Camp Courageous 

Camp Courageous is a year-round recreational and respite care facility for individuals of all ages with disabilities. 

Holiday 

Parties 

Camp Courageous’ lodge was 

decorated for the season during the 

2009 Annual Holiday Parties on 

December 16th and 17th. Hundreds 

of area school students, staff, and 

group home residents came for the 

free youth and adult parties. 

During the youth parties attendees 

enjoyed swimming, the wall climb, 

arts and crafts, games, and other 

activities. Everyone enjoyed holiday 

treats, met with Santa, and received 

a holiday gift. 

Thank you to everyone who 

attended this year’s events. A special 

thank you to “Dixie Notes Plus” 

for their wonderful performance 

during the adult party and to all the 

donors of the gifts that were handed 

out. The camp also appreciates all 

the volunteers who helped wrap the 

gifts. 

“…because we’re more alike 

than we are different.” 

Camp Courageous is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization run on donations 

serving individuals of all ages with disabilities. For more information on how you can 

contribute, volunteer, or for other ways to help, see pages 30 and 31.

Open House and Pancake Breakfast has huge turn-out 

Thank you to WMT for broadcasting the 

camp's breakfast/open houses live, twice 

a year! John Laton, the General Manager, 

along with the entire staff have been wonderful 

to camp! (L-R) Jim Beard, Honorary Board 

Member Leo Greco, and Andy Petersen…a 

super combination!!! 

The Durant Royal Neighbors of America had

Thank you to the 

American Legion 

Foundation for 

their continued 

support of Camp! 

Here Cecil 

Oldridge of Cedar 

Rapids presents 

a check to camp 

on the behalf of 

the foundation. 

Camp Courageous is very grateful to Lisa 

Charley, Marketing Coordinator of Runde Auto 

Group, and Rundes for their donation of a $500 

Lowe's Gift Card to buy many of the supplies 

the camp needs along with bags of footballs 

and monkeys for the campers. A wonderful 

group that have been long-time supporters. 

It is always a treat to have the Two Rivers Sams attend a breakfast! They come in numbers and 

along with a nice check, they made quilts, hats, and gloves for the campers. Wonderful group! 

Bob and Nellie Vetter and their son, Dick Vetter 

are regular workers at the camp's breakfasts 

and open houses. Dick actually celebrated his 

68th birthday at the breakfast with a lodge full 

of breakfast goers singing Happy Birthday to 

Dick. Bob and Nellie are in their 90s and are 

real hard workers! Great family! 

The breakfast isn't over until we see our good 

friends from the Iron Pegasus. This great 

group comes for each breakfast, not only 

to eat but to clean-up the mess. They are a 

breath of fresh air, after a long day! 

Greater Cedar Rapids Open selects 

Camp Courageous as primary 

charity of their annual event 

Camp Courageous was very 

fortunate to be this year’s primary 

beneficiary of the Greater Cedar 

Rapids Open. The Greater Cedar 

Rapids Open was created in 1999 

thanks to the incredible efforts of 

Mark Lemon and Jim McPartland. 

Each year this event is held at 

the Hunter’s Ridge Golf Course in 

Marion and each year it gets bigger 

and better. Zach Johnson was one of 

the first to win this event in 2001. 

Thank you to the board of directors 

of the GCRO for being so good to 

Camp Courageous over the years! 

Pictured are members of the Greater Cedar 

Rapids Open Committee.

Peck presents (L-R) Camp Courageous board 

president Phil Martin, and board members 

Winnie Williams, and Jim Klinger a check 

for $1000 through the Wal-Mart Community 

Grant program. Derek is the grandson of 

camp dietary staff Sharon Holub. Camp would 

like to extend its appreciation to the Anamosa 

Wal-Mart and the Wal-Mart Foundation for 

their generosity. 

Camp Courageous added a new well to the 

camp. Water is a real necessity at camp and 

this back-up well is key to making sure the 

camp is never without water. 


Camp was grateful to be invited to the 

30-Anniversary of the Delmar Lions. Above 

are 7 of the charter members. The Sponsoring 

Club was Goose Lake. Camp has been very 

grateful to the Delmar Lions Club for their 

incredible support over the years. They have 

been there for camp when it needed labor, 

starting back in March of 1993, when we 

needed supplies, can tabs, and when we 

needed financial support. Most recently they 

bought a plaque for $1,000 for the train. 

Jim Lucy, Memory 

Lane Country 

Classics, not only 

performed for the 

Delmar Lions 30th 

Anniversary, he 

was also a big hit at 


performing for 

campers! 

Thank you to the Fredricksburg Lions for 

inviting Camp Courageous to provide them 

a program on the camp. We are willing to 

go anywhere, at any time, any day, to give 

programs on Camp to any group. 

Thank you to Cathy Rohling and the 

Wheatland Lions Club for inviting the camp 

to give a program to them and for their 

generous contribution and hospitality to Camp 

Courageous. A wonderful group! 

Dick Gholson of Mount 

Pleasant has passed away. 

Dick entertained thousands 

over the years as “Santa”. 

Dick's Santa gratuities were 

always donated to Camp 

Courageous. He was loved 

by all and upon his death, 

he wanted his memorials to go to Camp 

Courageous. Our sympathy goes out to Dick's 

family and friends. 

It was a treat to have Ken and Bev Johnston 

stop by the camp with lap robes, hats, mittens, 

can tabs, and so much more. Ken was 

Commander of the Iowa VFW in 1980 and 

took camp on as his and VFW Auxilary State 

President Marge Byam's State Project. A 

wonderful couple! 

A special thank you to Harold White (L) who 

does an incredible job on camp's grass, 

trees, and much more. Assisting Harold is his 

grandson. Harold has been a volunteer and 

part of the camp staff for over 20-years! 

Thank you to Ray & Marilyn Overman of Mt. 

Vernon for collecting a car load of items for 

the camp. Long time supporters of the camp, 

Ray joined Leo Greco and other veterans on 

the Honor Flight to Washington D.C. to see the 

WWII memorial and other sites. 

(L-R) Dan and Dick Meade present a 

heartwarming check in memory of their 

sister, Margaret from the Meade Family. This 

wonderful family has introduced camp to many 

new friends. Margaret Meade was a great 

ambassador for camp in the Mt. Pleasant 

area, along with their mother, Magdalen. 

Marginal Note: Never miss an opportunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it. 

Gilbert Diercks 

(L) and Mike 

Diercks (R) with 

the Andover 

Lions Club 

brought up a 

large donation 

of paper 

products when 

they attended 

this year's 

pancake breakfast. This group has been 

coming to the breakfasts for many years and 

never come empty handed! Many thanks to 

the Andover Lions for being such wonderful 

friends of camp. 

Thank you to 

Grand Knight Steve 

Slobodnik and the 

Mount Pleasant 

Knights of Columbus 

Fr. John Manning 

Council No. 7294 for 

their annual donation 

from Tootsie Roll 

sales in memory 

of their deceased 

brother Knights, 

Richard Nebelle 

and Maurice Meade. 

Steve carries on the tradition of supporting 

camp that started with his dad, Jim, about 

30-years ago. Steve has two children that use 

the camp. Steve doesn’t miss an opportunity 

to come to camp and see first hand the joy 

that is being brought to his children, along with 

100s of campers from the Mt. Pleasant area. 

A big thank you to 

the Jesup Knights 

of Columbus for 

their years of 

support of Camp 

Couraegous. Here 

is Grand Knight 

Gene Cunningham 

presenting this 

year's check for 

support. They 

always have a 

wonderful meal and 

fellowship during their annual awards night. 

Former Camp Courageous counselor, Steve 

Cooper of Cedar Rapids put on a great 

pre-season 5th-8th grade boys basketball 

tournament to benefit Camp Courageous this 

fall. A huge turn out of players and spectators. 

It was a lot of work and Steve took it all on 

without any concern. Look next fall for another 

tournament.

The 1st Annual Walkin’ & Wheelin’ for 

Camp Courageous a Big Success 

The first annual “Walkin’ & Wheelin’ for Camp Courageous” was held on Sat. 

November 14, 2009 at Westdale Mall in Cedar Rapids and was a big success. It was a 

fun-filled event with plenty of food, music and socializing. Walkers could stop for water, 

juice, a cookie or granola bar, or try their hand at the “Wheel of Fortune” sponsored by 

the Chick-fil-A and win food coupons. Thank you to Jules Bormet, Marketing Director 

for Chick-fil-A at Westdale Mall for being a huge help and donor. 

Pictured above is “Team Weekenders,” made 

up of respite campers, family, and staff. The 

event was open to everyone and it was exciting 

to see so many campers, their families, and 

friends take part. Many of the teams created 

a unique look with their own T-shirt design! 

Camp t-shirts were given to each participant 

donating at least $10. It was fun to have so 

many of the past and present counselors who 

worked or work at camp walking and interacting 

with the campers and other walkers. 

Camp would like to thank all who took part, 

donated to, or volunteered, especially the 

Soroptimist Club of Cedar Rapids who helped 

set up the evening before and worked the day 

of the event. 

Many thanks to Troy Munger, manager at 

Westdale Mall, and Westdale Mall for allowing 

camp to have the walk at their facility. We look 

forward to next year!

Participants did the hour long walk at their own 

pace on both floors of the mall and were treated 

to the sounds of the Pandemonium Steel 

Drum Ensemble, who traveled that morning to 

the walk from Dubuque to entertain. 

The morning ended with awards given to the 

individual and group who raised the most 

money for the event. Pictured above is Rachel 

Sunne, a camper from Dundee IA, surrounded 

by her team. She won the individual category 

and received an iPod for her efforts. 

The team prize went to the group from 

Starmont High School. They were presented 

with a gift certificate for a pool and pizza party 

at camp.

A huge thank you to the Isle of Iowa Parrot 

Head Club for having the proceeds from 

their annual Halloween Party go to Camp 

Courageous. Far left is past Camp Courageous 

Board Member, Jim Klinger with the board of 

directors of the Parrot Heads. This group has a 

lot of fun helping others. Great Group! 

Thank you to Sherri Thurstan and Alicia 

Burnett for providing Camp Courageous the 

opportunity to give a program to their Insurance 

Associates of Cedar Rapids group. This group 

had wonderful questions and many had been 

involved in a variety of projects at camp. 

Let's get HANDS-ON! 

With the more than 

5,000 individuals with 

disabilities served 

annually at Camp 

Courageous, staff use 

about 65,000 gloves 

for personal care and 

camper needs. The 

camp would not be the 

safe, healthy place it is today without the 

counselor’s ability to be “hands-on” with 

these amazing individuals. On average, camp 

uses 65 cases of gloves, each case costing 

$30. It is a substantial cost for the camp, but 

well worth the investment of caring for these 

special campers. 

Would you consider giving a gift of $30 

for a case of gloves as a hands-on way of 

meeting the camper's needs? All at Camp 

Courageous thank you! 


Thank you to the Iowa Scottish Rite Masonic 

Foundation for their donation to Camp 

Courageous. The presentation was made 

during the Fall Reunion Banquet at the Scottish 

Rite Temple, Cedar Rapids Consistory in 

Cedar Rapids. Presenting the check from 

left to right are Gary Sissel, Sovereign Grand 

Inspector General 33° from Bettendorf ; 

Honorary Board Member Tom Eggleston 33° 

from Cedar Rapids, Charles K. Ford, president 

of his class; and Bill Jacobson, 33° from Cedar 

Rapids. A group of individuals with unswerving 

integrity. 

Thank you to Bob Hatcher for having the 

Jones County Annual Tourism Meeting at 

Camp Courageous in the Sill Barn. Great 

group! Congratulations to Bob and Doris 

Hatcher who celebrated their 59th wedding 

anniversary this night. 

Campers enjoy a 

spooky night at annual 

Halloween Dance 

On October 27th Camp 

Courageous held it’s annual 

Halloween Dance. Campers and staff 

danced the night away in the camp 

lodge while enjoying refreshments 

and great music. 

During the event a costume contest 

was held. The winners are pictured. 

Thank you to all the volunteers 

that helped to put on this free event 

for campers, including the Cornell 

basketball team from Mt. Vernon 

and the West Delaware High School 

students. 

(L-R) Pete Reinertsen, CEO of Consolidated 

Energy in Jesup, IA presents Honorary Board 

Member Norb Bahl a beautifully framed 

cover of the Iowa Oil Spout which featured a 

story on Norb Bahl and the beginnings of a 

30-year relationship between the Petroluem 

Marketers and Convenience Stores of Iowa 

and Camp Courageous. We can't thank Norb 

and Consolidated Energy enough for leading 

the charge in this relationship. Norb and Pete 

are surrounded by the Consolidated Energy 

staff. A wonderful group! 

Had the pleasure of spending the majority 

of a day with Honorary Board Member Norb 

Bahl of Jesup. Norb was the key person to 

introduce Camp Courageous to the Petroleum 

Marketers and Convenience Stores of Iowa in 

1981. That relationship helped the camp grow 

from a fledgling facility serving a few hundred 

campers with special needs to a facility today 

that serves thousands of campers annually. It 

was a true joy to visit with Norb about the past 

30-years. Norb is a wonderful person!

was great to see you Molly! Hope to see you 

again soon. 


2009 Fruitcake are an early sell-out! 

The Camp Courageous Fruitcake sales were a resounding success this 

year. While the reputation of our delicacy is changing the perception of 

fruitcakes, the continued success we enjoy is due in large part to the vast 

network of promoters, delivery volunteers, and vendors/retailers who 

believe in Camp Courageous and give so generously of their time, talent, 

and resources. We wish you all the best in 2010!

Dr. John Haefner 

was one of my 

professors at 

the University of 

Iowa in the field 

of education. He 

was exceptional! 

Along with 

classroom work, 

John oversaw my 

student teaching 

in Monticello, IA 

and my fellowship 

to teach in Exeter, 

England. John and his wife Dorothy visited 

me while teaching in England. We had a 

wonderful time there and it was always a topic 

of conversation for us the next 30+ years. 

We stayed friends as I returned to teach in 

Iowa and stayed active with the University of 

Iowa. He was not a happy camper when I left 

teaching and came to Camp Courageous, but 

quickly fell in love with Camp Courageous, as I 

did. John & Dorothy became loyal supporters. 

Dr. Haefner, as a teacher, inspired me and he 

helped me realize there isn’t a better profession 

in the world than teaching. John asked that 

his memorial’s go to Camp Courageous. We 

will dearly miss John, but what an incredible 

legacy he leaves behind in so many of us…

Some Things I Still Believe 

The ultimate mission of instruction in the 

social studies is, I think, the development of 

informed and participating citizens capable 

of understanding the major problems 

confronting a democratic republic such as 

ours. . . . It goes, almost without saying, 

that it demands direct and frequent involvement 

in the community on the part of both 

teachers and students. 

– Dr. John Haefner 

Marginal Note: The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra. 

Connie (Naylor) Stephens 

of Victorville, CA passed away at the age 

of 90. She was the sister of 

Jerry Naylor of Scotch Grove and 

Jack Naylor of Burlington. Over the 

years, Connie knitted hundreds and 

hundreds of hats for the campers. 

Celebrating Honorary Board Member Leo 

Greco (Front & Center) 88th birthday include 

his family Larry, Lisa, Lance, Linda, and 

LuAnn. One will never meet a nicer family. 

Leo and Louise did a beautiful job! 

A big thank you to the Maquoketa Kiwanis for 

inviting Camp Courageous to give a program 

to them. Long time supporters of Camp 

Courageous, we are grateful for their wonderful 

check and year-round support! Great group! 

Our dear friend, Ted Rittenmeyer of Iowa City, 

along with Eldon Stutsman of Hills (Founder 

of Stutsmans) always brought plastic ware 

from the Old Capitol Kiwanis Club in Iowa 

City to camp before each breakfast. Eldon 

died, and Priscilla Wright, Ted's friend, began 

to help. Ted has developed health concerns 

and is no longer able to head-up this project. 

Ted's Kiwanis Club honored him with a 

special plaque for his years of dedication to 

this project. With Ted's retirement, the reigns 

have been turned over to Al & Jan Wicks of 

Iowa City. We will miss Ted and Priscilla, but 

will continue to look forward to seeing them at 

breakfasts and other events! Special thanks 

to the Old Capitol Kiwanis Club in Iowa City for 

the wonderful check Al personally delivered... 

great long time supporters! (L-R) Priscilla 

Wright, Jan & Al Wicks.

VOLUNTEER & EMPLOYMENT 

OPPORTUNITIES FOR 

SUMMER 2010 

Consider applying for a volunteer,

Courageous this Spring and/or summer.

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, apply 

for a position at camp. Room and board is 

provided. Non-smokers only. 

• Summer season is May 16 –August 13

Camp Train is Expanding! 

The following items are needed: 

• 5,000‑6,000 4”x4”x32” treated wood ties 

• 20,000 lag bolts 1/2” x 2‑1/2” zinc coated 

• 20,000 1/2” washers zinc coated 

For questions or information about this expansion 

project, contact Gerry Rohr at grohr@ 

campcourageous.org 

or call 319-465-5916, ext. 2835. 

Work continues on the train track. All the ties 

and rail have been removed to better level the 

track bed which everything rides. The changes 

in elevation of the track in the past had made it 

difficult when the rail was wet. This improvement 

should keep the train going year-round. 

Thank you to LJ Takes for providing crane 

service to move about 40,000 pounds of track 

from a truck to a camp platform. The track will 

be used for future expansion of the train track. 

LJ has always been there when help has been 

needed!

Charlie, 

Thanks so much for letting River Bend 

residents come out and ride the train 

yesterday. Mobility is an issue and it was 

the only way some of these folks would 

have the opportunity for a day in the woods. 

Their faces just lit up when the whistle blew. 

Lowell and Gerry are excellent hosts. 

We also had a very nice picnic lunch 

behind the nature center. Sharon was also 

very accommodating in doing CPR with 

some of my staff last week. Joel and Cindy 

Callahan, the owners of River Bend will be 

sending a donation on our behalf. If Dennis 

is interested in a bunch of apples, I can start 

picking anytime. Thanks again.

“Year for Wellness” benefits Camp 

Smith Chiropractic and Wellness Center 

are promoting a "Year for Wellness" and 

focusing on children especially. They have 

selected a couple charities to donate to 

through 2009 and 2010 and they have 

selected Camp Courageous! 

They are collecting money for camp with a 

$20 donation to camp instead of paying a 

first day services to their clinic. 

They are also helping Camp Courageous 

by encouraging their patients to donate 

to the "Needs List" camp provides on the 

camp's web site. 

Thank you to Smith Chiropractic and 

Wellness Center and Tanya McClaran for 

all their work on this!

Dear Camp Courageous, 

Here are just a few things off your 

needs list–hopefully you find them 

useful. We had a nephew, Nathan 

Keninger, who passed away almost 

three years ago from complications 

from MD. His greatest pleasure each 

year was coming to camp. He so looked 

forward to it every summer. Thanks for 

all you do! 

Sincerely, 

Barb and Dick Keninger

Get a Disney Day 

In 2010, Camp Courageous will be 

participating in the “Give a Day. Get a Disney 

Day.” This “is a program that celebrates and 

inspires volunteerism. Disney is working with 

HandsOn Network to connect volunteers to 

community need. Disney is thanking those 

who volunteer for an eligible volunteer 

opportunity by giving them a free ticket good 

for one day admission to a Walt Disney World® 

or Disneyland® theme park.” 

If you have questions about this program 

then please contact Shannon Poe by email 

at shannon@campcourageous.org, or call at 

319-465-5916 ext. 2320. 


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.

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.

Gonner-Becker Family assists 

with camper transportation needs 

Pictured to the right are Hank 

Gonner and his sister, Meri Gonner 

Gibbs as they point to the picture of 

their father, Henry Gonner on the back 

of camp’s travel mini-bus. They were 

back in Dubuque for their mother, 

Joan Becker Gonner’s Funeral and 

Burial and this was their first look 

at what is affectionately referred to 

as “Henry” by campers and staff. 

Memorials from Henry Gonner were 

used to purchase this mini-bus. The 

caption on the rear of the bus reads, 

“In Memory of Henry Gonner.” He 

was never happier than when he was 

behind the wheel of his 1913 Model 

T Ford... bringing happiness and joy 

into the lives of others. 

Members of the Becker and Gonner Families gather around the mini-bus that many of them 

contributed toward. Plans are under way to do something special in memory of Joan Becker 

Gonner too. Truly a great family that have been very involved in Camp Courageous. 

Jerry Seydl and Greg and Linda Schrock stand 

next to a large number of antiques to be used

a regular traveler to Camp Courageous. Truly 

a great family!

The mini-bus has traveled the 

United States and Canada, bringing 

once-in-a-lifetime-experiences to 

campers with special needs. Like 

their parents, Hank and Meri are the 

nicest folks you will ever meet. 

Each fall students from the Therapeutic 

Recreation program at the University of 

Northern Iowa spend a weekend working with 

respite care campers. A big thank you to Dr. 

Joe Wilson and his students! Pictured are

Thank you to Patty Beneziano and Carmen 

Wycott, nursing instructors at Clarke College 

in Dubuque. Patty and Carmen brought their 

students studying pediatric nursing out to 

camp for a couple of Respite Care weekends 

in the fall. The students did a great job and we 

look forward to having more students in 2010! 

Thank you to the 8th grade students and faculty 

from Mt. Vernon Middle School for another very 

productive work day. This group always gets a 

lot of work done and we greatly appreciate it. 

We'll see you all again in the spring! 

A big thank you to Aaron Heffernan of Iowa City 

for his help with a respite care weekend this fall. 

Aaron is a graduate physical therapy student 

at the University of Iowa. He volunteered as a 

respite care counselor as part of his service 

learning class. We will be seeing many of his 

classmates at camp in the spring. 

Thank you to Cathy Faulkner and her son, 

Billy, who were part of an Art and Craft Show 

in Mt. Vernon where part of the proceeds 

came to camp. It was a great show! Cathy 

and her family have always been there to help 

the camp for over 20-years! 


Benefits of gifting of cash, stocks, and other 

assets to Camp Courageous 

Finding the “Best” Asset to Give 

Have you been considering making a gift to Camp Courageous? 

Oftentimes the decision to give is easier than the decision of what 

to give. 

If you have appreciated stock in your portfolio, consider giving 

the shares directly to Camp Courageous. Giving stock directly to a 

qualified 501(c)(3) organization typically results in a larger donation for the organization, a 

greater charitable tax deduction for you and the avoidance of tax liability for capital gains. 

Selling your shares to give a gift 

If you sell your shares in order to make a donation, you will pay long-term capital gain 

on the growth of the shares. For example, if you hold 100 shares of Public Company with a 

cost basis (purchase price) of $10 per share and if those shares have a current value of $30 

per share, then the capital gain upon selling them would be: $20 per share ($30 per share 

current value - $10 per share cost basis) multiplied by 100 shares totaling $2,000 of taxable 

gain. Likely, your gift will be net of the tax liability and will total the current value ($30 per 

share x 100 shares = $3,000) minus the tax liability ($2,000) and equal $1,000. Likewise, 

your charitable tax deduction will equal $1,000. 

Giving your shares directly 

Alternatively, if you donate your shares directly to Camp Courageous, you will avoid 

capital gains, donate a larger amount to the camp and receive a greater charitable tax 

deduction. Because the shares are given to a qualified 501(c)(3) organization, no capital 

gains tax is due. As such, your gift will constitute the full value of the shares totaling $3,000 

from our example above. Your charitable tax deduction will also be $3,000. 

Taking the time to analyze your assets and to choose the “best” asset to give benefits not 

only Camp Courageous, but may also reduce your tax liability. Should you need assistance 

reviewing your assets and structuring a charitable gift, please do not hesitate to contact us. 

We would be happy to assist you.

Camper Adventure Activities Require Safety Equipment FAREWAY STORES & CAMP 

COURAGEOUS PRESENT: 

Camp Courageous has been fortunate to 

have a great adventure program since its 

inception. The adventure program allows 

special needs campers to participate in a 

wide range of climbing activities such as 

the Wall Climb, Zipline, Burma Bridge, 

etc. 

These activities give campers a sense 

of normalcy that sometimes is not shown 

to them in the real world. Here at Camp 

Courageous it is felt that trying an activity 

is its own reward. It does not matter if a 

camper climbs all the way to the top of a 

climbing activity or if you just work up 

the nerve to put on the harness, it is all an 

accomplishment. 

Camp uses two types of seat harnesses. 

One type of seat harness used is made by 

Misty Mountain called the Challenge. It 

is primarily used with campers who use 

wheel chairs because they are easier to put 

on, but ambulatory campers can wear it 

as well. This gives camp great versatility. 

The other seat harness used is made by 

Adventure Experiences Inc. and comes in 

three sizes. It is very convenient to have 

sizes small, regular, and extra large to meet 

a camper’s need. 

Stubai 

Steel Oval 

Carabiners 

$16.00 ea. 

(need 10) 

28 

CAMP 

Rock Star 

Helmets 

$39.97 ea. 

(need 15) 

Another important components at 

an adventure activity are helmets and 

carabiners. Not only does the camper or 

participant wear a helmet while climbing, 

the belayer (properly trained facilitator, 

attached to climber via rope), the backup 

belayer and anyone who is going to be 

standing under the climbing element also 

wears them to protect their heads from 

falling objects. Carabiners are used to 

clip in campers to the belay rope with the 

belayer on the other end, keeping campers 

safe. 

Each of the climbing events use an average 

of six helmets, six seat harnesses, six chest 

harnesses, and seven to nine carabiners. 

Currently, camp has ten climbing activities 

available with a new one coming tentatively 

by the summer of 2010. 

Some of our equipment is getting older 

and needs to be replaced within the next 

year. Camp has begun the process of 

replacing the worn out equipment with the 

gear described above, however this can be 

financially overwhelming in these difficult 

times. Camp wants to reach out to you 

for help in purchasing the best possible 

equipment to continue providing the safest 

possible adventure experience for the 

campers. 

Adventure Experiences, Inc. 

Universal Seat Harness 

$39.00 ea. (need 2-XL,

Camp is adding to its camper activities that 

will be larger and more fun!! Thank you to 3z 

Company out of St. Cloud Minnesota for giving 

Camp a wonderful deal on an inflatable bounce 

house for campers. Fund raising for the purchase, 

transportation, and upkeep has begun! If you 

would like to help sponsor this fun house or other 

camper activity purchases then please contact Stephen Fasnacht by e-mail at 

stephen@campcourageous.org or call 319-465-5916, ext. 2310.

How can you help? 

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 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 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? 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 to 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. 

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 to work on landscaping around the track and 

depot. A special railcar designed by Iowa State University 

Mechanical Engineering students to accommodate the 

many needs of Camp Courageous campers has arrived. 

Expenses for this railcar and the overall project still needs 

to be covered. 

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 and 

the Mission Fish 

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. 

Marginal Note: To know the road ahead, ask those coming back. 

Used Laser/Ink Cartridges & Phones 

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 matt@campcourageous.org 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. 

Pool Blocks 

The Camp Courageous indoor pool was built one block 

at a time. Over the past few years it has become one of

Courier Newsletter Sponsorship 

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 

each issue is over $10,000. 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 or send E-mail to 

matt@campcourageous.org for more information.

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.
