Garage Sale
36th Year! Now open for summer!
The 36th annual Manchester
Garage Sale for Camp
Courageous is underway for
2011. Just as Camp Courageous
has grown from 211 campers
during the summer of 1974
to over 5,000 individuals
with special needs 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 of the year, these
volunteers give of their time
to run the sale located at 913
East Main, in Manchester. The
sale is open now until about
the first week in October. For
the six months following the
sale, volunteers work on the
facilities, constantly making
improvements.
The Manchester Garage Sale
has been a win-win situation.
People who have donated their
personal items to the sale have
had the opportunity to clean
house, knowing their things will
go for good use. The buyer has
the opportunity to get needed
items at a very reasonable price,
and the camp has obtained items
it needs, along with much needed
financial support, since the camp
is run on donations.
The Garage Sale is led by a very
dedicated committee. For these
ladies the sale goes year-round,
as they are constantly gathering
things, washing and mending
items, and doing whatever they
can for the betterment of Camp
Courageous. The committee
includes Delores Prospt, Una
Swanson, Marla Schiess,
Honorary Board Member Jackie
Snyder, Janice Gillihan, and
Vera Gienapp.
Manchester Garage Sale is located at:

It was wonderful to see Alice
Mulligan at the Manchester
Garage Sale. Alice volunteered at
the Garage Sale for years. Alice is
99 and we are going to have one
great party for her 100th!!! Alice
has a wonderful personality. Some
body told a big security guard
that Alice was 99 and the guard
reminded Alice she better be good
or he would have to throw her out.
Alice replied, “you and who else?”

Lake Project Update
Work continues on this exciting
new project at Camp Courageous!
Camp Courageous continues
to work on establishing a lake for
canoeing, fishing, and other water
activities for campers. Currently,
campers are bused 22-miles
(round trip) to Central Park to do
these water-related activities. The
buses not
only carry
the precious
cargo of
campers and
staff, but also
trailers full of
canoes. The
construction
of a lake will greatly lessen the
camp’s risk, with everything being
within walking distance or a train
ride from base camp.
The cost of this project will
be considerable. Contributions
of any amount are appreciated.
Gifts of $1,000 or more will be
acknowledged on a plaque.
Future Lake Facility & Equipment – A 30-acre expansion of Camp Courageous
will include a lake for camper activities and more. It will include a facility and will require equipment
and supplies. You can help make this dream come true by contributing toward this project. A plaque
will be displayed inside the lake facility showing the names of all contributors of $1,000 or more. Send
your donation to: Lake Project, Camp Courageous, PO Box 418, Monticello IA 52310-0418.

Pictured is the 30 acres of land to the west of
Camp Courageous that has been cleared to
make way for a lake. The next phase is the
moving of a large amount of dirt to carve out
the lake area and provide a level area for a
future pavilion. Accessibility for campers of all
levels is important at this stage to make sure
the lake area can be used by everyone.
I can assist with the lake through: Volunteering Providing Equipment or Supplies
Marginal Note: The one thing worse than a quitter is the person who is afraid to begin.
The next Courier will feature
the latest on naming rights to
the lake and pavilion.
Jones County has been very good to Camp
Courageous. It takes a special area to take
Camp Courageous under their wing, and
Jones County has been super. Pictured here
are (L-R) Clarence Walton and Pat Powell.
They surveyed the camp road to set the rightof-way
and set back points. They did a super
job and were just a stitch to work with. Great
dedication in going the extra mile!
It was a treat to have (L-R) Andy Hoover,
grandson of President Herbert Hoover
from Colorado and John Fawcett, who is
semi-retired from the National Archives
and Records Administration in Washington
D.C. where he was responsible for all the
Presidential Libraries, visit camp recently.
Both are great camp supporters and really
were impressed with their tour of camp.

Kent Feeds presented Leo Greco and
his Pioneers from about 1951-1969. At
that time the band played in ten states and
was ranked #1 for five-years on Downbeat
Poll (after the 5th year, the Poll was
discontinued). The show could be seen on
many television stations throughout the
Midwest, including WMT-TV in Cedar
Rapids at 6:15 PM on Saturday nights.
Leo had two

Thank you to these wonderful folks for their
great hospitality and support!
Ardy Sloane had a love of books and children.
After unexpectedly passing away last fall, her
family knew they would like her passion to be
her legacy. As a teacher at North Linn High
School, Ardy was familiar with camp and the
individuals with specials needs served here.
Her daughter, Carolyn, contacted camp to
see what they could do as a memorial for
their mother. She thought camp could use
new books for the library and to give as gifts
to the campers. Carolyn’s daughters lovingly
selected appropriate books for the campers
and purchased two large totes full! In
addition, they wanted to give more campers
a chance to come to camp by donating over
five camperships! What a beautiful person
Ardy Sloane must have been to have left
such a positive influence on her daughter
and grandaughters. Shown are Jim and
Carolyn Ferraioli and daughters Sloane,
Luca, and Mona. It was wonderful to have
them visit camp!

Ron's support followed his father, Eldon, who
also was wonderful to camp!

camp since those first years. They have
consistently been camp's largest supporter
of the campership fund. Pictured (L-R) at the

A big thank you to Bailey Dudley from
Pipestone Veterinary Clinic of Iowa in
Independence, for the big fund raiser they did
for camp, including this silent auction table.
Julie Thoma's son, Wade attends Camp
Courageous yearly and his sister, Krista,
works for the clinic. Their fund raiser for camp
was called Random Acts of Kindness. Each
location (they have two clinics and many
sow farms as part of their company) the
company is given $50 to do what they wish
with as long as it is donated to someone or
some organization. In turn, the location with
most money raised, best new idea, or most
original idea, gets a prize. Its usually lunch
bought or something like that. This year's
idea was to hold a silent auction at the clinic
for a few weeks for camp. The event was a
huge success! Thank you to all the staff who
gave so much to make it a success!
Thanks to this group from Graceland
University for spending a day at camp during
the summer session at Camp Courageous.
This group is composed of teachers who
spent their summer continuing their own
education. As part of their class, they spent
some time at camp doing group initiative
activities, touring and learning more about
the camp, and helping us out with a volunteer
project. Thanks to Amy Becicka for lining
everything up and to all the group members
for their willingness to help.

A big thank you to the
Petroleum Marketers &
Convenience Stores of
Iowa, the sponsors, and
players who made the
16th Annual Golf Benefit
for Camp Courageous,
one of the best ever!
Friends for over 30-years (L-R) Lou White,
Tom Brooke, Mary Pat Brooke, and Loretta
White attended this year's Golf Outing to
Honor Norb Bahl. Tom Brooke was a PMCI
Board Member when Norb brought the
board to camp in 1981... the start of a 30+
year relationship. DX jobbers for 20-years
had a Lou White Open, in honor of Lou, their
Regional DX Representative. DX in the early
80s matched everything their Iowa Jobbers
did for camp and they were key to the success
of the relationship between Camp and PMCI.
Long-time camper Ashley Siebels celebrated
her 20th birthday and graduation with a nice
party. Pictured with her is camp supporter
(and grandma) Betty Siebels of Monticello.

Thank you to all who participated in this years PMCI Golf Outing!
Dawn Carlson, President of PMCI, and the
staff made this beautifully framed tribute to
Norb Bahl which was presented to Norb's
daughter, Francie, that night. (L-R) Francie
King, Ron McGauvran, Tom Brooke, and Ted
King. Ron and Tom were among the board
members who traveled to Camp Courageous
in 1981 and helped Norb start the relationship
between Camp and PMCI. Wonderful group!
Pete Reinertsen presents his money bag to
the PMCI staff. No one sells Mulligans like
Pete. This year Pete ran out of Mulligans!
Pete took over Norb Bahl's business and
he has done an exceptional job following in
Norb's steps. (L-R) Kendra Bland, Sandy
Bland, Danell Lilland, and Pete Reinertsen.
It was a treat to have (L-R) Phil and Cicilia
Crowley of Georgetown, TX visit camp with
Cicillia's parents Marj and Bob Zeman. Bob
Zeman has been entertaining folks for over
50 years! His tapes, CDs, and a DVD are all
available in the camp store or through the
internet at: www.campcourageous.org.
It is a humbling
honor to Camp
Courageous that
Virginia Derwin
has chosen Camp
Courageous
to receive her
memorials. Camp
Courageous
always held a special place in
Virginia’s heart. It took on an even
more important role when she learned
her grandson, Jimmy Klesner, was
born with many special needs. She
learned from Jimmy, first hand, the
great joy it brought him to go to
camp. Jimmy was fortunate to have
been born into an incredibly loving
and caring family.
Virginia loved all her children
and grandchildren and her arms
were always open wide. She was
a wonderful grandmother... along
with being a very special and loving
mother, wife, and friend. Family is
what Virginia lived for and she leaves
a beautiful legacy in each of them.
Under a beautiful maple tree at the
entrance of Camp Courageous is a
bronze embossed plaque, in memory
of Jimmy. It reads, “Children are
the hands by which we take hold
of heaven.” Jimmy has reached his
tender little hands down to take
grandma on to her next journey.
Camp's heartfelt sympathy goes out
to Virginia's wonderful family, along
with her many friends. She will be
dearly missed here at Camp, but her
legacy will live on in the laughs and
joys she has provided for so many.
We will miss her wonderful visits
and kind words and actions, that were
always such an inspiration...
With warm and personal regards,
Charlie Becker, Director
Derwins pictured under Jimmy's tree
are (L-R) Jimmy's Mom Arlene Klesner,
Jimmy's Great Aunt Arlene, Jimmy's
Grandfather Jim Derwin, and Jimmy's
Uncle Jim.

Charlie-
Having my grandson attend Camp
Courageous and the Hawkeye Football
Day has given me a first-hand glimpse of
what you and your team provide to those
with special needs. Not only is the concept
completely heartwarming, but you folks do
it with organizational skills second to none.
I spend quite a bit of time with Andrew so
I know him pretty well. I know that Camp
Courageous ranks as one of the highlights
of his young life.
May God Bless you as you continue to
bring smiles to the faces of so many special
needs people, and to their parents and
caregivers as well.
Thanks,
-Paul Fauser, Elgin IA
(Paul's father, Don, was among the first
group of Petroleum Marketers to come to camp
in 1981 and take the camp under their wing...a
tremendous family)
Hi Charlie:
I wanted to thank you again for making
possible one of the best days in my son’s
life! He hasn’t stopped smiling since
Saturday or stopped talking about everything
he did. I think my husband had as much fun
as Andrew did!
Thank you again,
Vanessa
Hello Charlie,
Thank you very much for providing
this opportunity to visit with the Hawkeyes.
My husband and son just got home and
they both are all smiles. My son loves his
signed shirt and is exhausted from running
on the Kinnick Football field. This is a very
special event. My husband can’t say enough
about how interactive the Hawkeye Football
players and Hawkeye Staff are with the
campers. Awesome job!
Our son will love the attention he will
get at school on Tuesday when he wears his
signed shirt to school and brings photos of
the players he met. This will be an awesome
and positive social time for peers to interact
and communicate with our son about an
event he so enjoys.
Again, thank you so much for your part
in this event. This was a great and special
day for my family.
Thanks,
Tanya Dauber

Adaptable saddles needed
As camp’s horseback riding
program begins to grow,
we are looking for more
adaptive equipment to
use for campers who
want to ride but may
lack the trunk support
to do so independently.
The saddle pictured is
the answer. These saddles
are made by Gray’s Custom
Saddlery and Western Store,
in Horseshoe Bend, Arizona. They can be
made for children or adults. It would be a
great addition to our riding program if we
had a child and an adult saddle to use for
these special campers.
Check out the website, www.
grayscustomsaddlery.com and contact
Jess Maier at (319)465-5916, ext. 2340 or
e-mail jmaier@campcourageous.org if you
are interested in donating towards these
amazing creations!

about her father, Ed Farrell from Strawberry
Point, who recently passed away,
“Dad greatly admired the unrelenting
efforts of Camp Courageous to
befriend children and adults who
may have otherwise been
forgotten in crucial ways.”
Ed left a wonderful legacy here, and we will
all miss him dearly...

To The Family &
Friends of Richard
Grovert:
Camp was so sorry to
hear of Rich’s death. Rich
was such a wonderful
man. He would give the shirt off his
back to help those in need, particularly
through Lions or at Camp Courageous.
He was always thinking, “what can
Camp Courageous use, that I can get?”
He was a proud father and grandfather.
Everyone here at Camp Courageous
will dearly miss Rich.

Thank you for your
support and keeping
the dream of Camp
Courageous alive!
JULY 2011 — Camp Courageous — www.campcourageous.org

Thank you to camp's friends at Eilertson's out
of Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin. They have been
good to Camp Courageous since moving into
the area, and now they are in the process of
providing the camp all the railroad ties we
will need to continue to expand the train rail.
Super company and staff!
The Cedar County Farm Bureau Women
and Friends made their annual trip to camp
to volunteer for the morning. For the past
few years they have folded camper T-Shirts
and this year was no exception. In addition to
volunteering they also brought a large donation
of paper products and other much needed
items. These are a delightful group of ladies
and we look forward to their visit each year.
Bev Daws with Hope UCC Quilters and the
local Cedar Rapids VFW Auxiliary delivered a
wonderful donation of ten beautiful quilts and
5,700 card fronts. The quilts will be welcomed
by the campers on chilly nights and they will
also enjoy making crafts with the card fronts.
Many thanks to Bev and Hope UCC quilters
and Cedar Rapids VFW Aux. who worked
countless hours on these projects.
It is always a treat to give a program to the
DeWitt Noon Lions. The group has been long
time supporters of camp. Thank you to Dr. Hill
for lining-up the program on his special day
for camp.
Marginal Note: A fool and his money are soon partying.
Camp volunteer Gloria Ford celebrated her
80th birthday in the Sill Barn on the last Sat.
in April. Many friends and family members
came from all over to honor Gloria. She has
been volunteering at camp since the very
beginning and we really appreciate all she’s
done. She is truly an inspiration and we wish
her many more birthdays! Shown with Gloria
are her children and grandchildren.
Thank you to John Harms and his sister
Jennifer Harms Lambert for presenting to
camp a check from the estate of Ray Poppe.
Ray was an incredible good and caring
gentleman who was always there to help a
neighbor or friend. Ray will be dearly missed.
Pictured here is Gavin Ogle who is helping
at Pace Supply in Fairfax. Pace has been
wonderful supporters of the camp with grass
seed needs for years. We can not thank Deb
Proctor and everyone at Pace enough for
continuing to think of camp. Thanks so much
Pace!
Thank you to Joe Goblisch from Martin
Brothers who brought to camp another great
supply of things off camp's needs list. A great
supporter an awfully nice person!

6th Annual Hawkeye Day for Camp Courageous
at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City Is A Huge Hit!
The Annual Hawkeye Day for Camp
Courageous at Kinnick Stadium in
Iowa City has been an opportunity
of a lifetime for campers to visit with
the Iowa Hawkeye football players,
coaches, and staff. Camp Courageous
campers enjoyed a great lunch,
provided by Martin Brothers, and a
tour of the Iowa football complex.
Campers received a football from the
Petroleum Marketers & Convenience
Stores of Iowa that was autographed
by the players, coaches, and staff.
Camper Matthew Schramm is all smiles as
Coach Ferentz signs his Iowa shirt. Matthew
Schramm has a lot of Hawkeye gear but
deciding what to wear on Saturday wasn’t
hard. Three weeks ago, Schramm’s mom
said, he laid out his white Hawkeye football
jersey in preparation for Saturday — white
would be the best to get autographs from
University of Iowa football players.
This is one of those experiences that
will never be forgotten by the campers
who attend. We can not thank enough
Kirk Ferentz, along with the players
and staff, including Chic Ejiasi,
Director of Player Development, for
this opportunity. It is heartwarming
that individuals so gifted and talented
and busy will take the time to spend
with these special campers. Every
year the players do an exceptional job,
engaging the campers.
We would also like to thank Martin
Bros., the Petroleum Marketers and
Convenience Stores of Iowa and Kum
& Go for providing all the goodies for
the campers. Some campers that have
had a hard time falling asleep the night
before in anticipation of this big day.
26
A big thank you to the players who spent the
afternoon with the campers. Super group!
Here with Coach Kirk Ferentz is Jill & Mike
McDermott of Monticello with their children
Morgan and Blake. They all loved the coach
and players.
Coach Ferentz visits with Denny & Janet
Zaht of Davenport. Denny & Janet took
Tom Eggleston's place in helping obtain
autographs for the Pineapple Gala.
A key to the success of the special Camp
Courageous Day at Kinnick Stadium is the
work of Stacey Thompson, here with Coach
Kirk Ferentz and her husband Matt and son
Alex.
Camp was delighted to have Jack & Alice
Naylor of Burlington Iowa stop by the camp.
Both have been very involved in camp, along
with their family and friends. Jack will soon be
delivering some fire ladders to camp.
A big thank you to Wayne Parizek for
lining up a bus visit for the folks above
who represent the Circle of Saints in Belle
Plaine, St. Bridget in Victor and St. Patrick in
Brooklyn. Thank you to Board Member Jim
Foels for assisting Wayne in making the stop
at Camp Courageous a reality. Nice group!
Congratulations to Jan & LeeRoy Mootz of
Monticello on their 50th Anniversary. The
Mootz's have been wonderful supporters
and promoters of camp, from being among
the first to sell Camp Fruitcakes to helping
get the word out. We wish them the best of
happiness and good health in their next 50!
A big thank you to the Iowa Phythians who
delivered a van load of food to the camp.
They have also been raising money as part of
Grand Chancellor, Ron Ingles, State Project.
Just a super group of true gentlemen, (L-R)
Ralph Barger, Doug Langston, Ron Ingles,
Kurt Brockmeyer, and Don Trainer.
JULY 2011 — Camp Courageous — www.campcourageous.org

Thank you to Mrs. Lahr and the students
from West Delaware Schools in Manchester
who have collected 10 1/2 pounds of pop
tabs this year. The tabs are recycled and the
money goes to help campers and others who
use transportation to and from the Shriners
Hospitals. This is an ongoing service project
that the school has done for 14 years. To date
West Delaware has saved over 2 million tabsl
The Dubuque Advertiser held a walleye
outing on the Mississippi River Thurs.,
May 26th with the funds going to Camp
Courageous. The largest walleye caught
was a 28.25" caught by Dave Ambort (L) and
Rick Anderson (R). Gary Rudy from Rudy's
Rods made and donated a really special
custom built rod and reel that was raffled off
and won by Mike Reuter. The river was a little
high and the anglers fought windy conditions
but most found fish. Special thanks to Greg
Birkett for all his hard work on this!
Thank you to (L-R) Steve Ehrisman and John
Goffinet who represent the Monticello Eagles
Club for this check to go toward making the
camp pools more accessible. The Monticello
Eagles Club do an incredible job of working
hard on fund raising projects, then giving
all that hard work back to the community in
support. Thank you Eagles!
Thank you the Jones County Central 4-H
Club for making pillowcases for camp to use.
A real labor of love.
Marginal Note: It’s easy to tell when you’ve found a bargain… it doesn’t fit.
A Big thanks to
volunteer counselor
Vivian Meade from
Solon, IA. Vivian has
been a great volunteer
who spent 4 weeks of
her summer vacation
helping the campers
she worked with have
an awesome week at
camp. Thanks Vivian!
It was an extra special day for the students
from Hoover School in West Branch to meet
Andy Hoover, whose Grandfather, their
school was named after.
It was great to have the youth group from
First Presbyterian Church in Hastings, NE
back at camp this summer. They come to
work with campers for a week every couple of
years and allow us to take campers off of the
waiting list. This makes many campers and
their families very happy! Thanks to Pastor
John Curtiss, the youth, chaperones and all
the members of their church who make this
trip possible!
A big thank you to Gary Williams who
gave Camp Courageous the opportunity to
present the camp to Lados-Life After Death
of Spouse...a wonderful group of many long
time supporters of the camp. It was great to
rekindle many old friendships and to make
many new one.
Camp Courageous Campers RJ Hawkins

to come visit when they came to Camp
Courageous.

JULY 2011 — Camp Courageous — www.campcourageous.org

A great big thanks goes out to the Cedar Sams
Club that came out to Camp Courageous
on a misty Saturday morning to help plant
flowers and spread wood chips on the trails.
After the work was completed as luck would
have it, out pops the sun but the rain in the
morning didn’t even slow this crew down.
Camp was fortunate to have Coach Matthew
Thede and the Cedar Rapids Prairie High
School baseball team volunteer at camp
during “Cruisin’ for Camp Courageous.” The
boys were a lot of fun and helped in so many
ways. During the time they were at camp,
they helped with parking, helped serve and
work in the kitchen, manned the food stands,
assist with the camp’s bouncy house and
found a little time to pick out a favorite car!
Shown are the boys with coach Thede and
their adult chaperones. We hope to make
these boys annual visitors during Cruisin’!

A big thanks to the National Honor Society
students from Anamosa High School, and
their advisor, Dan Husmann. All of the students
were hard workers and they accomplished
a lot, including some organization in the
dietary department, cleaned at the pool,
and eradicated many, many bags of garlic
mustard weeds.
Anamosa Ag students came over to Camp
Courageous to volunteer with some projects
in the woods. They were a great help and put
their talents to good use. It’s great to have
such eager volunteers and we hope then can
come back again this fall or next spring.
Another great group of physical therapy
students from the University of Iowa were here
in March to work with respite care campers.
A big thanks goes to Sam Wiechman, Aaron
Burke, Doug Perkins, Taylor Sweers and
Mandy Kakac for helping to give the campers
an amazing weekend.
Darlene Edgington with the St. Joseph
Catholic Church Quilters from Marion is
shown with some the creations they worked
on and donated to camp. They made a
couple of fun denim quilts that are sure to be
a hit with the campers. Thank you ladies for
sharing your time and talents with camp.
This year for the United Way day of caring
the camp had a great group of workers from
Clifton Gunderson LLP. The group was eager
to tackle the tasks of mulching and cleaning
up the flower gardens, power washing
buildings, sealing the new picnic tables, and
sealing wooden structures out in the woods.
Camp really appreciate people taking time
out of their week to help get ready for the
summer season.
Camp was fortunate to have another great
group of nursing students from the University
of Dubuque volunteer this spring. The
students work with respite care campers as
part of their pediatric learning experience.
The students who volunteered this year were
Melissa Neimen, Amanda Ernst, Stephanie
Duehr, Rachel Gratz, Bailey Abele, Robert
Sarver, Ray Del Rosario, Erin Evans, Korie
Miller, Kristin Mortensen, Susan Szymczak,
Hannah Haugestuen, Kelsey Rursch, Kim
Sanquist and Angela Damptz.

individuals are willing to give of
themselves, the above and beyond,
to make sure a camper’s stay will be
the highlight of their year.
You can endow a position at Camp
Courageous. A large brass plaque
will appear above each position’s

How can you help Camp Courageous?
The camp is amazed at the many ways that supporters have helped make the dream of Camp
Courageous a reality. Many have contacted the camp asking how they or their group can
help. Below are just a few suggestions on how you can help the camp:
Make a Financial Gift
You can make a financial gift to the camp using the
form on the back page of this newsletter. Payment can
be made with a personal check or credit card (VISA,
MasterCard, or Discover). In general, donations to the
camp will be tax deductible to many. However, you
will need to contact your tax advisor to determine the
deductibility of your contributions. You can make your
gift in memory of or in honor of an individual(s) or
occasion. An acknowledgement about your gift can be
sent to the individual(s) if you provide an address.
Volunteering
Nothing is more valuable and appreciated than your
time. Help is needed from cutting grass to working
with campers. Individuals, groups, and organizations
are welcome. Please contact Shannon Poe, Volunteer
Director, by e-mail at spoe@campcourageous.org or by
phone at (319) 465-5916, ext. 2320 for information on
how you or your group can volunteer at the camp.
Vehicle Donations
Do you have a car, truck, or RV that
you’d like to donate to Camp Courageous? Are you
donating your vehicle so it can be sold to allow the camp
to benefit from its sale? Please visit the camp’s web site
at www.campcourageous.org for more information on
how you can donate your car, RV, or other vehicle and
compliance with IRS regulations.
Future Lake Project
A recent 30-acre land acquisition will allow for a
future lake at Camp Courageous. By having a lake at the
camp, time and resources will be saved by not having to
transport campers and staff to a lake 20 minutes away.
You can help make this dream come true by
contributing towards this project. A plaque will display
the names or wording of choice for all $1,000 donors.
Use the form on the back of this newsletter. For more
information contact Charlie Becker at 319-465-5916, ext.
2100 or e-mail charlie @campcourageous.org.
Riley Train Depot Plaque
Tom and Nan Riley donated a train to camp to thrill
thousands of campers! The track and depot are installed
and built. Many camp and/or train enthusiasts have
asked, “How can we help?” We will continue to have
workdays for landscaping around the track and depot.
You can also contribute to cover the ongoing
operational costs as well as future expansion of the
train. The name, or the wording of choice, will appear on
the plaque in the depot for all $1,000 donors. Use the
donation form on the back page of this newsletter. For
more information about the plaques you can contact
Charlie Becker at (319) 465-5916, ext. 2100, or send him
an e-mail at charlie@campcourageous.org.
eBay Auctions
Do you sell on eBay? You can
donate a percentage of your
auctions to the camp through
eBay’s Mission Fish program. 10%
to 100% of your auction can go to
Camp Courageous 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.
Marginal Note: It’s not only the quiet people who don’t say much.
Used Laser/Ink Cartridges & Phones
Camp can redeem used laser printer toner cartridges,
used ink-jet cartridges, and used cell phones for cash.
Simply drop your items off at the camp or contact Matt
Bollwitt by e-mail at matt@campcourageous.org or by
phone at (319) 465-5916, ext. 2110.
United Way (Donor Option)
Even though Camp Courageous is not
a United Way agency, we strongly encourage those that
give to the United Way to choose “Camp Courageous”
using the Donor Option form (special category). Camp
has been fortunate to have donors from New York to San
Francisco give through the United Way Donor Option.
Pool Blocks
The Camp Courageous indoor pool was built one block
at a time. It is one of the more popular activities for the
campers. You can help support this activity by buying a
pool block for $1,000. Your name, or the wording of your
choice, will be put on the block as a lasting reminder of
your gift to the camp.
Use the donation form on the back page of this
newsletter to purchase your pool block. For more
information you can contact Charlie Becker at (319)
465-5916, ext. 2100, or send E-mail to charlie@
campcourageous.org.

donations go to benefit the over 5,000 individuals with
special needs that are served 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

How can I help?
Camp Courageous continues to operate
on donations, without government assistance,
without formal sponsorship, and without paid
fund-raisers. What this means is that everything
that is given to the Camp, goes directly to benefit
the campers. One of the reasons the Camp
has grown from serving 211 campers in 1974
to over 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.
Where can I get more info?
Please visit the camp’s web site at
www.campcourageous.org, call the camp at
319-465-5916, or stop out for a tour to see
first-hand how the camp has grown over the
past many years.
I received more than one.
