Kay & Bill
Pitlik make
major gift
to Camp
Courageous
Kay Pitlik presents a check to Charlie Cummins,
one of camp’s first campers.
It seems fitting that this wonderful gift to Camp
Courageous was given just a few days after Kay Pitlik’s
birthday. Kay and Bill’s entire life has been about giving.
They have been a living testimony to the philosophy that,
“the more you give, the more it comes back to you, many
times over.”
The story goes, as the concept of a camp for individuals
with disabilities was being developed, WMT Sports
Broadcaster Tait Cummins, (whose son, Charlie is in the
picture above) was approached about helping and serving
on the camp board. They ended up with Tait’s support
and his wife, Dotty, as an active board member. Likewise,
Bill Pitlik was approached and camp received Bill’s
total support and Kay served on the board. The bond
between Kay and Dotty was like sisters. The four had
a lot in common, mainly those athletically gifted Iowa
Hawkeyes. Now it was also through those gifted in other
ways at Camp Courageous. Together, no challenge was
too big and together they spread the word that, “we are
more alike than we are different.”
For over 35 years Bill and Kay played a key role in
shaping what today is Camp Courageous. They have
actively been a part of the camp growing from serving
211 special campers during the summer of 1974 to
over 5,000 campers in a year-round program today and
from building those first 5 buildings in 1973 to over 25
buildings today.
In 1978 they were among the first to volunteer to sell
pineapples for the camp, which is still done today.
In 1980 the Pitliks were among the first to donate to a
2
newly established Perpetual Fund for the camp, which is
key to the stability of the camp today.
In 1994 the Pitliks funded the annexation of 30 acres to
the south of the camp. This 30-acres, the Pitlik Addition,
is a great wilderness area that came with it a first-right of
refusal to the 200 acre farm to the west of camp…one of
the most visionary moves in camp’s history.
As camp grew by leaps and bounds, Kay and Bill stepped
forward to fund “Pitlik Cabin” in 1997. This structure has
been used by for 10’s-of-thousands of campers.
In over 35-years of active involvement on the board,
there have been many opportunities for Kay to bail-out.
The road has not always been smooth. The early years
were very challenging, but never once did Kay and Bill
waiver in their support, loyalty, and dedication to the
mission of Camp Courageous.
Even with the death of Tait Cummins in 1984, Dotty in
1997, and Bill a few months ago, Kay continues to be the
glue who holds us all together.
There are no words that can express camp’s sincerest
appreciation to Bill and Kay Pitlik. They have been a
couple we have all looked up to, admired, and loved. This
gift will continue to build on an incredible legacy they
have left at Camp Courageous. They will never realize
the impact they have made in the lives of thousands of
campers with special needs.
Thank you, Kay, for a lifetime of dedication to making
Camp Courageous the wonderful facility it is today and
the wonderful facility it will be for future generations!

Hawkeye Tailgate Event
is huge hit with campers!
Alex
Thompson,
Stacey
Thompson, Coach Kirk Ferentz,
and Matt Thompson are key to
the success of this event. Stacey
coordinates every one and pulls off
this dream come true for over 100
campers. A special thank you to
Kirk Ferentz, who has always done
what ever he could to make sure this
event is a success. A class act...with
hearts of gold (and a little black,
too)!
Stacey commented, “this is one
of the most amazing events I have
ever been a part of.”
The event is such a hit with the
campers, this year over 150 campers,
parents and camp staff joined about
15 Hawkeyes, and Coach Ferentz
for lunch, tours and playtime at the
Bubble.”
Martin Bros. generously donated
lunch for the event, and Kum & Go
donated Hiland water and Menace
Maniac juice. PMCI designed and
donated nerf-style footballs for each
of the campers. They were covered
with autographs at the end of the
day.
The smiles on the campers’ faces
were enough to warm up the cool
rainy day.
Bill Krause (Kum & Go) spearheaded this event four-years ago
with a generous donation of a MiniBus to Camp Courageous.
Here is a great team! (L-R) Chigozie Ejiasi is
the Director of Player Development and did a
great job of coordinating the football players,
coaches and facilities to make this day the
thrill it was for campers. Stacey Thompson
(formerly with Kum & Go) coordinates the U
of I, PMCI, Kum & Go, Martin Bros. and Camp
Courageous... the go-to person! Andrea
Henry, Alyse Biondi, and Angie Witt are with
the Petroleum Marketers and Convenience
Stores of Iowa. They provided the footballs,
helped with check-in, and are helping Camp
Courageous the year-round.
Coach Ferentz signs items for camp's honorary
board member Tom Eggleston. These items
will be available for auction during the camp’s
Pineapple Gala on August 15th.
Coach Ferentz signs a football for a camper.
Footballs for all the campers were provided by
the Petroleum Marketers and Convenience
Stores of Iowa.
Campers did not have the opportunity to play
on the main field at Kinnick this year due to the
refurbishing going on. It was fascinating for all
to see this huge project.
The Martin Bros. Team is incredible. They
donated all the food for this huge event!
Camp Courageous of Iowa
Martin Brothers once again provided a huge
spread of food for everyone.
Thank you to the sponsors that helped make this day possible for the campers:

Monticello Pizza Ranch Benefit
It is always a treat to have Camp Courageous'
first director, Gary Turbes visit. Gary is spear
heading work on Camp High Hopes, which will
be patterned after Camp Courageous and be
located in Sioux City. Pictured is Gary Turbes;
Camp High Hopes Director, Ali Langseth,
and pilot Mark Kruse. Camp Courageous is
looking forward to helping Camp High Hopes
see those high hopes come true. Wonderful
individuals!
I have always had the utmost admiration for
Gary Turbes (L), camp's first director. It was
his vision and dedication and integrity that
started the camp out on the proper foundation
from which is has grown. Everything we do,
goes back to those roots. Gary moved to
Sioux City, after leaving camp in 1976 and has
grown Mid-Step Services into one of the largest
facilities of its sort. Mid-Step was founded
in 1977 in response to a community need
for comprehensive services for individuals
with mental disabilities. Gary started the
first Mid-Step program in Cherokee for six
individuals with four staff members. Over
the years Mid-Step has grown in response to
community needs. They currently manage
over 20 residential and vocational programs
in Cherokee, Lawton, Moville, Sergeant Bluff,
and Sioux City IA. Thank you Gary for blazing
the trail.-Charlie Becker

of all their receipts on Saturday, March 21 to
Camp Courageous. Pictured above (L-R)

Recker; and Board Member Steve Supple.
Camp Courageous supplied over 20-volunteers to help the Pizza Ranch
staff and to thank those who attended. Special thanks to Beth, who has the
wonderful personality that really makes being a part of this event so much
fun!
Lynn Kasemodel is pictured with his staff from
Above and Beyond, (R) Jody Aitchison and
(L) Julie Coyle. Jody and Julie have worked
with Lynn for about 3 to 4 years. Lynn is
paralyzed and has fond memories from his
days surfing. Jody and Julie now bring Lynn
to the Camp Courageous swimming pool
twice a week. Lynn's visits to the pool are
great for exercise. He just recently passed the
milestone of swimming 1/4 mile. But a side
benefit are the accessible showers. Lynn's
home is not very accommodating so when
he comes here, he gets to exercise and take
a hot shower. Thanks to Jody and Julie for
bringing Lynn. We really enjoy watching his
progress. And even more, we enjoy seeing
Lynn's determination and zest for life.
Camp had a wonderful time in early April
meeting the Catholic Daughters of America
Court 495 and friends from the Independence
area. Several of these folks had never been to
camp and were very interested in seeing first
hand all that camp has to offer. The group had
lunch with the campers and took a tour. Even
the rain and snow showers did not dampen
these ladies and gentleman's enthusiasm.
They brought along several bags of paper
products, paper, food and other much needed
items. Many thanks to them!
Steve & Karen
Johnston came
to camp from
Farmington,
Ill.
They wanted to
be a part of the
camp team and
to experience the
great
camping
adventures
offered. A BIG
thanks to these folks who spent an entire
week with us and were a great help.
Manson Family Awarded
J & P Poker Run

Camp Courageous
Hundreds of bikers took part in
this year’s annual Poker Run event.
Congratulations to J & P Cycles
on their big 30th Anniversary. A
celebration to honor this occasion
will take place June 27th & 28th.
This is the first of three large groups

in the middle Dallas Carmer (Cedar Rapids)
was the youngest.
A regular to lead the pack for the annual J &
P Poker Run for Camp Courageous is Kelly
Main of Lisbon. The Poker Run is in memory
of his wife, a former employee of J & P.
Dallas Carmer picks a winner number.
Camper T-Shirts… can you help?
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”. I wish
you could see the beautiful smiles light their
faces, the innocent joy, the sincere pride
when they receive and put on their special
keepsake. It’s an exceedingly heartwarming
and moving moment and never fails to
define the true purpose of Camp Courageous;
to bring purpose and meaning to others.
Would you be interested in sponsoring
T-shirts? A gift of $500 will give you a 4 X 6
inch space on the back of the T-shirt to place
your logo or name – what a great way to
show you care!
Make 2009 the year that you bring a smile
to the face of another camper! Contact Pam
Mayo for more info at 319-465-5916, ext 2120.
Mrs. Illinois 2008, Michele Beckwith, visited
Camp Courageous with the Davenport
Optimist on June 6th, as part of their workday.
She is surrounded by campers and staff at a
Respite Care Weekend. She was a big hit!
A big thank-you to Joann Nelson, Dean
McCall, and Pat Mesick for continuing their
mother, Anna McCall's tradition, of coming to
the camp's breakfast and providing the camp
support. Anna's family presented a check to
go into the Perpetual Fund that will enable
Anna to continue to help camp, forever. She
would be so proud...
The Annual Iowa Brain Injury Association
Awards Night. Camp Courageous was
very instrumental in establishing the Iowa
Brain Injury Association, in the early 80s,
along with Lanes from Humbolt, doctors
from Covenant Medical Center in Waterloo,
and many families. We fondly remember
meeting during RAGBRAI while staying in
the home of camper Bill Lane, as his folks
gathered all the key players together to
start the association. We only knew Bill as
a camper, so it was an experience to see
pictures of Bill before his brain injury. Later
Camp Courageous helped put a slide show
together for them and was very involved in
those early years. It has been heartwarming
to see an organization start from nothing and
flourish, as this one has. Camp Courageous
received an appreciation award for the
camp’s outstanding support. Roger Norton,
the President, did a wonderful job, as did
Geoff Lauer, their Executive Director. It was
also insightful to hear the story of Dave and
Brenda Johnson of Denver, Iowa who were
involved in a motorcycle accident in Arizona,
that left Dave brain injured. Was especially
pleased to see the Manson and Arbuckle
Family receive the Family of the Year Award.
The Mansons have been very involved in
IBIA, since their daughter/sister, Jean, had
a brain injury. Receiving the award were
parents, Dick and Marilyn Manson, daughter
Annie, son Bob, along with Annie’s husband
Carl and children Sarah and Rod ...super
family. — Charlie
Mabel Kremer of rural Prairieburg IA
celebrated her 94th-birthday on April 28 by
coming coming to camp and riding in the
CUBS car on the new railroad. Mabel has
been involved with about every major project
at camp, since the building of the Lodge in
1990, when she donated micro-waves for
the kitchen. Then came pool blocks for
everyone in her family, down to great-grand
children. She has a room in Beckwith Dorm,
and has supported the train, office, and
remodeling of the multipurpose building.
Mabel takes one-day-at-a-time. Mabel is in
the front in blue, with family, Shela Marchus,
Joe Marchus, Mary Kremer, Tom Kremer,
Don Stadtmiller and JoAnn Stadtmiller...4generations! Mabel's greatest asset is her
tremendous family, who follow in Mabel's
footsteps of kindness.

Cruisin’
for Camp Courageous
Presented by the
Cedar Valley Street Rods
Dean McCall (L) representing the Cedar
Rapids Corvette Club, presents a check for
$1,000 to Camp Courageous. This has been
a long standing tradition. Camp Courageous
is very grateful for their years of support! A
truly fun group!
Phil Vernon, representing the Bi-State
Volkswagen Club presents Mary Johnson,
chairperson of Cruisin' For Camp Courageous
from the Cedar Valley Street Rods, a check
for $1,500! The Bug folks have been raising
money for the camp throughout the year.
Volkswagen had a great showing from
several clubs. In the competition between the
Corvettes and the Bugs, the Cedar Rapids
Corvette Club once again came in first place.
Once again, they turned their winnings back
to camp, as did second place Classic Chevys,
and the third place Bi-State Volkswagen
Club.
Best of Show was this incredible milk truck. It
was absolutely beautiful! Thank you to Harvey
Zuidema of Morrison, IL for bringing this 1957
Divco Model 13 Hercules six-cylinder engine
Dairy Truck to the camp. It was restored in
2005. It was a huge hit!
The key to the success of Cruisin' for Camp Courageous since the beginning has been the Cedar
Valley Street Rod Club. These incredibly dedicated individuals work year-round to make this day
a success. We can't thank them enough for all their hard work and love for the mission of Camp
Courageous.

When their daughter, Jen, began Ultimate
Fighting, Jen decided to “fight for Camp
Courageous!” In her second bout on June 6
at the Davenport Fairgrounds she upped her
record to 2-0! Jen is in exceptionally good
shape. She is a mother of two, a business
owner, and a model. She did a great job
fight night! I asked Mary if it ever bothered
her to have her daughter ultimate fighting?
She explained how it is a very technical and
focused sport. Jen has both the skill, speed,
and athletic capabilities to do extremely well...
so she does not need to worry. Jen was
impressive!
A big thank you to the Maquoketa Optimist
Club, who not only brought a nice check to
support the camp, they put in a hard day’s

check. Leading the charge in the engineering
position is Ed Ellis... a long time supporter of
Camp Courageous.
Darlene Diercks with the Faith Lutheran
Church in Andover, IA delivered several
beautiful quilts to camp. These colorful quilts
will be greatly appreciated by the campers
during their stays. Thank you ladies for all
your hard work and thinking of camp.

After many years of service, Jeb Supple

A big thank you to Don Bean for inviting
camp to give a presentation to the Marion
Sunrisers Kiwanis Club. This group has been
supporting camp since the very early years of
the camp. These long time supporters meet at
the Marion Hy-Vee and have traveled to camp
on numerous occasions to donate items,
like a wonderful youth first aid kit! Members
include Will Ogle, Emil Koval, Norm & Mary
Ellen Wright, Mel & Carolyn Holubar, George
& Nancy Domer, Jim & Mildred Jessen, Don &
Donna Bean, and Gordon Bowser.
(L-R) Tom Beadle, Grand Knight of Monticello
Sacred Heart Council 1821; Paul Smith,
Past State Deputy of the KCs; and Bob
Eilers, Financial Secretary of Council 1821
present a check representing a lot of hard
work by the local Council selling Tootsie Rolls
to benefit programs like those here at Camp
Courageous. We are grateful for their years
of support.
(L-R) Camper Ronnie Pfeiffer of Walker, IA
is pictured with Counselor Se Youn Park of
Incheon, Korea as they get loaded onto the
train passenger car provided by the C.U.B.S.
A special thank you to the Alhoa Trust who
provided camp the funding for the new diesel
engine that now powers the train. The engine
was installed over the winter season. The
additional power allows for more campers to
ride at one time. The train has been a huge
addition for the camp... which the campers
love!
Marginal Note: If truth is beauty, how come no one has their hair done in the library?
Monticello Sacred Heart Council 1821...super
group!

Join the Camp Courageous group
where you’ll be able to connect
with other camp supporters,
current and past staff,
and campers.
A big thank you to Norman and Zelda Sackett
of Center Point IA for their donation of a very
large amount of tabs. The Sacketts have
been long time supporters of camp.
Happy 50th Birthday to Pat Powers of Webster
City... Pat is camp's spokesperson and super
volunteer in the Webster City area! We wish
him the best in his next 50.
A special thank you to Ambrose Koopman who
has supplied baby goats to camp for years.
The campers love to bottle feed the goats!
12
A big thank you to Priscilla Wright and Ted
Rettenmeyer, both of Iowa City for delivering
to camp several cases of plasticware
collected from the Old Capitol Kiwanis
Club in Iowa City. Ted and Eldon Stutsman
introduced camp to this group many years
ago…and they have never stopped being
supportive. Ted and Priscilla are the nicest
people anyone could meet!
Many thanks go out to the Cedar County Farm
Bureau ladies who spent another morning
volunteering at camp. These ladies have
become very familiar faces around camp.
This year they spent the morning folding and
organizing over 1,000 camper T-shirts. We
look forward to seeing them again next year!
A big thank you to a group from Home
Depot in Cedar Rapids who spent their day
off out helping build a deck at one of our
campsites in the woods. The addition of the
deck at this camp site will improve that area
so more campers in wheel chairs can enjoy
cooking out at one of the campsites.
Thank you to Owen Thorson (seated left)
for giving Camp Courageous the opportunity
to give a program about the camp to the
Maquoketa Optimist. This group has been
going strong since the 60s and have been
long time supporters of the camp. The Eagles
Club, where they meet, ladies served us a
wonderful breakfast!
Garryowen Guys & Gals 4-H’ers Megan
Redmond, Sara Redmond, Liz Pfab, Jacob
Droeszler, and Dalton Breckenridge, along
with Michel and Deb Redmond, Bailey,
Kinze and Shelley Martin, and Deb Pfab
spent a Saturday morning volunteering
with set up for the 2009 "Cruisin' for Camp
Courageous." Camp appreciates their time
and talents and look forward to seeing
them again!
A great work day was held at camp to bring
the train rail to perfection. A special thank
you to Stacy Fritz's Tae Kwon Do group along
with the Boy Scouts of Anamosa. They did
a tremendous job. A hard working and super
nice group... and what a difference they
made!!!
A huge thank you to Rod and Donna Christ who organized this great group of volunteers.
Rod works at Prudential and Donna with Alliant Energy. They worked very hard to recruit
employees from each company to come out to split firewood and do some spring train track
maintenance in early April. They were a very hard working group and we all appreciate their
time and effort!
THANK YOU!! — Camp Courageous is run on donations, without government assistance, without formal sponsorship, and without
paid fund raisers. What this means is that everything that is given to camp, whether it be food, time, materials, or money, goes directly
to benefit over 5,000 campers with disabilities who attend camp each year. Listed below are those who have contributed money, time,
and/or supplies from March 18, 2009 to June 16, 2009.

Dear Jeanne & Staff What can we say – another fantastic day at camp! Even the weather was
perfect for us. All of the kids had a wonderful time, and the adults did, too! Once
again you have assembled a staff of counselors who are warm and caring as well as
sensitive to the needs of each camper. That makes the day even more enjoyable.
One of my students summed up the feeling of all the students who visit camp.
As we pulled into camp, he reached over to me, threw his arms around me (as far
as they would go!) and gave me a big hug. What a wonderful statement-without
saying a word.
Thank you for all you and your staff do to make a trip to camp so
memorable…

Marginal Note: Happiness held is the seed; happiness shared is the flower.
Camp Courageous appreciated being invited to
the Good Sams Convention held in the Amanas
in June. Here, members of the Two Rivers
Good Sams have a raffle for camp. (L-R) Jerry
Cameron, Pat Bolton, and Pat Cameron. All
great long-time supporters of camp...you can
see the whole group at the camp breakfasts.
Happy 49th birthday to Charlie Cummins
(Center). He is flanked by Honorary Board
Member Leo Greco on the left and Ron Gonder
on the right. Tait & Dotty Cummins would be
so happy to see that long time friendships
continue.
A big thank you to Ron Stutsman and Stutsmans
from Hills, IA for their recent donation of
much needed items. Pictured are the pallets
containing the items they delivered, included
wood shavings, softener salt, bird seed, rabbit
food, and fertilizer

Pool UV System Needed
Camp Courageous is need of an
ultra-violet pool disinfectant
system for the increased health
and safety of campers, staff, and
general public. Cost is $50,000.
(L-R) Camper Mike Sparrow of Davenport, IA is
pictured with Counselor Laura Blythe of Cedar
Rapids, IA as they play a round of frisbee golf.
This is the first year that campers have been
offered frisbee golf thanks to Pictured Rocks
camp (across the road from Camp Courageous)
offering their course for campers to use.
(L-R) Campers Joe Stevens and David
Andersen find their frisbees in one of the
baskets that make up the frisbee golf course.
Joe and Dave come to Camp Courageous

Camp Courageous
has been fortunate
in the past to have
great support from
individuals
and
companies donating
needed tools to
our
maintenance
department.
With
all of the projects
we have been doing
this year we have
decided it is time to
replace our older worn
out table saw and miter saw with
newer more accurate equipment.
We are looking to get a DeWalt 10”
job site table saw model DW744x
and a Dewalt 10” miter saw model
DW713.

VOLUNTEER & EMPLOYMENT
OPPORTUNITIES FOR FALL 2009
SEASONAL OR YEAR-ROUND
Consider applying for a volunteer,
internship or paid position at Camp
Courageous. Working with children

including feeding, dressing and
personal hygiene.
Some campers exhibit behavior
challenges. Patience, energy, good
judgment, and enthusiasm are
important qualifications for a position
at Camp Courageous. The hours are
long. An unselfish attitude and an
emphasis on teamwork are needed.
If you have the necessary attributes,
apply for a position at camp. Room
and board are provided. Non-smokers
only.
Fall: August 19 – November 25
Apply online from the camp’s
web site at www.campcourageous.
org. For employment opportunities

Why spend hours baking?
Let us do it for you!
The time is quickly approaching when once again we will
bake our uniquely delicious Camp Courageous Fruitcakes.
If you have been fortunate enough to enjoy one, you know
how scrumptious they are. If not, don’t miss the opportunity.
Each year people eagerly wait to eat and serve the cakes. Our
cakes are baked in September and available in stores from
November to January.
This year, in an effort to counter the spiraling cost of
ingredients, such as English walnuts, pecans, Brazil nuts, and
pineapple, we decided to seek sponsors. Hopefully, this will
allow us to produce as many fruitcakes as in past years and
continue to help Camp Courageous at the same level.
If you would like to be a sponsor and have your name or
business appear on the box please fill out and return by Sept.
1, 2009. Over 5,000 boxes of cakes will be sold this year.
1/2” x 1-1/2”
Sponsor Box - $100.00
1/2” x 2”
Sponsor Box - $500.00
1/2” x 3”
Sponsor Box - $1,000.00
1. Check the box inside the sponsor box size that you would like.
2. Enter the text that you’d like to appear inside the sponsor box:
3. Cut this form out and mail to: Pam Mayo at
Camp Courageous, PO Box 418, Monticello, IA 521310-0418
The crew is being assembled and the process will soon
begin. With your help this 22-year tradition will continue. We
hope you can help by sponsoring this holiday tradition.
Marginal Note: You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of your heart that you truly give.

Water, a necessity…
For the past year Camp
Courageous and Engineers from
Shive Hattery of Moline, IL have
been working with the Iowa DNR
to obtain all the permits needed to
install a new well at camp. This
new well will be a great asset to
camp since after the flooding many
wells in the area have had elevated
Nitrate levels.
This well would add to the current
well system to help the camp stay
clear of any Nitrate issues and
guarantee that we have enough
water pressure at all times.
Early in June all of the hard work
paid off and the camp now has the
required permits. The next step is to
secure the funding to put in the new
well and the equipment that goes
along with it. The estimated cost of
the new public well is $20,817.
(L-R) Volunteer Counselor Kyle Durgin of Platte
Clove, NY poses for a picture with camper
Bihari Chohon of Cedar Rapids, IA. Bihari had
a great week at camp this year and, as you can
tell by the photo above, has a great personality
that his counselors enjoyed.

It was great to see the folks from First
Presbyterian Church in Hastings, Nebraska
again this year. This wonderful group comes to
volunteer at camp about every 4 years or so.
A huge thank you to Pastor John Curtiss who
organized this terrific group of 18 youth and
adults. As volunteer counselors, they were
enthusiastic, fun and extremely helpful. We
can't wait to see you all again soon.
(L-R) We were lucky to have Tate Lage of
Ankeny and Scott Hanson of Des Moines join
camp for a week this summer. They worked as
volunteer counselors during a very busy youth
week. Scott and Tate are medical students at
Des Moines University.

We had several physical therapy students from
the University of Iowa again this spring. The PT
students always make wonderful volunteers.
They are very caring people and they really
enhance the campers' experience at camp. A
huge thanks to all of the PT students, including
McKenze Schultz and Nikki Lokenvitz. Nikki has
actually exceeded expectations by volunteering
at several more respites than she needed to
fulfill her class requirements.

Thanks to Megan Cavanagh and Patricia
(Trisha) Kelly for their hard work and enthusiasm
during an April respite care weekend. Megan
and Trisha are students at UNI and chose
to volunteer at camp to meet the volunteer
requirements in their social work class. Thanks
ladies!
Jessica Olson was
very determined to
volunteer at camp.
She
interviewed
about a year ago
to be a volunteer
counselor for the
respite program, but
her busy school and
work scheduled didn't
allow her to actually
volunteer until this
spring. Camp is also
happy to have Jessica
at camp this summer
as the Health Staff Assistant.

Kimberly Ann
RuggebergGomez
A big thank you to Don Simpson, who, along with his wife, Marilou, volunteered at Camp
Courageous for over two-years...gave Camp the opportunity to present a program to the County
Line Presbyterian Churches. We met in Hamlet, IL for a wonderful meal and program. Many are
regular listeners of WMT and Leo Greco's Variety Time Show.
We want to wish Karen Ultis the very best in
her future endeavors. We remember when
Karen was hired and have worked for about
25-years with her as Community Affairs
Director for KCRG-TV 9. From Cruisin'-ForCamp Courageous to the Nine Who Care to
the Pineapple Gala, to many other events,
Karen was the go to person for KCRG's
involvement.
Here is a wonderful group of Anamosans called
“Joy” ...and they are a joy to be around. They
came to camp for a tour. Members include
board members Dr. John Baily and John
Parham Sr. A big thank you to these folks,
who most have been long time supporters of
the camp.
Congratulations to Mary Craven's who
retired after 37-years of dedicated service,
with her final years at Truman Elementary.
Mary is shown with her grandson, Kaden,
in this picture. She has been a long time
special education teacher who brought a lot
of students and a lot of donations to camp
over the years. It is amazing how campers
you haven't seen for a while, have grown.
Mary said to tell the whole staff "hi" and you
haven't seen the last of her! Mary has done
more for those with special needs than she
will ever realize.
Press-time update: Camp’s sympathy goes
out to Mary upon the the passing of her
husband Gary.
Happy 85th Birthday to Frank Smith! Frank
has organized many benefit dances held at
camp and has been a dear friend to camp for
many years.
Marginal Note: People who fight fire with fire usually end up with ashes.
Camp was overwhelmed by the out
pouring of memorials for Kimberly Ann
Ruggeberg-Gomez.
Kimberly Ann Ruggeberg-Gomez, 45,
died Saturday, Feb. 7, 2009, in Tempe,
Ariz. She was born Feb. 21, 1964, in
Maquoketa to Leyland and Saundra
(Soni) Ruggeberg of Grand Mound.
Her parents were wonderful supporters
of the camp, and Kim followed in their
footsteps... even when she was half
a country away. She graduated from
Delwood High School in 1982 and
graduated with honors from Creighton
University with a degree in accounting
in 1986. Later, she passed her CPA exam
and became a practicing CPA.
She married her college sweetheart,
David A. Gomez, in Lost Nation, May
25, 1985, and moved to Tempe in
1986 where she began work at ArthurAnderson.
She built an accounting
practice in Tempe and served as
president of the Tempe School Board.
Most recently, she was appointed CFO
of Showloff Bluff. Kim is survived
by her husband; sons, Zachary and
Joshua; her parents; a brother, Brian
Ruggeberg; her grandfather, Howard
Waugh. All wonderful friends of Camp
Courageous.
Long time supporters of Camp Courageous
has been the Ahrendsen Family. On April 17,
2009 Kevin Ahrendsen (center) graduated
from high school! Kevin has been coming to
camp since he was three years old and has
always been loved by all. Because of Kevin’s
winning personality he was elected to be
his school’s Homecoming King! Monte and
Margo have been wonderful parents and great
advocates. Margo is currently one of camp’s
newest board members... a great addition!
Truly a wonderful family.

New provision allows for tax-free IRA
contributions to charities
It was an honor to have Carol Holmes, State
President of the Department of Iowa Ladies
Auxiliary Veterans of Foreign Wars visit camp.
Carol, along with her husband, Mike, from Des
Moines, had a tour of the camp and we had a
wonderful visit about the huge role the VFW
and Aux. have played in camp's history. The
VFW and Aux. have been supporting the camp
since the camp began. Many great memories.
Carol and State Commander Larry Larson of
Marshalltown will be having this year's State
Convention in Cedar Rapids, the last weekend
in June. This year's convention will be extra
special, since it will be camp's 30th State
Convention in 30-years without missing. Ken
Johnston was Commander, and Marj Byam,
President; for our first convention. Ken and
his wife, Bev, stay very active in camp. Marj
Byam died about 25-years ago of ALS. We
are fortunate to have the VFW and Aux. as
such good friends!
Thank you to Klinger Paint in Cedar Rapids for
donating the paint for the multi-purpose gym
job! Klinger Paint have been supporting the
camp since the early years!
Lonnie and Doris Gray visited
camp recently after a program
was given in Cedar Rapids to
the Retired School Personnel
group. Doris was so pleased
with what she had seen at the
presentation, she wanted to show
Lonnie. They decided to gift The
Camp Courageous Foundation
a donation from their IRA... this
is a gift that, once given, will
give forever in perpetuity. The
gift was given in memory of
Robert Wood. As a result of new
legislation a taxpayer can now
contribute funds from his/her
IRA to a charitable organization,
like Camp Courageous. The
funds distributed from the IRA
are excluded from the taxpayer's
taxable income for the year.
Therefore, no income tax is paid
on the IRA distribution. Likewise,
the taxpayer does not take the
contribution as a charitable
deduction on Schedule A of their
federal income tax return.
These new provisions eliminate
the taxation and deduction,
allowing all of the IRA distribution
given to charity to be free of
income tax.
Requirements for a Qualified
Charitable Distribution from your
IRA
• Taxpayer/donor must be at least
70½ years of age.
• Distributions can be made from a
traditional IRA or a Roth IRA.
• Maximum amount eligible for this
transfer is $100,000 per taxpayer per
taxable year.
• Transfer of funds must be made
directly to the charitable organization
by the IRA trustee. This means that
the taxpayer must never receive the
funds.
• Transfers can be made to one or more
qualified charitable organizations or
private foundations. The funds can
not be contributed to a donor-advised
fund or a supporting organization.
•
Taxpayer/donor can receive no
value in return from the charitable
organization.
• The charitable entity must provide
written verification of the contribution
and that no value was received.
• A qualified charitable distribution can
be counted as all or a portion of the
required minimum distribution of the
taxpayer.
Big thank you to Aegon for once again taking on Camp
Courageous during the month of July. Some of the activities
include: Basket contest (for use at the Gala), Corporate Sponsor
for the Pineapple Gala, Lunches / Bake Sales, Raffle, Volunteer
Day, Item Donation, Can Collection
A big thank you to Jane Lonergan-Higley for
inviting Camp Courageous to give a program
to the Iowa Retired School Personnel
Association. This wonderful group of around
100 were so amazing, telling stories of how
Camp Courageous had impacted students
in their schools. We are grateful for the
opportunity to be a part of this super group
and thank them for their continued interest in
the camp!

A big thank you to Dr. Ron Hill in DeWitt whose
Camp Courageous Day on April 27 raised not
only money, but all kinds of needed items.
Dr. Hill provided an adjustment for free with a
cash donation of $35 or more or the donation
of industrial size food or other similar items.
Dr. Hill has been doing this for years... and we
are grateful.
These ladies delivered two very full vans of
new, much needed items from the Port Louisa
Farm Bureau ladies and the Island Methodist
Church ladies...great donation!!! A huge labor
of love from quilts to paper towels... all needed
items.
Many old memories came flowing back when
Ron and Jeri Hansen visited camp. The
Hansens’ son, Paul, was a camper here
during Muscular Dystrophy Camp for years.
He passed away 20-years ago. Jerri made a
quilt of many of Paul's things from his room...
so there will always be a part of Paul here.
Ron is a past state president of the Fraternal
Order of Eagles. Camp Courageous was his
state project, which provided air conditioning
to the multi-purpose building. A great couple.
They also dropped off quilts made by the Holy
Redeemer Lutheran Church in Cedar Rapids.
The Sessler's tell their story to a packed room
of the Henrietta Camp #4617 of the Royal
Neighbors of America. This group has been
long time supporters of camp. We appreciate
Eleanor Leazer of Wilton for giving camp this
opportunity and all she has done for years to
help camp.
What a great day to be outside working was one of the many comments from the group of
volunteers from Aegon that spent time at Camp Courageoust. These workers were a part of the
United Way Day of Caring that gave up a day of work at their regular job to come out and give
camp a hand. They got many projects tackled such as cleaning of the busses, sealing the nature
center, and starting the new deck at the tree house campsite plus many more.
Marginal Note: Things done by halves are never done right.
A big thank you to Roger and Theresa Sessler
who attended the Royal Neighbors of America
meeting in Durant to share their story about
what Camp Courageous meant to them and
their son, Curt, who had been coming to camp
since the age of 8. Theresa made a shadow
box which displays what was most important
to Curt including Camp Courageous, his
religion, and Special Olympics. Curt is dearly
missed by everyone at camp, but he lives on
through many fond memories.
(Right) About a year-and-a-half ago the task
of collecting and recycling cans and bottles
for Camp Courageous had been a project
that Lou Cooling of Wilton had done for more
than six years. Lou decided it’s time to turn
over those duties to someone else and Hayley
Krebs of Durant stepped up to the plate. In
that time she has collected over $1,500 for
camp. If you have any carbonated beverage
cans or bottles that you would like to donate,
please call Krebs at 563/785-4941 or look
for the drop-off boxes located around Durant
and Wilton. Thank you to Hayley and the
Krebs Family for all their hard work on this big
project.

Amanda Richmond
Carrie Duhross
Merrilee Bedell and Martha Alden with the
Hope Lutheran Church "Women of Hope"
group delivered a large donation of items from
the camp's needs list. The ladies decided to
make camp their project of the month and put
together this wonderful donation in just a short
time. Camp is so appreciative of their time
and generosity.
What a wet day for a work project. But that
didn't stop a crew of workers from Excelsior
Springs Mo from coming out and helping with
the rebuilding of a trail that was damaged
with all the rains last year. Many campers
will appreciate their hard work in making the
trail easier to hike on. While here they also
assisted with some landscape work around
the new deck at one of the campsites.
Jack Lidvall, 84, of
Cedar
Rapids
has
passed away. Jack was
a wonderful person. We
worked closely with
Jack after he left
Iowa
Manufacturing
Company and became
the Executive Director
of
the
Hall-Perrine
Foundation. Through Jack we had the
opportunity to develop a closer relationship
with the Perrines, Whipples, and others
involved in Foundation at that time. During
Jack's era the Hall-Perrine Foundation was
very supportive of the camp. Jack also
personally supported the camp in many
ways. He would often call and ask if camp
could use some tickets to an Iowa game. He
gave dozens and dozens of tickets over the
years... they were always passed on to staff
and campers who always reported back that
the seats were exceptional! His love for Camp
Courageous grew even stronger, when he
learned his grandson, Daniel, from Colorado
had a disability. Jack recommended camp
to his son and it wasn't long before Daniel
started making the trip from Colorado to Camp
Courageous regularly. Jack was a wonderful
man... and we will dearly miss him.
Long time supporter
of Camp Courageous,
Virtus Lorenzen, of
Anamosa has recently
passed away.
Virtus
and his wife, Mary, have
been supporters of camp
for over thirty-years. As
the camp grew over the
years, so did their support. Jones County has
lost a truly incredible supporter of all things
good for the county. Like other great Jones
County residents like the Howard and Margaret
Hall, Beahl and Irene Perrine, Dotty Cummins
and so many others, they felt strongly about
giving back...and they all happen to be big
Hawkeye fans...and Cubs fans too!
Remembering camp supporter Tom Schuster
Tom Schuster, and
the entire Schuster
Family,
were
salt-of-the-earth;
hard-working
and
dedicated folks. In
the early days of
Camp Courageous,
when it was nothing
more than a grove of trees and a lot of
sticker bushes, they were as dedicated to
the dream as anyone. Tom’s mom, Louise,
often baked pies and provided all kinds of
goodies for the volunteers who cleared the
area and built the first buildings. Later
she would donate all kinds of food for
the campers. Tom and Dave were always
available to weld or fix anything for
camp. Volunteer Clete Goedken, camp’s
only maintenance person for over a decade,
relied heavily on the Schusters. There
was nothing the Schuster Family would
not do for camp. Camp Courageous
will never forget our humble beginnings,
The sympathy of Camp
Courageous goes out
to the family and friends
of Arlene Feiereisen of
Cedar Rapids. Arlene
(and her husband,
Mike)
have
been
long time supporters
of camp in many
ways. From receiving
large donations of
homemade rye bread, to numerous other
goodies... Arlene was always so good to
camp. In Arlene's final weeks, she, along with
including going through other's trash
to make ends meet. Clete and I would
do the scavenging at the land fill, and
Tom and Dave would make something
wonderful out of nothing. The Schuster
Family was key to the success of Camp
Courageous growing from serving 211
campers with special needs during the
summer of 1974 to 5,211 today! With
Tom's death we have come to the end of
an era... Our heart felt sympathy goes out
to Tom's family and friends... Tom never
realized how many lives he touched by all
his kindness. He will be dearly missed...
– Charlie Becker
Mike, decided to give much of their household
items to Camp Courageous for use at camp
and to the Camp’s Manchester Garage Sale.
Arlene lived her life to please others.... and at
Camp Courageous she will never realize the
thousands with special needs she pleased.
Arlene will be dearly missed.
Deloras Becker, 88,
of
Dubuque,
Iowa
died June 8, 2009 at
Dubuque Nursing &
Rehab Center. Deloras
was the mother of
Camp
Courageous’
Director Charlie Becker.
Deloras was always
very proud of Camp
Courageous and she
loved to promote it and
volunteer. A widower of little means for most
of her life, she would give the shirt off her back
to help the camp. Memorials may be given
in Deloras’ name to the Camp Courageous
Foundation, PO Box 418, Monticello, IA
52310-0418.
Camp Courageous was honored to have Davenport VFW Post 828 and Auxiliary not only visit
camp, but they brought a huge truck load of needed items, plus they worked the day at camp.
They included Rolland Cooper, Quartermaster; Cathy Johnstone, Jr. Vice President; Mary Cooper,
Aux. President; Amy Fortney, Sr. Vice President Aux.; Rob Fortney, Trustee; and Rich Martens,
Chaplin.
Marginal Note: It is never too soon to be kind, for we never know how soon it will be too late.
Stephen - It is with a very heavy heart that
I inform you that Nathan passed away very
unexpectedly in his sleep yesterday morning
and therefore will not be attending camp. He was so looking forward to attending this
year and celebrating his 21st birthday at
camp. Thanks to all you and the wonderful
staff do for these kids each and every year. You are truly all a blessing.

The 34th annual Manchester
Garage Sale for Camp Courageous
is underway. Just as Camp
Courageous has grown from 211
campers during the summer of
1974 to over 5,000 campers 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 out of
the year, these volunteers give of
their time to run the sale located
at 913 East Main, in Manchester.
The sale opened Monday, April
27th 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,

The students of Lambert Elementary School
in Manchester once again did an incredible
job of collecting can tabs. Mrs. Jacque Lahr,
who coordinates the project, is here with some
third-grade helpers. What you see here is 99
pounds of tabs or 129,888 tabs! Over the
twelve years of doing this, 1,506 ½ pounds
have been collected which equals 1,976.996
tabs.

DeShaw and the Camp Courageous Perpetual Fund
It was a treat to have Julie (DeShaw) Nosek
stop by to visit the camp. Julie has been
involved with the camp since its earliest days
and is a former board member. She now lives
in Colorado. A picture of her family is displayed
in the Executive Director's office, over her
right shoulder. Julie's father, Dr. Earl DeShaw,
founded the Camp Courageous Perpetual
Fund in 1980. This fund has provided the
camp a secure foundation from which to
grow. Dr. DeShaw's conservative investment
philosophy, along with other Foundation Board
Members and bankers, Wilfred Shellenbarger
and Jim Maurice, cemented a course we
have not deviated from in 30-years. As a
result 100% of every penny that has been
given to the camp's Foundation continues
to help the camp and not a penny has been
lost in the current economic situation. It has
also been the philosophy of the camp to put
undesignated gifts given through an estate
into the foundation. These are one time gifts,
that will now give forever.
Here is the story...
In 1980, a gentleman by the name of
Dr. Earl DeShaw stopped by the camp
to visit. As we stood on the front lawn
watching some campers with severe
disabilities have the time of their lives,
he said, “there but for the grace of
God go I.” He told me of his dream
of establishing a perpetual fund for the
camp, where the principal would be
invested and the interest would go to
support the camp. At this same time
the camp was building an indoor pool,
(which it did not have the funds to be
building), much of my time was spent
on the phone letting creditors know the
camp was doing all it could to pay its
bills, there was no money to pay the
director an annual salary of $17,000...
and we were talking about putting
money on interest? Well, Dr. DeShaw
told the board he would volunteer
five years of his life (he was 80 then
and ended up volunteering the rest of
his life-up to 91) to find 100 people to
join him in giving $1,000 a year for
five years. Dr. DeShaw was the first in
and he soon convinced me that at $20 a
week I would be there in no time. This
$5,000 pledge over five years was the
biggest investment of my life, but I
signed because I believed so strongly in
the integrity of this man and the future
Camp Courageous Staff - Spring 2009
of camp. He quickly gathered friends
like Jim Maurice from the Monticello
Bank to be treasurer and Wilfred
Shellenbarger from Farmers Bank in
Marion to be on the Perpetual Fund
Board.
Since my early reservation I have
become one of the biggest fans of the
Camp Courageous Perpetual Fund and
continue to give, just as Dr. DeShaw
taught me. I have had the opportunity
to see Camp Courageous touch the lives
of thousands of families in so many
wonderful ways, I want to know the
camp will continue this tradition long
after I am gone. That is why the majority
of my gifts to camp in memory of loved
ones, in honor of special occasions, etc.
go to the Perpetual Fund.
I hope you will join me in considering
giving to the Perpetual Fund. It is
our goal to see the Perpetual Fund
provide the foundation from which the
camp's future is assured. The income
generated from the Perpetual Fund is
the only income Camp Courageous can
depend on each year, since the camp is
run on donations, without government
funding, formal sponsorship, or
people paid to raise money for the
camp. Contributions to the Perpetual
Fund not only provide campers with
disabilities the opportunity to come to
camp, but it also provides the parents
the reassurance that there will always
be someone at camp to meet the special
needs of their family member, 24 hoursa-day, 365 days-a-year.
A plaque-acknowledging contributor
is on display in the camp's Main Lodge.
Gifts to the Camp’s Perpetual Fund are
cumulative, thus allowing one to move
up from one category to the next.

Board Member Brian Gay authors book with proceeds going to Camp
Brian Gay is the Executive Director
of Midwest Free Community Papers
(formerly SGI). MFCP is a regional
association of free distribution papers.
Brian’s background includes over thirty
years in the free paper industry. He is
formerly an owner, publisher, general
manager, sales manager, sale rep, past
president of MFCP and past board member
of both state and national associations. He
has written extensively and regularly for
several industry publications.
Brian has put his years of experience
into a new book entitled, “Land Standing.”
He wrote the following introduction…
In the summer of 2007 at the age of
62 my dream of tandem skydiving came
to pass. I remember being at 10,000 feet
saying to myself, “What are you doing?
Are you out of your mind?”
As those thoughts raced through my
brain, we rolled out of the plane and did
two complete summersaults and free fell to
3,000 feet reaching a speed of close to 120
miles an hour. The ripcord was pulled and
the force slowing
us down was about
two G’s. The rest
of the descent
was like floating
in the sky. I was
able to control
the parachute by
pulling on the
control
lines.
As we neared
the ground the
instructor said that we were going to
“Land Standing.”
As I thought of a title for this book
“Land Standing” seemed extremely
appropriate. In our everyday sales efforts
we all strive to “Land Standing.” It is
in our nature to reach for only our best.
My goal in publishing this book is to
help everyone selling print advertising to
“Land Standing.”
Brian is a current board member at
Camp Courageous (recently served at
Board President) and is donating the
proceeds from the sales of his book to
the camp. His goal is to raise $5,000.00
through book sales for the camp. To date,
hundreds of books have been sold. Brian
seems to have written his experience into
the pages.
If you would like a copy of “Land
Standing” then please visit the camp’s web
site at www.campcourageous.org. You
may purchase a copy through the camp’s
online store. Additionally, you can buy the
book from Amazon’s online store at www.

How can you help?
The camp is amazed at the many ways that supporters have helped make the dream of
Camp Courageous a reality. Many have contacted the camp asking how they or their
group can help. Below are just a few suggestions on how you can help the camp:
Make a Financial Gift
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.
Volunteering
Nothing is more valuable than your time and we
would appreciate your gift of time helping the camp.
Help is needed from cutting grass to working with
campers. Individuals, groups, clubs, and organizations
are welcome.
Please contact Shannon Poe, Volunteer Director, by
e-mail at [email protected] 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? Please contact
the camp or visit the camp’s web site for information on
how you can donate your vehicle.
If you are donating your vehicle so it can be sold to
allow the camp to benefit from its sale, then please review
the V-DAC program. Due to the IRS laws, the easiest way
to donate a vehicle that is to be liquidated is through
this great program. Visit the camp’s web site at www.
campcourageous.org for more information.
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 to work on landscaping around the track and
depot. A special railcar designed by Iowa State University
Mechanical Engineering students to accommodate the
many needs of Camp Courageous campers has arrived.
Expenses for this railcar and the overall project still needs
to be covered.
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
an e-mail at [email protected].
eBay Auctions and
the Mission Fish
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 of Iowa through this charity program.
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.
Used Laser/Ink Cartridges &
Used Cell Phones
Camp can redeem used laser printer toner cartridges,
used inkjet cartridges, and used cell phones for cash.
Simply drop your items off at the camp or contact Matt
Bollwitt by e-mail at [email protected] or by
phone at (319) 465-5916, ext. 2110.
United Way (Donor Option)
Even though Camp Courageous of Iowa
is not a United Way agency, we strongly encourage those
that give to the United Way to choose“Camp Courageous
of Iowa” using the Donor Option form (special category).
Camp has been fortunate to have donors from New
York City to San Francisco give through the United Way
Donor Option.
Pool Blocks
The Camp Courageous indoor pool was built one block
at a time. Over the past few years it has become 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 about the pool blocks you can contact Charlie
Becker at (319) 465-5916, ext. 2100, or send E-mail to
[email protected].
Courier Newsletter Sponsor
The goal of Camp Courageous is to have 100% of
donations go to benefit the over 5,000 campers that attend
each year. To help make this possible, we would appreciate
your consideration of sponsorship of the Courier. As many
as 25,000 Couriers are printed each quarter (January,
April, July and October) and are sent to all of camp’s
supporters. The cost to produce and mail each issue is
over $10,000. By choosing an option below, your help will
bring Camp Courageous closer to its goal of underwriting
the entire cost of the Courier. Please contact Jim
Zimmerman at 319-465-5916 ext. 2140 or send E-mail to
[email protected] for more information.

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 5,000 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.

Iowa off Highway 38 or 151. The camp lies on 80 acres
of wooded land surrounded by thousands of acres of
state primitive land and the Maquoketa River. Use US
