Pictured with AJ is Counselor Katie LeClaire of Midland, MI. Sprint Triathlon Aug. 4th • Pineapple Sales Aug. 7-11 & Pineapple Gala Aug. 16th Camp Courageous is a year-round recreational and respite care facility for individuals of all ages with disabilities.1 Camp Courageous profoundly saddened and shocked by the passing of Lynn Kobliska Lynn Kobliska had his roots in Waterloo, IA. When he moved to the Washington DC area and began work with the US Department of Justice, U.S. Marshals Service, he discovered Camp Courageous as a “Combined Federal Campaign” charity and began supporting the camp in 2000. In June of 2007 Lynn visited Camp Courageous with his Dad, Harlan. During the tour we visited about a train that was being given to camp by Tom & Nan Riley. Lynn lit-up! Lynn loved trains and thus began a very close relationship, that ended way too soon. Lynn took weeks and weeks of vacation time to come back to Iowa to help lay the train track, meet with Iowa State Engineering students working on car design, he sought out donations of equipment and supplies, attended the Pineapple Gala, provided camperships, and so much more. D.C. visitors like royalty. One could not have known a nicer couple. Martha is with Homeland Security and formerly with the Secret Service. While recently visiting the Kobliskas in DC, Lynn introduced me to dozens of his friends as… ”this is Charlie Becker from Camp Courageous…you know the camp I’m always talking about,” and they knew exactly what he was talking about. Lynn was working on obtaining a caboose for the camp prior to his passing. Lynn Kobliska will be forever remembered at Camp Courageous for his incredible dedication, his great sense of humor, and for being such a good and caring person. He will be profoundly missed… Lynn Kobliska pictured during one of his many trips to Camp Courageous to work on the camp’s train. The last project that Lynn was working on before his death was trying to obtain a caboose for the campers to enjoy. (L-R) Riding the camp train is one of the most popular activities at Camp Courageous. Pictured enjoying a ride this summer are Brian Kersten of Rochelle, IL, Taylor Trelka of Sturgeon Bay, WI, Troy Wolfe of Iowa City, IA, and Cal Brus of Muscatine, IA. Lynn in a conference room of the U.S. Justice Department. On Lynn’s office wall was the Camp Courageous Trail Blazer Award Lynn received for his Exceptional Volunteerism and on tables were items from camp, like a gold train spike, given out to the key individuals in the building of the train at camp. Lynn’s wife, Martha, was also very involved with Camp. They were truly a joy to be around, and they treated 2 Lynn with his daughter, Jenny, at her recent wedding. The best part of a train ride at Camp Courageous is how it weaves through the forest around the camp. Pictured on this ride through the woods is (L-R) camper Gene Daniels of Dixon, IL and Counselor Jenny Welch of Storm Lake, IA.

Participants could have their guitar re-strung for free simply by bringing in an item to donate to Camp Courageous. Shown is Suzanne with some of the wonderful items donated.

Many of the beautiful flowers, trees, and so much more at camp, can be traced back to Lynn! Just a wonderful gentleman. www.campcourageous.org 4 Each year Tom and Karri Parrott hosts a holiday party.

He has a heart of gold and is always the last to leave the autograph and greet session, until that last camper has had a chance to visit and have something signed.

The Hiawatha VFW Auxillary has been collecting card fronts and Bev delivered a total of 6089! The Hope UCC Quilters have also been busy, making eleven lovely quilts for the camper beds. Shown is Bev with the quilts and several boxes of the card fronts. Looks like the campers will be busy and warm! Thanks to Bev, the Hiawatha VFW and Hope UCC quilters. VOLUNTEER & EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES - FALL 2013 SEASONAL OR YEAR-ROUIND Consider applying for a volunteer or paid position at Camp Courageous this Fall. Working with adults with special needs is often a very real challenge. Campers may need help with personal care 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, consider applying for a position at camp. Room and board are provided Non-smokers only. Fall: August 21 – November 22 Positions: Camp Counselors & Nature/Equestrian Specialist Apply online by accessing the camp’s website at www.campcourageous.org. Program employment contact: Jeanne Muellerleile, Camp Director jeanne@campcourageous. org Ph. 319-465-5916 ext. 2300 Volunteer and/or respite care weekend employment contact: Shannon Poe, Volunteer/Respite Care Director [email protected] Ph. 319-465-5916 ext 2320 19 A huge thank you to the Center Point United Methodist Church for their incredible out pouring of gifts for Camp Courageous. They took the camp's needs list and made a contest out of obtaining as much as they could. Joel Weber and Ken Graham (above) had a large van overflowing with items...and things kept showing up after their big load. We cannot thank the congregation enough for their out pouring. LeRoy and Ernestine Finnegan from Camanche IA delivered another of their wonderful donations to camp. These longtime friends of Camp Courageous make a few trips each year with much needed items from camp’s needs list. It’s alway nice to see this lovely couple. A big thank you to Rachel Krebs who collects cans to benefit Camp Courageous in the Durant and Wilton area. Here she presents a check for $580! She is following in the footsteps of her sister, who also helped camp through cans. Thank you to Phil Hershner who gave Camp Courageous the opportunity to give a program to the Cedar Rapids Sunrise Rotary. Great group, and it was nice to have Lance Greco also in attendance. 20 Cynde and Bob Lemley NEW VIENNA, IA Marlene Hoeger Lawrence and Rita Lansing Bob and Loey McCabe - In memory of Gerald Engelken and Carl Kremer Frederick and Carol Vorwald - In memory of Gerald “Sunshine” Engelken Joseph Walters Larry and Mary Westhoff Citizens State Bank - In memory of Gerald Engelken NEWHALL, IA Gerald and Marilyn Johnson Mary Johnson - In memory of Norman G.

These delightful lades spent the morning folding and organizing camper T-shirts and doing some projects in nursing. They also brought along some much needed items off camp’s needs list. It is always a treat to have these ladies visit A big thank you to Dr. Ron Hill and Greg Barns who are donations from their Dewitt Noon Lions meeting. A fun group who do so much for camp the year-round. 5020 Council St NE • 393-1359 • 800-391-1359 • www.duagency.com Always a treat to have the Delmar Lions out to camp to do a day of heavy labor. One group where the tougher the job, the more they like it! Camp Courageous was very fortunate to have a friend in Virgil Crofter of Mt. Vernon. Virgil was related to the Pitlik Family and like them, chose to be supportive of the camp. In Virgil's final will, after everything was distributed to others, he left the residue and remainder of his estate to Camp Courageous, where it was put into the Camp’s Perpetual Fund, and will go to support the camp forever, never touching the principal. Here to present the check and a picture of Virgil by one of his old cars is his (L-R) nephew, Mark Sedlacek (Executor) and Doug Wolfe (Executor/Attorney). It was great to work with these gentleman. Virgil had a large collection of autographs of items from mostly CountryWestern celebrities, which were auctioned. A fascinating man, who has left a wonderful legacy at camp. Roger Smith of Anamosa spent a day with Dennis Bayne from Camp Courageous introducing him to his many friends in the Quad Cities area. Rogers is a wonderful supporter of Camp Courageous and we appreciate all that he has done for the camp. Dave Bell, President of SpecCast, stands before hundreds of die-cast cars that will be sold at this year's Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Stores Convention in Dubuque. Dave has been doing this for over 25 years for the camp and over the years it has raised thousands. Dave is a great friend of the camp and a great friend of PMCI. We look forward to this year personally thanking him in Dubuque. Thank you to the Kwik Trip stores in Cedar Rapids on Mt. Vernon Rd. and Collins Road for collecting money for Camp Courageous. This money will also go towards the new garden. (L) Nicki Brodeson of Earl May in Cedar Rapids (North store) donated dozens of tomato plants, pepper plants, herbs, onion bulbs, and more to Camp Courageous in order for a camp garden to be started. Pictured with Niki is camp’s Aly Jobson. Located between the lodge and Menster cabin, the camp garden will offer fresh herbs and produce to be used in the kitchen and a new activity for campers. We are excited! Marginal Note: You change your life by changing your heart. (L-R) Camper Brandon Berger is getting geared up for the tree climb. Pictured with Brandon is volunteer Counselor Miki Freese from Lincoln, NE. 25 Long-time camp supporter, Rosemary Bailey, of Anamosa, IA recently passed away, with her memorials going to Camp Courageous. Rosemary, and her husband, Dr. John Bailey, had been involved with Camp Courageous since Day 1. Rosemary was a very sharp lady, who loved to read, and was an exceptional teacher. She was always a joy to be around and as her son, Phillip, eulogized her, she could be a “Wild Rose” which made her unique and fun. Camp’s sympathy goes out to Dr. John, as Rosemary was the love of his life for 65 years, and to their sons, William, Brian, and Philip and their family and friends. Camp Courageous’ sympathy goes out to the family of Wilma Guetzko of Delhi, who recently passed away. Wilma was a wonderful volunteer at the Manchester Garage Sale and participated in the Square Dance Benefit and other camp activities. Wilma was a joy to work with and always willing to pitch in when help was needed. She will be dearly missed! Long time camp promoter and supporter Ken Duncan has passed away. Back in 1980 Manchester Board Member Alfred Egger brought Ken to a Camp Courageous Board Meeting and said that Ken was the finest person he knew and strongly recommended Ken to the board. Alfred had started the Manchester Garage Sale, which turned into camp’s largest ongoing fund raiser. Ken was overwhelmed at the time with work and family so he passed on the board opportunity, but both Ken and his wife, Lois, put their hearts into camp in so many other ways. From helping at the Garage Sale to selling Camp to the Lions… they did so much to better Camp Courageous. Ken was one of the first individuals I met upon coming to Camp and we stayed dear friends all these years. He will be greatly missed. Ken Duncan’s family writes, “‘Camp Courageous of Iowa is a cause that was near-and-dear to Dad's heart. In lieu of flowers please direct your remembrances to them…” - Charlie Donations can be made in memory of a loved one by using the form on the back of this newsletter, on the envelope included, or from the camp’s web site. An acknowledgement card about your gift can be sent to an address you provide. 26 Long-time supporter Ruth Kinzey promotes Camp Courageous in her latest book When long-time Camp Courageous supporter Ruth Kinzey started writing her second book on nonprofit public relations, she knew including a chapter on donor and volunteer engagement was essential. Not because everyone talks about it but because research has proven the necessity of involving donors and volunteers to create brand ambassadors who spread the word about the nonprofit through word of mouth and participation. When she looked to interview someone on the subject, she turned to Camp Courageous Executive Director Charlie Becker. In Kinzey’s book, Promoting Nonprofit Organizations: A Reputation Management Approach, she asks Becker the key to involving these two groups, which are critical to the success and operation of the Camp. While he explained the strategy in greater detail, his initial comment said it all: “At Camp Courageous of Iowa, we emphasize that everyone can participate in some way.” Becker also complimented the Camp’s many supporters saying: “Engagement comes when people witness others demonstrating exceptional dedication and true love for the mission of an organization. The actions of our volunteers serve as an example to inspire others.” Congratulations to Kay Graber for receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award from the The Brain Injury Alliance of Iowa’s East Central Chapter. Presenting the award is Joe Linn, East Central BIAIA President. Kay was instrumental in starting the organization back in about 1980. Kay’s son, Mark, was involved in a jeep accident in 1980 and died in 1983. She took a personal tragedy and turned it into a blessing for many…when one door closed for Kay…many opened for others. Kay is a wonderful lady! Camp Courageous was fortunate to be a part of the early years of this great organization, helping with their organizational foundation, putting together a multi-media presentation and more. It has been a thrill to see the Brain Injury Alliance touch so many lives. Other subjects addressed in the book are: crisis communication; strategic communication planning; social media; cause-related marketing; and nonprofit sustainable citizenship. A reputation strategist with 35 years of experience, Kinzey has packaged her practical knowledge and extensive research into an easy-to-read book to help communicators pro actively promote and market their nonprofit through good times and to strategically manage through crises. She is a reputation strategist, consultant, trainer and author. As an employee of CRST, Ruth opened more doors for camp during the first years of the pineapple campaign when few knew of Camp Courageous and no one had heard of a fund raiser using pineapple. She had Tait and Dotty Cummins and Charlie Becker going 24/7. Anything she touched turned to gold. More about her book, published by Routledge, can be found at www.routledge.com or www.amazon.com. Thank you to Doyle and Charlie Pettit for delivering a large donation of food, art and craft items, over-the-counter medications, and personal care items from the Benton County American Legion Auxiliary. Every month President, Rachel Pettit, and the ladies select a charity to support. During the month of March, these ladies chose Camp Courageous. They have been dedicated in obtaining items off the camp’s needs list, along with collecting checks for the camp. Super group! July 2013 - Camp Courageous - www.campcourageous.org Iowa State Coaches visit Camp Courageous! Camper Annie Schlarmann is a huge fan of ISU and Football Coach Paul Rhoads! Camper Kevin Ahrendsen meets one of his heros, Kevin Jackson, ISU wrestling coach. Iowa State coaches, from left, Kevin Jackson (wrestling); Bill Fennelly (women's basketball), Fred Hoiberg (men's basketball), Paul Rhoads (football), Jamie Pollard - Director of Athletics, and Christy Johnson (volleyball), along with Cy are a huge hit at Camp Courageous! A very special thank you to Leanne Moats, who planted the seed to make this dream come true in the eyes of many campers! Thank you to Lorraine Husmann, formerly of Monticello, now living in Clinton, for her wonderful labor of love, making quilts for the camper’s beds. Lorraine and her late husband, Irv, have been long time supporter of the camp, along with their daughter, Christi. Irv used to head-up the “Coon Hunters Golf Benefit for Camp Courageous” for several years. Christi had been a student of mine when I student-taught in Monticello, IA in the fall of 1976. At that same time she was part of the Scotch Grove Sunshine Girls, who did activities like making May baskets for the campers. She went on to attend and graduate from Iowa State University where she had a campus wide “Gong Show” to benefit camp. Then Christi headed to Clinton, IA to teach school. There she introduced her students to the camp and they had special events to benefit Camp Courageous. Thank you again, Husmann’s for their decades of support. -Charlie Dr. Ron Hill, from Hill Chiropractic Office in DeWitt, presents checks from his annual “Special Day for Camp Courageous.” Dr. Hill has had this special day for years and helps camp with fruitcake sales and many other activities the year-round. Thank you to Don & Sharon Kouba for giving Camp Courageous the opportunity to present a program to the Lovely Lane United Methodist Church.

(L-R) Pictured are Bret Zahina and Susan Haxmeir from Mi-T-M in Peosta showing a 1400 psi electric pressure washer being donated for use in the Camp Courageous pool. A much needed donation to help keep the pool area clean. Thank you!! Jacque Lahr and the students and staff of Lambert Elementary School in Manchester collected tabs for camp, once again this year. They had 69 pounds of tabs, which is 90,528 tabs. An incredible feat! Thank you to everyone who helped! A big thank you to Betty Artus of Dubuque and all her friends who collect bags and bags of can tabs and also greeting card fronts, used in Arts and Crafts. Betty is a great lady and has been a loyal supporter of camp for many years. Thank you to Buzz and Dee Walters, along with Denny & Janet Zahrt, for giving Camp Courageous the opportunity to make a presentation to the United Methodist Church of Davenport. This wonderful group had many great questions and a keen interest in the camp. Fun evening! Marginal Note: There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. 27 Anna Taylor’s volunteer work at Camp Courageous continues to grow Camp utilizes volunteers in many different ways for a variety of projects and this crew from ESCO Group got to experience that first hand. These ladies were willing to do anything we asked and helped with everything from a mailing, to cleaning the basement, to organizing a storage room to helping set up for our big summer dance. Thank you all for your flexibility! The group included Kelly Neff, Julie England, Trish Logan, Debbie Bayer, Brook Fuhrmeister and Jamie Parman. Pictured is our most recent group of volunteers from the NICC nursing program. Instructor Mary Jo Friedmann brought us an outstanding group of future nurses. The students worked as counselors during a respite care weekend and we all had a great time. Thank you to Mary Jo and all the students which included: Cassie Gabriel, Kerry Humke, Leah Stocks, Jess Langlois, Natalie Schroeder, Amber Anderson, Aimee Watkins, Hannah Farmingham, Barbara Aumiller, Nicole Schmitt, Chrissy March and Sawn Britton. Thank you to Helen Finn & Marlene Mangrich (JesupVP) for giving Camp the opportunity to give a program to the Waterloo Deanery Council ACCW who met at the Community of Blessed Sacrament.

Anna is a graduate of Mount Mercy University and holds a B.A. in Business Administration. Anna had worked a number of years for our good friends at Transamerica, where she was involved in a number of fund raisers for camp. By profession today, Anna is a Broker/Realtor for Trading Places Realty in Monticello, IA. She has her Real Estate Broker’s License and is a member of the Dubuque and Cedar Rapids Boards of Realtors as well as the State and National Boards.

As a company, Trading Places Realty donates a portion of their commissions to Special Olympics and personally, Anna has pledged to donate a portion of her commissions to Camp Courageous. One can see Anna volunteering every where at camp... one day she may be on the food serving line and assisting with special diets for campers, another time she is volunteering on the Pineapple Committee, and at another time she can be seen handing out water and food at the J & P Cycle benefit for camp. She is always there for Camp Courageous and we are grateful! Camp was fortunate to be one of many sites to be a part of Marion High School’s “One Day in May” service day. Thanks to student Emi Banes for lining everything up. The group did a lot of needed work all around camp. July 2013 - Camp Courageous - www.campcourageous.org Thanks to Sheri Lampe and the students from Central Lee High School in Donnellson, Iowa for coming to camp to help with removing garlic mustard. Garlic mustard is an invasive weed that chokes out the undergrowth of forests. The students worked hard and were able to clear out some large areas around the camp grounds. (R) Mary Brookhart volunteered in nursing this summer. Her daughter, Kathleen, enjoyed her week as a camper and Mary’s help was invaluable. She has worked as a nurse for many years and we all learned a lot from her. Thank you Mary! A big thanks goes to the nursing students from the University of Dubuque and their instructor, Crista Weber. Crista has been bringing nursing students to camp for several years now to interact with campers on respite care weekends. These students were a lot of fun and really enjoyed getting to know the campers they worked with. The UD students pictured include Carleigh Runk, Chelsea Vormezeele, Courtney Fisk, Samantha Meiners, Jen Fischer, Laura Menta, Spencer Smith, Sarah Crivello and Kerry Timmons. A huge thanks goes to these students from Anamosa High School for making camp part of their service day. The students were able to get a lot done! They stacked paper products, move and spread wood chips, moved brush and firewood, and more. This group worked very hard and did everything asked of them. Thanks Anamosa High School! Thank you to the family of Gary Lenz for coming to camp with memorials for Gary to go to the pool project, which is matched by the Carver Trust. (L-R) Susan Lenz (Gary's wife), Terra VanDusen (Gary's daughter) and Karen Lenz (Gary's sister-in-law). Gary's son, Chad, is a long time camper at Camp Courageous. Chad is 35 years old and has been coming to camp since he was 4! Wonderful family. Elliot Cook (left) and Allison Shedek (right) were the last two physical therapy students from the University of Iowa to help out at camp this spring. The campers they worked with, brothers Jonathan Crow and Frank Jared Teunis, of Clinton, IA, really enjoyed getting to know Elliot and Allison and everyone had a great weekend. Received this nice note... “Please use this donation where ever it will help the most. As a private Business we appreciate that you take no government money to run camp. Camp is the highlight of our son, Brian’s year. Thank you for all yo do...” - Jo Anne & Richard Davidson Thanks to the Cedar 3 team from AmeriCorps NCCC out of Vinton, IA. Cedar 3 spent a couple of weeks helping in Delaware county and wanted to come help at camp while they were in the area. They got a lot of work done out in the woods between the rain drops on a wet summer day. Thanks to the Junior Honor Society students from North Linn Middle School for coming out to help with some spring clean-up work. The students and their advisor, Melissa Wheatley, had to reschedule a couple of times due to the rainy spring weather, but they were determined to get to camp and make a difference. Thanks to this wonderful group of volunteers who came from Topeka, KS to volunteer at Camp Courageous. They helped paint in Beckwith Dorm and worked on carpentry projects. They were a fun group to have at camp and we hope they come back again.
