Valentine’s Day “Dads & Daughters” Dinner and Dance Sunday, February 14, 2010 in the camp’s main lodge The evening begins at 5 p.m. with a social hour, followed by dinner and dancing. Musical entertainment will feature selections sure to please both Dad and his Daughter(s) as they enjoy a unique evening together. The evening will end at 7:30 pm. Tickets for the event are available for $25.00 a couple and $10.00 for each additional daughter. For tickets or more information contact Sharon Roller at (319-465-5916 Extension 2200) or June Fellinger at Treasured Weddings (319-480-0952). All proceeds for this event goes to benefit over 5,000 campers with special needs who visit Camp Courageous each year. CAMP COURAGEOUS’ ADVENTURE PROGRAM Camp Courageous is known throughout the country for its well developed high and low ropes adventure program. I receive calls regularly about which activities we offer, what strategies we use to include as many participants as possible, who inspects our courses and how we implement the staff training. It all started in the late 1970s with what was then called the 'Confidence Course'. The adventure program has now grown to ten separate high ropes events and two low ropes courses. It is no exaggeration to say there is something for everyone with the adventure activities. Several years ago I was giving a talk to a Brain Injury Support Group about camp. After everyone saw the slide show it was time for questions. Patty was in the audience and shared with pride, “ I may not be able to walk, but I can climb a tree at Camp Courageous!” With the pulley system, Patty and hundreds of others who use wheelchairs can climb the tree or Angle Dangle or PlayPen or more. One can only imagine how truly exhilarating it must be to leave the chair on the ground and check out a bird's eye view of the camp. I remember once a few years ago facilitating the burma bridge. Martha was nervous about taking a step on the aircraft cable and walking across while holding on to the side cables; yet she hesitantly put on the harnesses and helmet, listened closely to the instructions and not only took a step or two, but walked all the way across the Burma Bridge and back. I will never forget what she said once she was on solid ground. “ You know, Jeanne after tackling the Burma Bridge I think I can do just about anything!” Martha verbalized what I could only hope each and every camper feels as they climb the wall in the gym or swing across the cable on the super zip. It is our goal that each camper finds that internal strength to try something new, perhaps overcome Congratulations to Brianne Hupke & Adam Tremmel of Ames who were married in the Sill Barn at Camp Courageous, with the reception in the lodge, and overnight guests stayed in the dorms and used the gym and pool. a fear or hesitancy and discover their abilities. It is our goal that this new found confidence will carry over to other settings, be it school, home, relationships or work. Camp gives campers the opportunity to say to themselves long after leaving Camp Courageous,” I think I can do just about anything that comes my way!” The Centipede is located behind the swimming pool. One of the trees has died and we are in the process of replacing that event with newly acquired donated utility poles. The new event will be called the Jungle Gym and will include 5 different climbing, walking and swinging events. The Team Beam will be one of the activities where campers on the ground hold onto ropes to help their teammate on the event walk from one swinging beam to the other. The campers and staff are excited about this new addition and we are asking for any financial help possible to cover the cost of building the event, training the staff, inspection of all the courses and equipment needed. The total cost is estimated at $10,000. All gifts for this exciting new adventure activity are most appreciated. – Jeanne Muellerleile The Super Zip is a favorite activity for many campers although it can be challenging to take the first step off the platform. Camper, John Davison from Davenport, IA, stepped up to the challenge and had a smile on his face the whole time! It was his first time on the Super Zip. Marginal Note: You’ve got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was. Dave and Carolyn Mason from Bettendorf traveled to camp in early October to deliver some much needed supplies for camp and the campers. They are constantly on the look out for good buys for items on camp's needs list. On this date they brought fitted sheets, cases of bleach and games and toys for the campers. Many thanks to the Masons and their dedication to camp! The Loyal Workers & Friends from the Stanwood and Clarence area once again came to camp to volunteer for a morning. Before beginning their work, they had to deliver several beautiful quilts made by the ladies and some much needed paper products to the office. These ladies are such fantastic volunteers and are always willing to try new things from mailings, cleaning, etc. This year their project was wrapping gifts for the camper's holiday parties. Shown above are the ladies and the mountain of gifts they wrapped. We look forward to seeing them again next year. Thank you! The ladies with the Rachel Circle and Friends from Brandon made their annual trip to Camp Courageous to volunteer for the day working on the PMCI Cent-a-Gallon mailing. They also brought along a large donation of food, paper, craft supplies, paper products and other much needed items. It's always a great time working with this group. After finishing the mailing they shopped in the camp store, purchased some fruitcake and scheduled a date to return next year. We can't wait! Thanks ladies.
