now collected for 

15 years and their total pounds of tabs in 

that time is 1,852 1/2. Or 2,430,948 tabs!! 

Unbelievable! Super students, teachers, and 

support staff!

Thank you to Jim and Betty Jane White, 

pictured with their little friend Molly, for 

participating in the Cases for Camp benefit 

put on by Fareway Stores for Camp 

Courageous. Fareway allowed customers to 

buy cases of food for the camp at a reduced 

cost. Normally, Fareway would take care of 

delivery, but the Whites personally dropped 

off their contribution. Thank you to the Whites 

and to the Fareway Stores participating in 

this year’s event. 

Thank you to Tom Schwartz, formerly of the 

Lowden Lions, for inviting Camp Courageous 

to give a program to the Eldridge Lions. 

There was a large crowd of great camp 

supporters for the program. The group had 

been collecting things for camp and they 

overflowed a car with their kindness! Special 

thanks to Lorenz and Marian Behrends who 

provided a huge supply of items. Super 

Group and a great night! 

We enjoyed working with Stephani Chappel, 

manager of the Monticello Pizza Ranch 

on their benefit for Camp Courageous. 

Also a special thank you to Brad Davis, 

from Manchester who is the owner of the 

Monticello Pizza Ranch. Great food and 

a great time! Half of all sales for a special 

Saturday went to camp! 

Marginal Note: There is no wealth but life. 

Fareway Stores & Camp 

teamed up for… 

The Cases For Camp campaign 

held in March allowed Fareway 

shoppers to donate food at case 

prices to Camp Courageous. 

THANK YOU… to those who 

participated and to the 

Fareway Stores that help make 

this happen. Fareway provides the 

cases at cost and the camp will be 

able to redeem 191 cases of food 

products throughout the year as 

needed by the campers. 

Happy Birthday to Frank Smith on his 88th! 

A loyal camp supporter, he headed up a 

number of Big Band events at camp and is 

just a "Great American!" 

A special thank you to Joan Bartenhagen 

and Linda Shoppa for stopping by Camp 

Courageous with memorials for their 

dad, Merle Glenney from Muscatine who 

recently passed away. They also have two 

brothers, Gary and Dwight. Their memorial 

money went toward providing medical 

supplies for the camp. Merle and recently 

deceased board member, Harland Hetzler, 

were the same age and good friends in 

Muscatine. 

Special thank you to the Stutsman Family, 

who once again came through with pallets of 

salt and a pallet of bentonite to help the camp 

with the water system. Stutsman's have been 

so good to camp, going back to the founder, 

Eldon Stutsman, a regular visitor to the camp. 

Here Jim Hochstedler from Stutsman stands 

along side several pallets of salt. 

A huge thank you to the DeWitt High School 

Leo Club for collecting a large supply of toilet 

paper for camp and their willingness to come 

and volunteer at camp! Great students! 

Camp Courageous was fortunate to host this 

group representing the Monticello Chamber 

of Commerce. Camp Courageous has 

been very fortunate to be a part of this great 

community!

It was a special honor for me to return 

to the high school I use to teach at, 

before coming to Camp Courageous, 

33-years ago, to learn of their interest 

in doing something special for Camp 

Courageous. Sheri Lampe (Sheryl 

Erickson, as a student) (right) was key 

toward putting all this together. Sheri 

has given endless hours toward helping 

the camp over the years. With Sheri is 

my former principal, Richard Denley, 

and his daughter, Angela Moore, who 

is now a counselor at Central Lee. We 

had a wonderful potluck and it was a 

treat to see former teachers who came 

back and students, who now work within 

the school system. - Charlie 

Students watched a video about the 

camp, to get a feel for where they were 

volunteering. 

The students and staff put in a huge 

work day, accomplishing a lot and 

enjoying their stay. Many are interested 

in coming back and being on the staff. 

Many great counselors, like Haley 

Burgess and Hannah Seyb had their 

roots at Central Lee. 

Thank you to the 

Iowa City Old 

Capital Kiwanis for 

their recent donation. 

Along with their 

financial support, this 

group has donated 

plasticware for years. 

Ted Rettenmeyer 

started this project 

with Eldon Stutsman 

and it is carried on 

today by Al and Jan 

Wicks. Members have 

also come to camp to 

volunteer. Thank you! 

28 

A big thank you to Dr. Hill of DeWitt, who 

once again came through with his great day 

for Camp Courageous collecting all kinds of 

needed supplies! 

The Kaplan University Nursing Students 

visited in May for tours and became 

acquainted with all camp has to offer. They 

were so impressed, they returned with this 

large donation of items from camp’s needs 

lists. These ladies are awesome and we 

appreciate their generous donations. 

A very big thank you to our wonderful group 

of volunteers from Excelsior Springs, MO. 

They come every year willing to work hard 

doing anything we ask of them. This year 

they helped lay track for the train expansion. 

Thanks to group leader Bev Claypool (back 

row, second from left) and everyone else for 

their dedication to camp. 

Once again Rod Christ and crew came out 

this spring and attacked the pile of logs at 

the camp. Everyone really appreciates their 

willingness to come out and help.

Abby Eiben from Hopkinton made a

Ziplock bags, bowls and other much needed 

items. It is wonderful to see the generosity of 

young people like Abby. Thank you so much! 

Denny Zahrt (center) was so impressed 

with “Gordy & Debbie's Tribute To George 

Strait” that he lined them up in Branson to 

give a program in Davenport to benefit Camp 

Courageous. A nice turn out was on hand 

at Brubaker Masonic Lodge in Davenport 

to enjoy the Gordy and Debbie show. Great 

folks! 

Thank you to these Anamosa High School 

Ag students who volunteered at camp for a 

United Way Day of Caring. 


Anamosa High School students and 

teachers spent a day helping Camp 

Courageous. They widened trails, spread 

wood chips, planted flowers, washed buses, 

and more. Thank you to this group for all of 

their hard work! 

We are very grateful to the Delmar Lions 

and their friends for spending a day, 

cutting up down trees and working in the 

woods. A tremendous amount of work was 

accomplished, thanks to this great group! 

The Soroptimist Club of Cedar Rapids and 

Marion spent a morning volunteering at camp 

in late March. As usual this fantastic group 

came ready to work! They folded thousands 

of camper t-shirts and sorted them so they 

will be ready for the campers to enjoy. It’s 

always a treat to work with this wonderful 

group. L-R: Shirley Smith, Theresa Lent, 

Abby Lent, Karen Vlasek, Carrie van Houten, 

Becky Moser, Camp Board Member Mary 

Van Houten, and Linda Stoll. 

Once again, camp was fortunate to have a 

wonderful group of nursing students from 

NICC in Peosta. Their wonderful instructor, 

Mary Hoeger, always brings a terrific group 

and they make a big impact on the campers’ 

respite experience. Thanks to Mary and her 

students, Danielle Sarazin, Betsi Borland, 

Desiree Kline, Sandy DeBuhr, Tami Clark, 

Erica Thoeni, Emily LeGrand, Megan Freund, 

Ali Neuses, and Lacy Loudon. 

Thanks once again to Crista Weber from 

the University of Dubuque for sending 

us a wonderful group of nursing students 

to help with a respite care weekend. The 

students worked as volunteer counselors for 

a weekend this spring and the campers really 

enjoyed getting to know them. 

Thanks to Deanna Licht and the Senior 

High Fellowship group from Zion UCC in 

Lowden for spending a day at camp. The 

group came on their day off from school 

to help with spring clean-up in the woods 

at camp. They moved a lot of brush and 

eradicated a lot of garlic mustard. 

Each year a group from Stanwood assists 

with cutting up ham for the Omelet Breakfast. 

Pictured are (L-R) Wayne and Jo Brown, 

Karen Tenley, Megan Meyer, Carol Worby, 

Judy and Ray Linder, Larry Hartig (Mt. 

Vernon), and Dean Wolfe. 

Thank you to Roman Welter (kneeling with 

a cane) who hosted his fellow soldiers from 

the 3/34th and 2/21st Infantry Battalion of 

the Korean War. Each in their 80s, the group 

has gone from over 100 members, to far less. 

From seven states, it was an honor for Camp 

Courageous to have them tour the camp. 

This wonderful group of veterans, lost several 

of their dear friends in war and since. We are 

also grateful for their donation and many kind 

words for the work being done! 

Marginal Note: We can’t plan life. All we can do is be available for it. 

Marge Bohlken of 

Anamosa is the latest 

person to be added to 

the group of people that 

are volunteering to be 

apple peelers in the Camp 

Courageous kitchen. 

Their efforts will pay off 

all summer and fall and campers enjoy 

applesauce, apple deserts, and more! Thank 

you to Marge and all the volunteers. 

The “Chick Click” traveled all the way from 

Horton, KS to deliver a large donation of 

paper products, foods, maintenance items, 

arts and crafts supplies and other needed 

items. Mr. and Mrs. Kirk Gaskell (L) learned 

of camp through their involvement with the 

Power Wagon group. Loann and Gregg 

Morton from Fairfield are also members of 

this group and are real champions of Camp 

Courageous. Their son, Patrick, was a former 

camper who loved his time at camp. The 

Morton’s told the Gaskells how wonderful 

camp is and they passed this on to their 

friends. All were intrigued and wanted to 

learn more. They enjoyed the camp DVD and 

a tour and talked about possibly returning as 

volunteers. What a wonderful group to meet! 

Huge thanks to Shannon Duffy and the rest 

of the group from St. Stephen the Witness 

Catholic Student Center in Cedar Falls. 

They enjoyed a beautiful week during 

their spring break from UNI and helped as 

volunteer counselors. It was a beautiful week 

and everyone really appreciated all the work 

these students did for the campers. Group 

members include Vincent Chukwuemeka, 

Brittany Porter, Haley Brimmer, Courtney 

Derocher, Sarah Deutsch, Christina Ehlers, 

Peter Ickes, Molly Scullin, Lauren Schmitt, 

Ashley Hill, Melissa Airy, Jessica McEvoy, 

and Richard Thompson. 

North Linn National Honor Society 

students came to camp to help with projects 

around camp. They were a huge help!

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

Volunteering 

Nothing is more valuable and appreciated than your 

time. Help is needed from cutting grass to working 

with campers. Individuals, groups, and organizations 

are welcome. Please contact Shannon Poe, Volunteer 

Director, by e-mail at spoe@campcourageous.org or 

by phone at (319) 465-5916, ext. 2320 for information 

on how you or your group can volunteer at the camp. 

Vehicle Donations 

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 

how you can donate your car, RV, or other vehicle and 

compliance with IRS regulations. 

eBay Auctions 

Do you sell on eBay? You can donate 

a percentage of your auctions to the 

camp through eBay’s Mission Fish 

program. 10% to 100% of your auction 

can go to Camp Courageous automatically. 

It’s a great way to promote your auctions since visitors 

will see (through a special icon) that part of their payment 

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. 

Marginal Note: Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.

Lake Todd Project 

A 30-acre land acquisition has allowed for the 

construction of a lake at Camp Courageous. By having 

a lake at the camp, time and resources will be saved by 

not having to transport campers and staff to another lake 

that is 20 minutes away. 

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. 

Use the form on the back of this newsletter. For more 

information contact Charlie Becker at 319-465-5916, ext. 

2100 or e-mail charlie @campcourageous.org. 

Pool Blocks 

The Camp Courageous indoor pool was built one block 

at a time. It is one of the more popular activities for the 

campers. You can help support this activity by buying a 

pool block for $1,000. Your name, or the wording of your 

choice, will be put on the block as a lasting reminder of 

your gift to the camp. 

Use the donation form on the back page of this 

newsletter to purchase your pool block. For more 

information you can contact Charlie Becker at (319) 

465-5916, ext. 2100, or send E-mail to charlie@ 

campcourageous.org. 

United Way (Donor Option)

a United Way agency, we strongly encourage those that 

give to the United Way to choose “Camp Courageous” 

using the Donor Option form (special category). Camp 

has been fortunate to have donors from New York to San 

Francisco give through the United Way Donor Option.

Donation Form 

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 over 6,000 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? 

Please visit the camp’s web site at 

www.campcourageous.org, call the camp at 

319-465-5916, or stop out for a tour to see 

first-hand how the camp has grown over the 

past many years. 

Camp Courageous is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Use enclosed envelope or mail this form to: Camp Courageous, PO Box 418, Monticello IA 52310-0418
