expansion
Camp Courageous
doubles in size
with the addition of
80 acres to meet a
growing need
At a recent strategic planning
session of the Board of Directors of
Camp Courageous, the #1 focus for
the future was to meet the growing
needs of campers and their families.
The camp has quickly grown from a
summer camp to a year-round camp,
and from no waiting lists to attend
camp, to substantial waiting lists for
each week-long session. Currently
the number of campers wanting to
come to camp is far greater than the
number of spaces available. Weeklong sessions for the next year are
booked within minutes of the first
hour of registration. The plan will be
to expand Camp Courageous without
2
compromising the quality of the
camp's program (program meaning
everything from dietary, medical,
activities, facilities, equipment, etc.).
Camp Courageous is currently
completing construction of the
Beckwith Dormitory to accommodate
more year-round staff in a quality
facility. With the new land addition,
camp is looking for opportunities to
grow the number of campers served
and activities.
This new acreage sits at the SE
intersection of Highway 38 and the
road that leads to Camp Courageous.
Due to the fact that this land was
purchased at an estate auction,
Camp Courageous did not have the
opportunity to raise the money for
the land in advance... which is camp’s
normal procedure. Historically, a full
and clear title to the 40 acres where
the base camp lies came from the
Tait Cummins’ Memorial Fund in
1984. The 30 acres to the South of
base camp and first-right-of-refusal
to the farm west of camp was made
possible by Bill and Kay Pitlik.
And the 10 acres of land, adjacent
to the road leading to camp where
staff and camp’s horse program is
located was donated by Charlie and
Tina Weepie. Camp is now seeking
a donor for naming rights to the
very first impression the public will
have of Camp Courageous. Camp
is currently reviewing opportunities
to develop this land to include a
lake, forest, and numerous camper
activities... along with the possibility
of increased camper housing.
The naming rights for this
additional nearly 80 acres is
$300,000. Anyone who may be
interested in discussing this
should contact: Charlie Becker
319/465-5916 ext 2100 or cbecker@
campcourageous.org.

Petroleum Marketers & Convenience Stores of Iowa
PMCI Continues Support of Camp at
Annual Convention in Des Moines
The end result of the Petroleum Marketers
and Convenience Stores of Iowa Convention
was Dawn Carlson and Past-President of
PMCI, Dave Dickey presenting a check for
over $5,000! Dawn is a wonderful person and
a leader for PMCI, and Dave is a person who
wears his heart on his sleeve and his heart is
huge! Great organization that pulled camp
out of some of its roughest days.
A big thank you to the Board of Directors of the Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Stores
of Iowa for continuing to take Camp Courageous under their wing for the 27th year!
The main speaker for the Association’s Prayer
Breakfast was (L) Charlie Whittmack, the
first Iowan to climb Mt. Everest. He gave an
exceptional presentation and looks forward
to doing things for Camp Courageous in the
future.
(L-R) Pat Becker (Camp Courageous), Speed
Herrig (Cookie’s Bar-B-Que Sauce), and Jorge
Ann Swinford (Iowa Automoble Dealers
Association) share some laughs at their
booths at the PMCI Convention. Wherever
Speed is, there are smiles and happiness. We
are grateful to all three of these great camp
supporters and wish Jorge Ann the very best
in all her future endeavors!
Special thank you to Dave Bell and Spec Cast in Dyersville for donating 300 1964 Dodge Vans
with the Camp Courageous logo and the PMCI logo on the vehicles. These are sold by the board
of PMCI to its membership.

It was a treat to visit with Dan Pomranke, a
long time supporter of Camp Courageous at
the PMCI Convention in Des Moines. It was
through his support that his daughter, Angela
Pomranke, heard about camp and organized
several Home Depot Stores to spend a day
of work at camp. Angela’s parents decided
to donate toward the purchase of a Wii for
the camp (see page 32). Angela writes, “My
parents taught me well when I was young
to give when you can and find a cause that
means a lot to you and touches your heart. I
believe in every thing Camp Courageous does
for not only the campers, but each and every
one of us. I hope that this will help make the
purchase of a Wii happen. For everything
you do every day to help the campers and to
encourage us all.” What an incredible family!

Camp Courageous Family Loses A
Beautiful Lady, Louise Greco
Bringing back those old memories. Here
is a group of former WMT employees who
gathered the day after Louise Greco’s death.
It was a fun night reminiscing about the
old days. Great personalities that brought
so much joy into the lives of so many! (L-R
back)Jim Wetherbee, Connie Switzer, Bobbie
Bowman, Barb Kouba, Jerry Passer, Larry
Edwards, Sharon Reeves, Gary Kouba, Nancy
Koestner, Kevin Carizzo, Mike Swanson, Sara
Carizzo, and Doug Wagner. (Front L-R sitting)
Mary Ann Wetherbee, Eileen Loan (Schmidt),
Pat Nielson (Carr), Jim Dalton, and Dwayne
Schmidt. An absolutely wonderful family.
(L) Cletus Kremer and Becky Melchert hold
up Mabel Kremer’s beautiful quilt with crossstitched roses on it. 93-year-old Mabel, sitting,
spent about 20-years off and on making this
beautiful piece. It will be up for auction at
this year’s Pineapple Gala in August. Mabel is
holding a plaque that will be placed on room
#101 of the new dorm. Mabel was the first to
buy a room for the new Beckwith Dormitory.
Mabel has been very supportive of camp for
years, and that tradition has flowed through
to her children!
Here is a super family… the Bolte Family. (L-R)
Barb Burroughs, Don Marple, Laurie Marple,
David Bolte, and Albert Bolte. They visited
camp and delivered memorials for Ora Mae
Bolte that went to the camp’s perpetual fund.
We enjoyed having Ora Mae and Albert on
the camp’s trip to Branson… great couple!
Everyone affiliated with Camp
Courageous mourns the death of Louise
Greco. She was the centerpiece of a
family that comes right out of a Norman
Rockwell painting of the ideal family.
Known to some as the “L Grecos”; Louise
was a wonderful and supportive wife to
her husband, Leo for 62-years. She was
the perfect mother and grandmother to
Larry (Judy) Greco of Solon and children,
Benjamin (Jenny) Greco of Champaign,
IL, and Andrew (Sandra) Greco of Cedar
Rapids; Linda (Michael) Greco-Sanders
of Denver; CO, Lou Ann (Frank) Heng
of Willmar, MN and children, Dan and Kati; Lisa (Jeff) Rehman of Cedar
Rapids and children Alex and Leo; and Lance (Liesa) Greco of Cedar
Rapids and children Callista, Gabriel, and Asa. Her understanding and
patience have been invaluable gifts and lessons for all.
Louise was truly a lady. She was gentle, caring and so very sweet. She
was the pillar of strength in the Greco family. We have been blessed to
have known her. Leo’s Little Red Wagon is full of a lifetime of wonderful
memories of her. I will personally miss the wonderful smells that came
from Louise’s kitchen. A kitchen full of a variety of Christmas cookies
waiting to cool. A little bag full of cookies for the road… just in case I
got hungry.
“The epitome of love, Louise’s life was one of total devotion to her
husband and family. Countless people were fortunate to receive the
warmth she served around her kitchen table. Nana to her grandchildren,
hugs, kisses, and chocolate oatmeal cookies were but a few of the ways
she showed her love.”
The many memorials that came to Camp Courageous in Louise’s
memory shows the many people she touched.
— Charlie
The Stanwood Lions had an incredible outpouring for Camp Courageous at a recent
meeting. We thank Connie Inman for inviting Camp Courageous to give a program to them.
This group includes new board member Merlin Hulse.
Marginal Note: Having a child fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world.

A Chance to Include
All Campers!
In an effort to
give campers an
opportunity
to
participate in more
adventures, Camp
Courageous would
like to acquire several
more Tumble Forms
for campers like
Hannah Soyer, age 12 (above) the
opportunity to participate in more of
camp’s adventure activities. Hannah
has been coming to Camp Courageous
during Muscular Dystrophy Week for
three years. Because she is in need of
extra support for her head and neck,
she had not been able to participate
in any of camp’s climbing activities
prior to this past summer. We were
very lucky to have had this Tumble
Form that Hannah is using donated.
As shown in the picture, the Tumble
Form gives that extra support to
Hannah’s head and neck while she
is hoisted up in a sling for her first
climbing activity at camp. Looking
at the smile on Hannah’s face shows
just how great an experience she was
given. You, too, can give similar
opportunities to other special campers
by donating Tumble Forms of any or
every size.
Chicago Urban Bicyclists Society
Wins Award for Camp Benefits
The C.U.B.S. (Chicago Urban Bicycle Society) received the Rider
Cup Award from RAGBRAI for their outstanding good they do while
on the ride. This super group drove from Chicago to receive their
award. We can’t thank the C.U.B.S. enough for their support which
has included a new dorm room, a donation to the pool project, and a
specially designed tandem bike. A special thank you to Jerry Turry,
who was not able to attend, but is the “leader of the pack”.
T.j. Juskiewicz (far L) and Dan McKay (far
R) present the award to C.U.B.S. members
(L-R) Dana Nelson, Brad Prendergast, Mike
Conklin, and Steve Isaacson.
Charlie,
I am one of the crowd of CUBS you
met during RAGBRAI for the past
two years.
The Santa Claus cover photo on
your [January] Courier newsletter
perfectly captures everything I know
and believe about the great work
Camp Courageous does. All of
your staff does a fantastic job, but
special kudos to the photographer
who caught that picture and the
editor who decided to use it.
A color copy is posted on my door at
Michigan State Law School. Hope
to see you again this July.
Best wishes and congratulations to
all at Camp Courageous.

for giving camp the opportunity to present
the camp story to their congregation during
their two Sunday services. Jeff & Judy Miller
have been active with camp personally and
through Home Hardware in Davenport. They
do everything from collect donations to selling fruitcakes. Many from the congregation
have tie-ins with camp, through being special
education teachers and bringing campers to
camp to parents of campers. Special thank
you to Sheila Thorberg for giving camp this
opportunity. Great Congregation!

Tom & Nan Riley Train Project Planning Continues
Iowa State engineering students surround Tom & Nan Riley (second
row, far right) at their home in Marion. Front row, right is Jim Heise,
Lecturer/Design Projects Coordinator, Department of Mechanical
Engineering, ISU and lead on the Camp Courageous project at Ames.
Students reviewed the train equipment at Riley’s home. Several trips
have been made by the students to make sure that all aspects of the
train’s system are considered.
All Aboard! Camp Train Project Starts
d
Tom & Nan Riley donated a train that is ready to be loaded and brought to camp to thrill thousands
of campers! This spring will be a very busy one to install the track, depot, etc. Many camp and/or train
enthusiasts have asked, how can we help? We will have workdays come spring to lay the track and build
the depot, which will also serve as the garage for the train. There will be professionals building a special
railcar designed by Iowa State University Mechanical Engineering students to accommodate the many
needs of Camp Courageous campers.
Lynn Kobliska, who works in Washington DC and has roots in Waterloo, IA is coordinating the
project. Jim Heise of Iowa State University’s Dept. of Mechanical Engineering is coordinating Iowa State
University’s role. Here are ways you can help:
I would like to volunteer. Please put me on your
list to call, write, or e-mail for your workdays.
I can provide materials to lay the track
(4”X4”treated wood, rail, rock, etc.) or I can
provide materials to build the depot. What can
be provided:_______________

Brokaw Receives Tall Pine Award
Congratulations to Randy Brokaw
(R) of Monticello for receiving
camp’s Tall Pine Award for his
outstanding volunteerism.
This
award has been 2-decades coming.
The award had been on my desk
for about 5-years and every time I
thought I had Randy cornered he got
away… so thank you to volunteer
board member, Jim Zimmerman (L)
for presenting it to Randy. During
camp’s most challenging times Randy
Brokaw was always there for the
camp… going back to the first years
of the camp. He was instrumental
in obtaining the camp’s first walk-in
freezer and cooler… and 30+years
later, camp is still using them. My
most memorable story was about
27-years ago when maintenance
volunteer Clete Goedken had an urge
in the middle of a winter’s night that
something was wrong at camp…
so he drove out and found water
pouring out of a camper cabin door.
He called me, and I called volunteer
Randy Brokaw. A pipe had burst and
Randy made me promise him not
to tell anyone (statue of limitations
has expired), he took every spare
angle and pipe he could find to make
it work… it wasn’t a straight line,
but it worked. During camp’s most
challenging times, Randy was always
there for camp… for which we will
be forever grateful. — Charlie
It was great to have Dubuque Allen Chapter
visit camp in February. The group have been
very supportive of the camp over the years.
Camp experiences its largest snow in decades!

Camp Courageous.

(R-L) Counselor Jess Maier of Palms, MI helps
camper Susie Schultz of Guttenburg, IA during
an afternoon activity in the lodge. Susie has
been coming to camp each year since 2002. It
was great to have her back again!
Honorary Board
Member Be Vermazen
Passes
Camp Courageous was blessed to
have Be Vermazen as a hard working
and dedicated Manchester Garage
Sale Worker (Camp’s largest fund
raiser). And if it wasn’t for Be and
her husband, John, stepping forward,
Camp Courageous may never have
had the beautiful indoor pool we
have today. “Be” watched the camp
grow from 211 special campers
served to over 5,000 campers today.
Be died within days of Louise Greco,
another beautiful lady. John and
Leo Greco shared a lot in common
from their work with Kent Feed to
Camp Courageous; as did Be and
Louise. Be’s memory will live on
forever here at Camp Courageous.
Our sincerest sympathy to John and
his family,
— Charlie
Wondering what to do with
some of your spare time?
The Maintenance department at
Camp Courageous is always looking
for a helping hand. Whether it be
working on an electrical project, fixing
a plumbing problem, or just helping
out with some outdoor projects, like
cutting grass and caring for flowers.
2007 is gone and 2008 is here with
even more projects than one could
imagine. If you would like to learn
more about helping out contact Greg
Boheman, Maintenance Director at
319-465-5916 ext. 2500.
Thank You!

33rd Annual Event Opening Soon for 2008!
Manchester Garage Sale
The 33rd annual Manchester Garage Sale for Camp
Courageous is about to get underway. Just as Camp
Courageous has grown from 211 campers during the
summer of 1974 to over 5,000 campers year-round 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 will
open Monday, April 28th and will remain
open until about the first
week in October. For the
six months following the
sale, volunteers work on
Manchester 
the facilities, constantly
making improvements.
The
Manchester
Garage Sale has been
a win-win situation. People who have donated their
personal items to the sale have had the opportunity to
clean house, knowing their things will go for good use.
The buyer has the opportunity to get needed items at a
very reasonable price, and the camp has obtained items
it needs, along with much needed financial support the
camp needs, since the camp is run on donations.
The
Garage
Sale is led by a
very dedicated
committee. For
these ladies the
sale goes yearround, as they
are
constantly
gathering things,
washing
and
mending items,
and doing whatever they can for the betterment of Camp
Courageous. The committee includes, Marla Schiess,
Honorary Board Member Jackie Snyder, and Vera
Gienapp.

Valentines Dance Enjoyed by Many
Camp Courageous hosted the annual Valentines
Dance on Saturday, February 8, 2008. Many
came out to enjoy a great evening of dancing and
refreshments. Contests were held during the dance
and many campers walked away with fabulous
prizes. Thanks to everyone who attended!
For more information on free special events for campers
held at Camp Courageous you can contact Stephen
Fasnacht by e-mail at [email protected] or
by phone at 319-465-5916, ext. 2310.
A group of 15 Camp Courageous supporters played golf recently at the Sawgrass Golf
resort in Florida with the Jay-Lynn-O Tours
group. Pictured on the famous 17th green at
Sawgrass is (L-R) Rick Beymer, Ron Beymer,

group included Bob Shafer, Tom Kelly, Collus

are in need of suitable replacements.
Camp’s canoes are heavy in weight,
and our aim is to get new or slightly
used canoes that are made with
alternative materials that are durable
and lightweight. This would make
transferring to and from trailers
easier and safer. After researching
several canoe materials, there are

New Wii Game Console Provides New Activity:
Video Games requiring Physical Movement
Adrian Dickey of Packwood made the camp’s winter season come alive! He did a great job of
getting the entire staff and campers excited! When UPS delivered Adrian’s wonderful gift of
a Wii, with all kinds of extras such as a sports package, High School Musical, etc. The staff was
quick to hook it up in the main lodge where there is a lot of room to move around. What an
incredible addition to the camp! Unlike other game consoles where you sit and play, the Wii
makes the players physically move about. This physical action has been proven to be therapeutic fun for many users. We can't thank Adrian enough! Adrian is the son of Dave & Judy Dickey
of Packwood, and all his parents wonderful attributes were passed on to their children. A family
that doesn’t come any better.

Shower Chairs Needed
for Swim Program
The swimming
program at Camp
Courageous
is
well known and
increasing
in
popularity. There
are several people that need the
assistance of a shower chair to give
them safe and smooth access to the
pool. These chairs are used often
and it is nearing the time to replace
a few of them. Camp needs chairs
that are 22 to 26 inches wide to fit
safely down the accessible ramp
into the pool. They must also have
an adjustable seat belt. Shower
chairs like this can range from
$300 to $600. Camp would like
to replace five of the shower chairs
that are currently in use. Any
donations towards new chairs, or of
the actual chairs would be greatly
appreciated.
Shower chairs have
many uses at the
camp. One use is to
safely get campers in
and out of the camp’s
indoor pool.

Archery a Favorite Activity Among Campers
Camp Courageous’ archery program has always been a favorite activity
among campers. For many, this is an opportunity to experience archery for
the first time. And for some, their week at camp is their only chance to try
and score that elusive “bull’s eye”.
Many people do not know that shooting
sports like archery offer many benefits to
participants regardless of ability level. Each
specific shooting sport can be adapted to fit
the ability level. Studies have also shown that
shooting sports helps people improve hand eye
coordination, patience, and self esteem. They
have also shown that with adapted equipment
and regular use, shooting sports can help
people with disabilities strengthen their current
abilities and unlock abilities they did not have the use of normally.
Before first starting here in 2003, I had worked for ten summers as a
shooting instructor for the Boy Scouts. In graduate school, I focused my
thesis on how the use of shooting sports can benefit people with disabilities.
I have had no better sense of fulfillment at Camp Courageous when I see a
camper who comes to the shooting range nervous and unsure of themselves
leave with a sense of joy and accomplishment when they pop a balloon,
knock over a reactive target, or stick an arrow in a bull’s eye.
Since the camp runs on donations, it sometimes becomes difficult to
have specific archery equipment donated. When we do receive an archery
donation, like all donations it is very much appreciated. But sometimes
campers are unable to use the equipment because it is too difficult for them.
Many of our staff have limited backgrounds in shooting sports. Like our
campers, they are experiencing it for the first time but are required to be
instructors. This can cause some nervousness for the staff as well.
To solve these problems and to make archery more available to our campers
and staff we are redesigning our archery program. A complete listing of the
equipment we are looking for is located in this issue’s Needs List section.
Once we have these new donations, the staff will be able to instruct and
assist campers better because all of the bows, arrows, and other equipment
will be the same. The campers will be more successful with archery because
of the same reasons.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the organizations that
have donated to our archery program through equipment donations and
informational support.
Camp Courageous was grateful (L-R) Justin
Pillard (Quality Supervisor) and Greg Bell
(Plant Manager) from Exide Technologies in
Manchester for their donation of batteries for
the camp’s generators and power wheelchairs.
Excide has been wonderful supporters of
camp for years. Special thanks to Gerry Rohr
for coordinating the pick-up of this donation.
Aimee Hospodarsky and her son, Grant, present boxes of much needed items collected by
the Area 10 School Counselors. We are grateful to them for thinking of camp with this wonderful collection of items.

Camp Courageous Remembers Friends that Have Passed
Cruisin' For Camp
Courageous will never
be the same without
Steve Davis's smiling
face greeting and
working the show.
Steve touched more
lives than he would
have ever realized...
he certainly was a
big part of the growth
and success of Camp Courageous over the
years. He will be dearly missed. We are
fortunate in life when we can meet a person
that it is a true joy to share your life with.
Sharon and Steve seemed to glow with that
type of relationship. Our sympathy goes out
to Sharon and family.
We were sad to hear
of the passing of a
wonderful volunteer,
Nancy Smith. I first
met Nancy in 2006
when she came
with her husband,
Dennis, for a week.
Dennis worked in
maintenance
and
Nancy helped out in the kitchen. Nancy was
a huge help to the kitchen staff. Nancy came
back the next year, even though she and
Dennis had to come separate weeks due to
their busy schedules. We will greatly miss
Nancy and her sense of humor this summer.
Our deepest sympathies go to Dennis and
the rest of Nancy’s family.
Jean Speck - Camp Courageous was
saddened to learn of the death of camp
supporter, Jean Speck of Huston TX.
Jean was the sister to the one of most
wonderful lady’s I have ever known, the
late Hank Bahl of Jesup. Hank (Henrietta)
was the wife of Honorary Board Member
Norb Bahl. Camp’s sympathy goes out to
Mike Speck, Norb Bahl and their families.
Mary C. Paramater - Camp is grateful
to the Mary C. Paramater Estate which
left a significant donation to the camp’s
perpetual fund. Through the generosity
of Mary, the money given will be invested
and provide support to the camp for many
years to come.
Camper
Melvin
Lowery was a Camp
Courageous classic. He
could quickly light up a
room when he arrived.
Always caring, always
good hearted, always
thinking of others. One
of our last times out
was a Sunday morning.
He quickly asked, is it alright to bring a
friend. After breakfast and a time at WMT
watching “his good friend” Leo Greco do
his Sunday morning show, we did a little
shopping. Melvin quickly asked if it was ok
to buy some things for some of his friends at
the Abbe Center... always thinking of others,
particularly his Abbe Center Family. Melvin
touched the lives of more people than he
ever realized. He brought happiness and joy
to so many of us. He will be dearly missed
by all his friends at Camp Courageous, the
Abbe Center, and all those who had the
opportunity to meet him.
Linda Peterson was
a spark that ignited
volunteerism and who
could say no to Linda.
Linda had a passion
for helping anyone in
general, but children
with special needs in
particular. She leaves
a legacy of what a huge
difference one person can make. Her spark
will be dearly missed. Our sympathy goes
out to Steve and family.
Camp’s heart was
saddened with the death
of Joe Hernandez. Joe
and his wife, Kathleen
are parents of camper
Matt Hernandez. They
have been active with
Camp
Courageous
since the start. Close
friends of Tait and Dotty
Cummins, Joe always approached work with
a big smile and was the kindest person one
could ever meet. From selling pineapples to
fruitcakes and everything in between. They
believed in camp and wanted Matt to enjoy
camp to its fullest. A wonderful family.
Camp’s sympathy goes out to Kathleen,
Matt, and Joe’s daughter, Mary.
Camp says goodbye to another
member of our
WMT Family. Bill
Alford is best
remembered for
his 24-years with
WMT AM/FM/TV
as a popular farm
broadcaster and
farm editor. Bill is
a member of the very select WMT Radio Hall
of Fame. A wonderful personality, Bill and
his wife, Marilyn (of 57-years) were always
there to help the camp whenever they could.
They were very close to the the Cummins
Family and participated in many camp events
from pineapples to bridge. Our sympathy
goes out to Bill's Family.
Camp was saddened to
learn of the death of long
time camper Jane Williams
of
Independence/Waterloo.
Jane started coming to camp,
about the time camp started
and it was always a treat to
see her year after year. She loved coming
to camp and camp loved having her. Camp’s
sympathy goes out to her wonderful mother,
Geraldine of Independence; two sisters,
Janet Pananos of Kenner, La., and Jeannie
Williams of Madison, Wis.; and a brother,
John Williams of Parnell. We will dearly
miss Jane.
Camp is grateful to so many of you who have given gifts in memory of loved
ones. If you would like to have your donation made in memory of someone
please send the name along with your donation. The camp will send an
acknowledgment about your gift if you provide a name and address. It is in
the memory of your loved ones that we dedicate ourselves to doing all that is
within our abilities to bring true happiness to the campers served.
Marginal Note: When it seems you can’t forgive, remember how much you have been forgiven.
Thank you to the employees at Rockwell
Collins for their current “Rolls for Relief”
program. They are collecting a HUGE donation of toilet paper for use at the camp.
Pictured above is a part of the contest
materials used for the project. Special
thank you to Mary Johnson for getting
the camp involved with this program.

Curt Olson of Cascade has passed away… our sympathy to Gael and the family. Curt was 48-years in the telephone industry. Curt supplied camp with whatever telephone items the camp needed and was always there for the camp. Curt’s
daughter, Sarah, was a camp counselor. Curt will be dearly missed….
My
dad
passed
away
unexpectedly
this year, and
I saw Charlie
Becker at his
funeral. I hadn’t
seen
Charlie
since I worked for him when I
was 19, which would have been
1982. When I saw Charlie, pleasant
memories reminded me of my time
at Camp Courageous. I talked to
Charlie after the service and told
him I would like to write something
for the Camp Courageous periodical
about two major influences on my
life, my dad, Curtis Duane Olson,
and Camp Courageous.
As I sat to write this, I thought
of the things that Dad and Camp
Courageous had in common. The
first thought is that they both
require hard work. My Dad always
taught us to do the right thing, be
honest, and work hard. He really
emphasized the work hard and we
did. And Dad didn’t like to work
alone so if he had something to do,
you better find something to do or
you would be helping him. Camp
Courageous is a great place full of
wonderful, caring people who are
truly there for the campers because
as I found out, it wasn’t for the
money. We didn’t make very much.
They really want the campers to
36
have a great experience while their
daily caretakers get a well-deserved
break. The counselors work hard
every day, and get little time off –
and they do it all with a smile on
their face because they know they
are making someone’s life better.
The second thought I had was
strength. Those of you who knew
my dad, know that he was a big man
with enormous strength. He helped
me replace skirting around my
mobile home when I lived out in the
country. The wooden skirting was
nailed to wooden spikes which were
dug into the ground. I was using a
claw hammer to dig the nails out to
get the skirting off and was slipping
on the ground, as it was ice and snow
covered. Dad walked up behind me
and grabbed the wooden plank and
yanked it away from the spikes. I
wasn’t a weak person and when I
tried that, I kissed the ground once
more. But Dad taught me how to
use my strength which I would need
when I worked at Camp Courageous.
As a counselor, I used that strength
to push wheel chairs up hills and
through the woods, help campers in
and out of bed, the pool, chairs, etc.
and to lug camping equipment from
campsite to campsite.
The last thought I had was about
how both Dad and Camp Courageous
pushed me to be a better person. I
grew up believing that if I didn’t do
well in school, that all I could ever
do would be digging ditches, which
drove visions of the chain gangs in
Cool Hand Luke to a young girls
mind. Every time I brought home
“bad” grade (which for Dad was a
C or anything under), I was asked if
I wanted to be a ditch digger all my
life. That was the last C on my report
card. Working at Camp Courageous
taught me how grateful I should be
for all the things I take for granted,
like walking without help, being
able to run and jump, simple things
we don’t take the time to think about
until we can’t do them anymore.
The campers at Camp Courageous
taught me how to laugh at myself
and not worry so much on how you
look but what you feel inside, and
that every day is a good day.
Although my Dad’s death was
a shock and tremendous blow, I
feel very fortunate that I had an
opportunity to spend so much time
with him this past year working on
my house and moving. I also feel
fortunate that I was able to work for
Camp Courageous for a brief time
that ultimately changed my life. On
those hard days when bosses are
screaming for things, kids are calling
and overall life is not going the way
I want it, I remember that every day
is a good day.

Parrot Head Club Continues Support of Camp
The Isle of Iowa Parrot Head Club
was organized in April of 1997, and
is an official member of Parrot Heads
in Paradise, Inc. Their main purpose
is to gather like-minded people in the
appreciation of the music of Jimmy
Buffett, and the tropical and laid
back lifestyle it conveys. Perhaps
the easiest way to sum up the Parrot
Head Mantra is that it's OK to be a
kid, no matter what your age, even
if it may only be for just a while on
weekends!!
Their club has been steadily
growing since its inception, and now
has just over 200 members of all ages
and backgrounds. Their membership
not only hails from the Cedar Rapids/
Iowa City area, but they also have
members from all over the state of
Iowa as well as out of state.
We are grateful to the Club for taking
on Camp Courageous to benefit from
their Halloween Party… lots of fun
was had by all!
Special thank you to their officers:
Gordy Smith, President
Deb Kloos, Social Director
Mark Hennessey, Vice President

with a personal check or credit card (VISA or MasterCard).
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 can benefit from its sale, then please review
the V-DAC program. Due to the IRS laws, the easiest way

Program Specialists Dormitory
Plaque
Needs List (Page 5)
Camp Courageous appreciates all donations of items that
can be used at the camp. You can view the camp’s needs list
in this newsletter. You can also view an updated list on the
camp’s web site at www.campcourageous.org.
Currently staff is housed in a somewhat primitive
dormitory situation. It is the goal of the camp to build a
facility that will house 20 year-round program staff, where
each staff person will have their own room, with their own
bathroom, desk, bed, and more. Often times staff, when
on cabin duty, can be up for over 24 hours. When rest is
so important, being in your own room makes a world of
difference.
You can help with this project by purchasing a plaque
for $1,000. Your name, or the wording of your choice, will
appear on the plaque in the dorm. 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 E-mail at charlie@
campcourageous.org.
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].
Laser/Ink Cartridges & Cell Phones

the Mission Fish
Camp can redeem used laser printer toner cartridges,
used inkjet cartridges, and used cell phones for cash. Simply

e-mail at [email protected] or by phone at (319)
465-5916, ext. 2110.
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.
United Way (Donor Option)
Even though Camp Courageous of Iowa is

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.
Sponsor this newsletter! Help tell the story of Camp Courageous
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 the Courier runs approximately $10,000 an issue. By choosing an option below,

Where is Camp Courageous located?
IOW
After 33 years, 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.
