(L-R) Counselor Blythe Polito is
pictured with camper Zach Bollwitt.
Zach was so happy to see that Blythe
was his counselor this year since he
grew up across the street from her
in Monticello, IA. Zach is the son of
camp’s IT Director, Matt Bollwitt.
Fruitcakes are now on sale! For more details see page 6 or order online.
C.U.B.S. Ride Across State
includes Benefit for Camp
(L-R) Mike Conklin, Bruce Neeley
(Heartland Acres Executive
Director) and Jerry Turry (head
CUB). The C.U.B.S. (Chicago Urban
Bicycling Society) adopted Camp
Courageous about four years ago.
“It’s our way of thanking Iowans
for the wonderful hospitality
they show our group, such as
Heartland Acres, where their
annual banquet was held this
year. The C.U.B.S. have been in
existence for 12 years. They don’t
come any finer than this!
We highly recommend to anyone in the
Independence, IA area to check out Heartland
Arces, just to the North of Highway 20. This
beautiful facility is a trip back in time where one
can see vintage cars and farm equipment all in
facilities that are the latest and best. We can
not thank Heartland Acres’ Executive Director,
Bruce Neeley enough for his warm hospitality
and kindness shown the camp and C.U.BS.
Super C.U.B.S. member Keith North, made a
special trip all the way from Chicago for the
return of Captain Courageous. Keith is an
exceptional auctioneer… he made it the best
auction ever! Keith has roots in Charles City.
He is not only entertaining, but can really raise
money with his live auction.
Thank you to
everyone who helped
raise awareness of
the camp during this
year’s RAGBRAI
This summer’s RAGBRAI event passed through
Cascade, Iowa, home of counselor Erica
Manternach and her mother Karla, who has
also worked in camp’s nursing department.
Through their fund raiser for camp they used
part of the money to purchase these much
needed arts and crafts supplies pictured
above. Erica is camp’s Arts and Crafts specialist
this year and was able to pick up items that
were most needed. Thank you to Karla, Nick,
and Erica for all their work on this project!
Gwen Wrich of Grundy County, Iowa shared
some photos of their efforts to raise money
for Camp Courageous during RAGBRAI the
day it went by their farm.
Pictured is their tent for cookie sales and
much more. Their friends voted to have
their proceeds go to Camp Courageous as
their daughter Wendy comes here every
year and enjoys it very much.
Thank you to all the C.U.B.S. members for their support of the camp.

OCTOBER 2007 — Camp Courageous of Iowa — www.campcourageous.org
Week-Long Effort for Camp by staff at
A week in July was set aside as Camp Courageous Week
at Aegon. We are grateful for all the events they did for
camp! From bake sales, raffles, trivia contests, baskets for
the gala, a work day at camp, and so much more. Thank
you to Anna Taylor for heading up the workday and Chris
Vorhies for heading-up a lot of the camp/Aegon activities.
One of the many things they did for camp was to make
huge baskets for the pineapple gala… it took a bus with all
the seats up to get the baskets to camp. We are also grateful
for their support of the new dorm. Super company!
Aegon had a work day at Camp Courageous on a very hot Saturday. A lot
of work was completed including:
The Aegon Camp Courageous Committee is
seated in front of many beautiful baskets they
made for the Pineapple Gala. It is incredible
the amount of work that goes into these. We
are super grateful!
Michigan Whiners Support
Camp During Iowa Ride
During the Wednesday overnight
RAGBRAI stay in Cedar Falls we met
up with about 105 Michigan Whiners
at the Lutheran Home on University in
Cedar Falls. A very special thank you to
John Hallberg, D.V.M., PhD. Director, US
Animal Health Regulatory Affairs who was
camp’s main connection in introducing
Camp Courageous to these new friends.
John was a vet in Cascade for a number
of years and his wife is the daughter of the
late Bill Welter & his wife Monica.
The Whiner Bicycle Club has established
a tradition of giving back to the people of
Iowa though their generous support of
charitable organizations. In the spirit of
continuing this tradition they added Camp
Courageous. We are very grateful to this
wonderful group!
The making of 100s of cookies… campers love
these!
They planted many large trees!
A lot of dirt was moved on this day.
Thank you to all the Aegon volunteers…
The weeding of many of camp’s gardens. We
find that campers love to plant… but weeding
is not as popular.
Pictured above is John Hallberg, Sue Brewer,
and Steve Sutherland who were Camp
Courageous leaders in the Whiners Bicycle
Club raising money for camp.
The moving of
black dirt and
seeding an area
of camp was a
hot job!
Like
mother,
like
daughter…the cleaning of
the “brown house” which
will soon be moved from
camp to make room for
the dormitory was a big
job.
Marginal Note: There are hundreds of languages in the world, but a smile speaks all of them.

for all the good they have done for camp and
all the new friends they have introduced to
camp. They are one-in-a-million.

CAMP COURAGEOUS
Fruitcakes
20 years ago the late Leigh Clark, a Camp Courageous board
member, decided to come up with a fruitcake everyone would
enjoy – he must have found the right combination of nuts, fruit
and other ingredients because we are still making his famous
recipe fruitcakes today.
For over 35 years, longtime volunteers come out faithfully
in September to use the Camp kitchen to begin measuring all
the wet ingredients such as eggs and applesauce while others
mix the dry ingredients. It takes six days to bake and package
these cakes for customers. The camp has baked over 100,000
fruitcakes in the last 20 years.
They are made with the sweet fruit of green and red candied
cherries, pineapple, pecans, English walnuts, Brazil nuts and
mixed with golden raisins and sweetened coconut. These onepound fruitcakes contain no alcohol or citron. They are frozen
the day after baking and should be sliced frozen because they
are so rich and will crumble if sliced at room temperature. They
ORDER ONLINE AT
campcourageous.org
need to be stored, cut and served frozen.
A fruitcake lover wrote, “I only have to convince people to
try a piece – they sell themselves!” The fruitcake’s continued
stigma has not hurt these delicious cakes!
They make wonderful gifts!!!

Back-To-School Festival
Campers have a fun
time at Great Jones
County Fair
Thank you to John Harms and
the Jones County Fair Board for
providing an afternoon at the fair for
the campers. Evans United Shows
also provided one hour of rides for all
campers. Everyone had a great time!
Well over 1,000 people enjoyed a
sunshine-filled day of fun activities
during this year’s Back-To-School
Festival. The entire camp lawn was
filled with students and campers.
As individuals completed their
activities each received prizes for
their efforts.
A big thank you to all the
volunteers that helped to run the
activities, serve food, and so much
more. Events like this would be
nearly impossible without the help
of so many.
We look forward to seeing
everyone again at the Holiday
parties and also at the Spring Break
Bash in March.
(L-R) Pausing a
moment to pose
for a picture at the
fair are counselor
Bernadette
Kenyangi of
Kabale, Uganda
and camper Paige
Murphy of Cresco,
IA.
Campers had a great time with the rides and
games provided by Evans United Shows.
Marginal Note: In the childhood memories of every good cook, there’s a large kitchen, a warm stove, a simmering pot, and a mom.

Thank you for helping make this dream come true!
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 June 22, 2007 to September 19, 2007.
Hot items each year at the Pineapple Gala are
the beautiful items hand crafted by Paulette
and Pat Schmitz of Delaware, Arkansas. With
Paulette and Pat is their grandson, Hunter,
and Paulette’s sister, Peggy Weber of Jesup,
who introduced them to Camp Courageous. A
fun bunch!
The Annual Grand Master’s Motorcycle
Run on July 28, was a huge success.
Riders came from the Missouri River to
the Mississippi River and all points in
between. The event started at Brubaker
Lodge No. 677 in Davenport and the
ride ended at Camp Courageous. Several
participation prizes were awarded at
Camp Courageous. All funds raised by
this activity were donated to Camp
Courageous. Special thanks to Rick
Bowersox and Don Mosier for doing a
lot of the legwork to make this a success.
(Below) The Grand Master of Masons
in Iowa, Dennis M. Zahrt, has been an
exceptional leader and supporter of
Camp Courageous over his past year as
Grand Master. We cannot thank Dennis
and his wife, Janet, enough.
A second well was drilled on the Weepie
Addition after the first 300+ foot well could not
keep up with the demand of the five homes
and the Carver Center, where the horses are
kept and other activities take place. The new
well is 600+ feet deep and we hope it will do
the job for decades to come. Camp is also
looking at digging well #3 for the main camp.

It was a treat to have (L-R) Bob Shafer, his
wife Sheila, and mother Naomi from Mount
Ayr stop by camp and see firsthand the camp
they have been supporting for years through
their Jay-Lynn-O Golf group. For years they
have done the impossible on golf courses
across the country to benefit camp. Camp’s
good supporters Sally and Harland Hawker of
Monticello joined the tour. The Hawkers and
the Shafers are long time friends through their
work with FarMutual Insurance.
The Shafers stand beside the Jay-Lynn-O block
which indicates their donation for the pool.
It is always a treat to have Don and Marilou
Simpson of Milan, IL at camp. They lived at the
camp while donating over two years of their
lives towards the dream of Camp Courageous…
Don volunteering in maintenance and Marilou
helping in the kitchen. A wonderful couple.
Their help continues with fruitcakes, collecting
tabs, and numerous other ways.
It was nice to have the Martins at camp. Here are
Doug Martin and his son Jon from Fayetteville,
Ohio.
Doug’s mother, Shirley Martin of
Anamosa, provided them with a great tour.
Marginal Note: Home is a place where you take off your new shoes and put on your old manners.

Thank you to The Greater Cedar Rapids
Open for having Camp Courageous as
their primary charity!
Some of the great workers from the Greater
Cedar Rapids Open include (L-R) front row:
Sue Wolrab, Deanna Rodman, Jim Winker
(Chairman), and Joe DiNucci. Back row:
Carroll Ross, Mark Davis, Brian Wilson, and Jim
McPartland.
Bob Brooks joins Jim McPartland and Jim
Winker on stage for awards and thanks!
The event had a nice crowd this year. A special
thank you to all those that donated to and bid
on items at their annual dinner and auction,
which benefited camp.
We are very grateful to long-time camp
supporter, Myron Schiebe, and Tami Wilcox
of Shive Hattery’s Moline office, for working
on all the paper work that comes with
putting in another public well at camp.
Myron has been involved in camp for about
20 years. His neighbors, the MacNameras,
first introduced him to camp through their
daughter, Erin, who was a camper. Greg
Boheman (right) is camp’s maintenance
director.

Don Burger named
Knight of the Year
Published in full in the Citizen Herald May 30, 2007 by Deb Holt
Speechless is not a
word usually associated
with Don Burger of
Jesup. However, that’s
how his wife, Louise,
described him when
he learned that he had
been named Knight of
the Year for the state of
Iowa.
This is not a small
achievement; there are
over 31,000 members of the Knights of Columbus
in the state. Burger learned about winning this
prestigious award at the KC State Convention
which was held at the Sullivan Center in Waterloo
from May 4-6. Burger will have been a member
of the Father Ferring Council #8227 Knights of
Columbus for 25 years this fall. He is a charter
member.
He has been very active during his years as a
KC and is a VIP Club Award Winner, which is
a National Award given for personally proposing
over 100 new members and has worked as the
Mentally Handicapped Fund Drive Chairman for
his council, which has been a large benefit for
Camp Courageous.
“I’m very honored to receive this award,” said
Burger after having had time to collect his thoughts
on earning the honor. “To have been chosen from
31,000 Knights in the state of Iowa …” The
works of the Knights of Columbus center around
community, church, youth, Council and family.
Burger strongly believes in these entities. “If I
didn’t, I wouldn’t be working so hard recruiting
all these people,” he said. “Just because I got this
(award), I won’t quit.”
Louise believes that Don’s strongest gift to the
KCs has been his enthusiasm for the Knights.
“When he talks to people about the Knights,
he talks from his heart,” she explained. “The
members grow as men in the KCs. They’re always
doing something for somebody.”
The Father Ferring Council #8227 in Jesup
is one of the most active Councils in the state,
according to Don. And they have been longtime,
big supporters of Camp Courageous. “There
were only 30 members in 1983, and we have 190
members now,” Burger said.
Camp Courageous is happy for Don & Louise
and appreciative for their years of dedicated
service to Camp Courageous.
Don Burger of Jesup continues to be a huge help
to camp by transporting donated items from the
Jesup area to camp. Thank you to Karen Frost (R)
for bringing a number of needed items to camp.
Don also brought art and craft items from Leroy
& Norma Westemeier of Independence.

In memory of…
I had the good
fortune of meeting
Bill Quarton through
Tait & Dotty Cummins
in about 1980. Tait
often told the story
of presenting Bill his
resignation,
upon
applying for the
Sports job at WMT in
the mid 40s. Tait told
Bill he could let him
go at any time…Bill
just wanted a chance. Dotty Cummins used
to call on “Mr Quarton” every year for the
Pineapple Gala. She would go in calling him
Mr. Quarton… and as soon as he said, “why
sure I’ll help,” his name would change to Bill.
One year Dotty asked Bill if he had anything
that could be auctioned off at the Pineapple
Gala. Bill looked around his office and pulled
an autographed picture of Presidents Nixon,
Ford, Carter, Bush, and Reagan off the wall.
He had received it from George Forestner at
Amana. I bought that piece at the Gala, which
started my Presidential collection…a keepsake
from two great men.
Bill Quarton was a gentleman of incredible
integrity. A man extremely respected in his
profession. More importantly he crossed all
lines and was admired and loved by all those
who crossed paths with him. Like many others,
I was always thrilled and honored when he
would call me and invite me to have lunch with
him. Even though he was interested in Camp
Courageous and me… I was swept off my feet
with the history he lived and made. I could
spend all day with him and still want to come
back for more. He was such a great resource of
knowledge. I feel very blessed our paths had
crossed. What a wonderful legacy Bill Quarton
has left for everyone.
Some of Bill Quarton’s favorite quotes and
sayingsRemember, you don’t have to FEEL good, to
DO good.
A good attitude shields the elderly from
frailty!
True happiness consists not in the multitude
of friends, but in their worth and value.
A large income is the best recipe for
happiness I ever heard of.
The best thing about growing old is that it
takes a long time.
“There is so much beauty in the world, if
people only look for it. And if they would
look for it, more would be created. Then as
beauty captures the imagination, the ugliness
of war, and of crime, and filth would begin to
disappear…-Bill Quarton

All Aboard!!!
Camp has been given a great
opportunity. Tom and Nan Riley from
Cedar Rapids has offered to donate a
train to Camp Courageous. This is a train
large enough to give rides to campers
and provide years of enjoyment. We
need help-- this is not an inexpensive
undertaking. The rails, the ties and the
gravel are all expensive.
We would like to be able to find
additional wheel sets to build a passenger
car. At this point we need businesses and
individuals to come on board to help
fund this massive project. We will also
need many volunteers to help install this
rail system. Contact Thom Kirk with your
questions at 319-465-5916 or send E-mail
to: [email protected]

Thank you to Honorary Board Member, Helen
Watts (4th from the right) for inviting her PEO
Chapter IP of Dubuque for a light dinner, DVD
program, and tour of Camp Courageous. This
wonderful group had a warm and genuine
interest in camp and brought many needed
items with them. Many old memories were
shared!
The faces behind the names. (L-R) Frank
Balvanz and Leo Greco share a moment during
Variety Time on Sunday mornings on WMT.
You can get the camp report at 8:30 AM and
12:30 PM on Sundays.
Camp Courageous is very grateful to the BiState Volkswagen Club! This group picked
Camp Courageous to benefit from their
August Picnic and Show in Hampton, IL. Here
President Matt Reed presents a carload (which
a 1968 VW Bug can hold a lot) of stuffed
animals and numerous other items for the
campers…which was a huge hit back at camp.
The Club also donated nearly $1,000 from
their special day. We are very grateful to these
German Sports Car Enthusiasts!
Congratulations to
Jim Brinkerhoff
of Center Point, who is the winner of the
Cedar Valley Street Rod Engine Raffle.
Jim was very excited about winning since
he is currently building a street rod. Jim
bought his ticket at Cruisin’ For Camp
Courageous. A special thank you to Scott
Sperry who built and donated the motor!

2007 Pineapple Gala is an Outstanding Success!
Ready for a drawing for a trip for two to Hawaii
are: (L-R) emcee Ralph Palmer from The Ar-Jay
Center, who provides the air for this trip; emcee
Ashley Hinson from KCRG; and from Travel &
Transport, Diane Stickney, who provides the
Hawaii accommodations.
Extremely key to the success of the Pineapple
Gala is Tom & Barb Eggleston. They work the
year-round putting together packages and
gathering items for the next year’s gala. About
half the items come from their efforts. Tom
already has things collected for 2008!

It says a lot about the camp, when all camp’s
ex-auditors decide to be a part of the camp’s
Pineapple Gala. No other group knows more
about the day-to-day operations of the camp,
than the auditors. They receive the board’s daily
reports 365 days a year, and spend days going
through the camp’s books and everything we
do, to make sure we are doing everything to
meet the latest standards and laws. They are
a wonderful group! They are so good… they
even discovered Elvis Presley at the Gala!
A couple that work year-round for camp is
Christine and Terry Brosh of Solon. Christine
has been on the Pineapple Committee for over
10 years.

This sharp float was part of the Coralville 4th of
July parade and was driven by Board President,
Brian Gay. Brian has been very active in
keeping the word about Camp Courageous in
the public’s eye.
Thank you to Sarah Glover of Michigan
who came to camp and volunteered a week
in nursing and as a counselor. She did an
exceptional job! Her family has been involved
in camp since the early 80s. Her grandparents
(my uncle and aunt) often came to Iowa to
visit the camp, and both had their memorials
go to camp. We look forward to seeing Sarah
volunteering at camp again in 2008. She
enjoys most doing for those who have the
least… she was perfect for “Just For You” week,
when campers require total care.
I was very impressed with Miller Logging
out of Dubuque, who came in and
cleared the area for the new dormitory.
Very impressive equipment used in
an extremely professional manner.
Major update on the William Beckwith
Dormitory will appear in the next Courier.
Marginal Note: The poorest people are not those who don’t have a cent, but those who don’t have a dream.

Mini-Golf Course
Project Creates New
Camper Activity
The St. Mary’s Sacred Heart group
in Center Point, Iowa got a new minigolf course project to an amazing
start this summer. They assisted in
the design of the entire course and
worked on installing the first phase of
the project. The pictures below show
the group as they work on completing
the first four holes.
Thank you to all the donors that
helped to make this golf course
possible. This new activity will be
enjoyed by thousands of campers for
years to come.

IRAs and Charity
Recently, Congress OK’d direct
contributions from IRAs to charity. In 2006
and 2007, owners at least age 70.5 can
donate up to $100,000 a year from their
retirement accounts, and the gifts count
toward the owner’s required minimum
distribution. One gets no deduction, but
does get a tax break because the money
is not included in one’s taxable income,
as it would be if one withdrew funds.
Not only is this simpler than taking a
distribution, giving the money to charity
and then claiming a deduction, but it also
can save money if including the payout in
one’s income would squeeze tax breaks,
such as the value of personal exemptions
and itemized deductions, that phase out
as income rises. Note that to qualify for
the break, one can not give the money
to a donor-advised fund or a supporting
private foundation. As always, consult a
tax advisor for additional information.

Happy 50th Birthday, Joe Mara!!
Dear Charlie and Shannon,
Thank you so much for the wonderful
party for Joe (Mara) and our family. It was
so great for him.
The party girls were perfect. Thanks for
caring enough to do it.
It was sooooooo good for all of us to
see the dance and how they all enjoy
everything. We all take so much for
granted, don’t we?
God Bless all of you for your unending
work. You are definitely doing God’s work
everyday. What satisfaction that must
bring to all of you. May He wash you with
His Peace and Joy.
Sincerely,
Judy and Larry Block
Above are some of the girls that
entertained Joe Mara for his 50th birthday
Party. Those of you who donate those
prom dresses, etc… they are being used!

In memory of…
Louie Morf was
a gentleman, in
every sense of the
word. A soft-spoken
leader in Monticello,
his passing has
left a tremendous
void. Affectionately
referred
to
by
many of us as the
“Energizer Bunny”,
Louie never was
without a special
project or work. He
started his career as a teacher, and he never
stopped teaching. He was a caring person
who many sought out for advice. Most would
consider a 38-year career in any line of work,
worthy of full retirement. But Louie never
retired from anything.
Louie had a heart-of-gold. Louie and
Marcella Morf took a very personal interest
in people and followed closely their families
and careers. The success of others was treated
as if it was their own personal success. Both
coming from the field of education, they never
lost their genuine love for children. It says a lot
about a person when they are in their 80s and
their friendships cross all generations. To be in
your 80s and be recognized by the community,
as Grand Marshals of the 4th of July Parade
and be recognized by the schools, as Grand
Marshals of the Homecoming Ceremonies,
says a lot about this wonderful couple and
how much this community thought of them.
Louie was a friend to all. He was also a person
who followed the golden rule, “if you can’t
say something nice, don’t say anything at
all.” Louie was the perfect Ambassador for
Monticello.
When Jones Regional Medical Facility was
looking for an Honorary Chair to represent the
Monticello area with a possible new hospital
campaign...a person who was highly respected
by all...a person of integrity and high values...a
person that represented all things good...
Louie Morf’s name was the first to come up.
Jones Regional Medical Facility was honored
when Louie accepted this position...but that
was who Louie was...anything that would be
for the betterment of the community, the
county, or anyone in need, he was there.
Thousands recognized Louie as one of the
first smiling faces to greet you at the Camp
Courageous Open House/Breakfasts as he
opened the door for you. Louie loved Camp
Courageous, was involved since the beginning,
and was always there to help. For years he
provided every staff person an 8”X10” picture
of the entire group…over the years he gave
away nearly a 1,000 of these keepsakes.
Bill Quarton, who died just a few days
before Louie at 104-years-old said, “The best
thing about growing old is that it takes a long
time.” Louie always had another group to help,
another newcomer to welcome to Monticello
through the Ambassadors, another project
to help with… Dotty Cummins told me that
when an older person dies, it is like a library
that burns to the ground. Louie’s library was
over flowing. As Rev. Jean Sullivan stated
during Louie’s service, “His life has given more
than death can take away.” Louie Morf has
left a wonderful legacy. Monticello’s sincerest
sympathy goes out to Marcella and their entire
family and friends.

This camper group traveled to Branson, MO.
this summer to enjoy the sights and sounds.
Here they pose next to Branson’s version of
Mt. Rushmore.
Pictured is the camper group that went to
Kansas City for a weekend trip. This trip was
a “wheeling” trip for those that require oneto-one assistance on trips. They were able
to enjoy a baseball game on their trip and
some airplanes were on display from the local
National Guard unit. (L-R) Pictured are, front:
Jeremy Neswold of Ankeny, IA, Greg Martinez
of Monticello, IA, Ed Meyer of Chariton, IA, and
Mike Nowachek of Monticello, IA. Back row:

Matt Willson of Sydney, Austrailia, camper

Abe Zamora of Bell Gardens, CA, and the crew
of the airplane.

Making Quilts for Camp??
We are constantly asked about what size quilts
work best for the beds at Camp Courageous of
Iowa. Here is what will fit best with the camper
beds:
84” in length
64”
wide
Materials that launder best:
• Cotton
• Permanent Press
The measurements provided will fit camper
beds perfectly. The camp will get the best use
of your donation with these sizes.
Thank you! The campers enjoy the
warmth of the quilts and they make
the cabins look wonderful.

Camp Lodge
1:30 PM to 4:00 PM
Admission is your donation to camp.
Bring snacks if you like. All callers and cuers are welcome.
Sponsored by the East Central Federation
& Cedar Valley Callers Association.
Thank you to Marion Dehut of Jesup for
donating her husband’s hospital bed to Camp
Courageous and a big thank you to Don Burger
of Jesup for loading it (with the help of some
Knights) and delivering it to camp. Don and
Louise Burger have been dear friends of camp
and have introduced many families and friends
to Camp Courageous.
(Standing L-R) Bev Hocker and Dorothy Lamm
and sitting is Sylvia Eckmeier. These wonderful
ladies brought to camp a carload of donations
and monetary donations from St. Paul’s United
Church of Christ in Donnellson. Dorothy Lamm
has been involved with camp since 1980. Her
two daughters were exceptional students
when I taught at Central Lee in the 70s . A great
congregation, made up of some of the nicest
people one could meet. Thank you ladies for
making the journey and touring camp.
Special thank you to Ellis Smith from Cummins
Central Power for their donation of a HomeSite
Power Generator. This was a wonderful item that
was a huge hit at the Pineapple Gala. Cummins are
also very good about buying a table at the gala too!

(L-R) Having an obviously great and messy
time during an evening program are counselor
Britta Volz of Silver Spring, MD and camper
Mitchell Hutchison of St. Charles, IA. This
was Mitchell’s second year attending Camp
Courageous.
(L-R) Pictured in the camp’s Nature Center

camper Evan Grant of Storm Lake, IA. These
two quickly realized that they shared similar
taste in eyeware.
(L-R) Camper Mike Johnson of Clinton, IA and
counselor Abe Zamora of Bell Gardens, CA

was the second year that Mike attended Camp
Courageous and the counselors were glad to

Camp Courageous has been honored
every year since the beginning to receive
camperships from the Iowa VFW and Auxilary.
Here, behind the podium, is State Commander
Richard Goebel and State President Kathy
Harding. We are grateful for the VFW &
Auxiliaries year-round support of camp!
Board member, Harland Hetzler donated
two wonderful carvings for the Pineapple
Gala. Harland’s ability to carve wood is a real
treasure! These items are priceless!
It was a real treat to give a program to the
Durant Lioness. This super group is one of
those that really accomplishes a lot and has
been wonderful to camp. We appreciate their
car full of needed items for the camp and
their financial support. Special thanks to Vicki
Meyer and Jenne Happ for their hospitality
and for inviting the camp.
(L-R)
Emogene
Sorgenfrey
and
Alberta Knudsen of
Durant show two

Thank you ladies for your beautiful labor of love…
the campers will love them this fall and winter!

Tom Riley, board member Winnie Williams,
Tom’ son-in-law and track builder Harold
Brown, Lynn Kobliska of Virginia (camp
train coordinator), Jim Heise, Mechanical

Everyone is very excited about this new
addition to the camp.
A big thank you to Lynn Kobliska and his
wife Martha of Virginia for providing us
a wonderful time while in a conference
in Washington DC. Lynn is camp’s train
project coordinator (see pictures above).
Lynn works for the Justice Dept. and
Martha works for Homeland Security. Two
long distance wonderful camp supporters!

Thank you to Mark Ward, Grand Chancellor
of the Knights of Pythias for choosing Camp
Courageous as his project for the year. We
had a great time at their August Convention
in Cedar Rapids. Mark, who resides in
Maquoketa, and shared a mutual friend in
Honorary Board Member, Muriel Allen, has
been a long time supporter of camp.
Dee Brown, representing Alliant Energy,
presents Camp Courageous with two checks.
One represents Alliant’s sponsorship of the
Pineapple Gala and the other check represents
volunteer time spent by Alliant employees at
Camp. We are grateful to Alliant for their years
of service. They have been involved with the
camp since Day 1.
It is always a treat to be invited to First Baptist
Church in Independence to give a program
and an update on Camp Courageous. Dr.
David Larson, above, the Senior Pastor, does
an exceptional job. The church as a whole and
ladies’ group have been great supporters of
the camp. They more than filled the car!

Thank You to All Helping
So much would not be possible
without VOLUNTEERS!
Thank you to all of the people that have volunteered their valuable time at the camp. Pictured on this page, and throughout this
newsletter, are just a few of the many faces that have come to camp over the past few months to share their valuable time and energies.
Pictured above is the Beth Eden U.M.C. group
from Illinois that was here this summer. They
built the hay storage area inside of Carver and
worked on the mini golf area. They have been
coming for many years and do a wonderful job
every time they come. Their many hands save
us many hours.
Thank you to Mark Kilburg and his son Seth
from Preston, IA. Mark and Seth spent a day
power washing some of camp’s stone buildings
in preparation for sealing.
Camp appreciated this family and friend that
came to help in maintenance for a day. Pictured
(L-R) are Kyann Pillard, Melissa Prier, Clinton
Prier, Donna Prier, and Holly Prier.
Pictured above is a work group from the Best
Buy store in Cedar Rapids, IA. They helped with
the new mini-golf course that is located behind
the camp’s pool. Projects like the golf course
are only possible with the help of groups like
this one… thank you!
Thank you again to this group of freshman
from Cornell College in Mt. Vernon, IA. Each
fall the incoming Cornell freshman spread
throughout the area doing service projects for
many different groups. Camp is lucky to have

Thank you to the St. Mary’s Sacred Heart work
group that came up with the mini golf design
and installed the first 4 holes, the sidewalk, and
the center area with the flowers. This group
has assisted the camp many times and they
are always eager to jump right in on a project.
They came out many times leading up to the
weekend they were here to get things prepped
and ready.

Nursing Volunteer Melissa Hobbs
Camp’s nursing
department was
fortunate to have
Melissa Hobbs
volunteer for a week.
During her time at
camp she assisted
with many camper
medications that are
distributed each day.
Below is an excerpt
from a paper she
prepared for a class
she is attending.
The week I spent at Camp Courageous
helped to restore my faith in the human
service system; the camp provides programs
that really do meet the needs of each
individual camper. The counselors, nursing
personnel, program staff, and administrators
are all highly qualified and dedicated to
performing their various functions to keep
the camp running smoothly. I have no
criticism of the camp…only praise. I would
highly recommend the program, and I am
proud to say I was a part of the organization,
if only for one short week.
The quality of programming that Camp
Courageous provides depends in part on
recruiting people who are willing to volunteer
their time to work with participants, assist in
maintaining and improving camp facilities,
and helping out with a multitude of other
tasks. I was given the opportunity to make
a positive difference in people’s lives by
sharing some of my time, and I also gained
valuable experience that I shall carry with
me throughout the rest of my life. I would
encourage anyone seeking a volunteer
position to contact the camp.

Thank you to everyone
helping to keep

Courageous alive.
How can you or your group help?
Opportunities to Help Camp Courageous of Iowa
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 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) 4655916, 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
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.
Program Specialists Dormitory Plaque
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.
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.
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
eBay Auctions and the
Mission Fish Option
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.
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.
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, your help will bring Camp Courageous closer to its goal of underwriting the entire cost of
the Courier. Please contact Matt Bollwitt at 319-465-5916 ext 2110 for more information.

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.
