Pineapple Gala returns to downtown Cedar Rapids with huge success!
Phil and Shirley Martin receive Honorary Board Award
A record year, saw nearly 600 attendees,
raise a record amount of donations.
Shelly Till and Ralph
Palmer made the
perfect emcees for this
evening's
activities.
They kept things light
and lively and always
focusing on why we
were there.
It was Camp’s pleasure
to recognize Phil and
Shirley Martin, during
the 2014 Pineapple Gala,
for receiving the highest
acknowledgement Camp
Courageous can bestow...
The Camp Courageous
Honorary Board Award. Phil
and Shirley are an extremely
hard working couple who exemplify love,
kindness, and caring. They now join the ranks
of people like Tait Cummins and Leo Greco;
also Honorary Board members.
Both Phil and Shirley Martin were raised

on farms in Davis Co., located in southern
Iowa. Early on they learned what hard work,
strong values, and commitment meant. Phil
met Shirley when he drove the school bus
his Junior and Senior year of High School.
She was on his route, and there the romance
began. Their first date was in 1955. They
were High School sweethearts and graduated
from Bloomfield High School. Today, even
though Phil and Shirley look like a couple of
kids, they have 4 children, 8 grandchildren,
and 3 great grandchildren.
Phil spent 40 years in the Airline Industry
starting in 1966. He was with Delta Airlines
for 7 years, and 33 years with United Airlines.
Shirley worked in the meat department of
grocery stores for 25 years.
In the mid 70s, Honorary Board member
Marty Kloska came to Cedar Rapids as
United Airlines’s City Manager. Wanting
to make a difference, he brought with him
the idea of flying in fresh
pineapples from Hawaii,
selling them and donating the
proceeds to a local charity. He
asked Phil to be a member of
a committee comprised of a
few United Airline employees
to find that charity. They chose
Camp Courageous and that
decision marked the beginning
of Phil’s relationship with camp. From the
first year in 1978, and for many years after,
Phil and Shirley were actively involved
with the Pineapple Campaign for Camp
Courageous, handling over 10’s of thousands
of pineapples. They also enlisted the help of
anyone who would listen.
In 1979 the first Pineapple Ball was
held at the Stouffers Five Season Hotel in
downtown Cedar Rapids. It included a huge
buffet and Hawaiian Entertainers flown in to
entertain crowds that peaked at 830! Phil and
Shirley were very involved and helped make
pineapple boats with jet fresh pineapples for
all who attended! They continue to volunteer
at the Pineapple Gala every year.
The beauty of Phil and Shirley is their love
for each other and how they do so much good
together. Whether it be serving a thousand
campers with special needs at camp’s “Back
To School Festival” or to handing out water
for a free will donation at the “J & P Cycle
Open House,” Phil and Shirley can be seen
as a kind, compassionate, hard-working team!
Phil recently retired from the Camp
Courageous Board, after serving over 15 years.
However, Phil & Shirley have not retired
from active duty with camp, now spanning
over 35 years! They remain extremely healthy
and continue to travel the world together.
Phil and Shirley Martin have been
wonderful role models to their kids and grand
kids, who have all been active with Camp.
But, in addition to their family, they have
also been beautiful models for all. They are a
wonderful example of how to live our lives in
the service of others, and with much love for
each other.

Annual PMCI Convention benefits Camp
The Petroleum
Marketers
&
Convenience
Stores of Iowa
have been very
fortunate
to
have been under
the leadership
of
Dawn
Carlson as their
President
for
over a decade. A
good and caring
person, she has
given the PMCI
membership
24/7 care. We
thank Dawn, and the PMCI staff for all they
do year-round for Camp. Sandy Bland,
in particular, puts on numerous events
throughout the year to benefit the camp. A
great team!
At this year's PMCI
Convention I had the
pleasure of spending
some wonderful time
with
the
Keynote
Speaker, Larry (and
Ann) Spencer. Larry
spent seven years
as a POW in the
Hanoi Hilton, a North
Vietnamese
prison.
Larry told a compelling
story on how we control how we will deal
with the cards we are dealt. He talked about
the highlight of each year in captivity was
Christmas when they were allowed one gift
from home. They would pool their fruitcakes,
cut them up, and that would be the closest
thing to home. We promised to send Larry &
Ann a Camp Courageous Fruitcake. They do
not come any finer than Larry and Ann, two
very inspiring individuals.
Manchester Garage Sale
Open until Oct. 18th
The Manchester Garage Sale ends at noon,
Saturday, October 18th. It was another
super year for about 50+ volunteers and
we thank all those who brought in things
to sell and those who came to buy. Look
for the reopening in April 2015!

Raising money for Camp Courageous are
(L-R) Glen Hasken, Vice-Chair from Molo
Petroleum in Dubuque and Marshall
Petersen, Chairman of the Board and
with Hawkeye Oil in Cedar Rapids.
Both individuals are true gentleman,
with unswerving integrity. Together they
raised a lot of money for the camp. Last
year, Glen's son gave one of the best
talks I have ever heard on volunteering
at camp. Marshall named his son, Tait,
after Tait Cummins, a great promoter
when the camp started. Great team, a
great organization... supporting Camp
Courageous since 1981!
Three outstanding
ladies! (L-R) Former
Board
President
Winnie
Williams,
Current
Board
President
Margo
Ahrendsen,
and
Board Member Mag
Welter, load a truck
and trailer and head
to the Manchester
Garage Sale. There are three very hard
working women who have made regular
trips to Manchester this year. Super ladies!
J&P Cycles holds annual Open House and Golf Benefit for Camp
J & P Cycles held its 12th Annual Golf
Outing at Wapsi Golf Course in Anamosa.
The golf tournament originated as a way for
industry distributors and media, who travel
from across the country, to relax during an
afternoon of friendship and fun, all while
raising money for Camp Courageous.
We cannot thank the Parham Family
enough, along with their adopted family
member, Pat, in the middle. Between the
special golf tournament, and three-days
of Open Houses, where bottled water and
food are for a free-will donation for camp,
this event has turned into a top Camp
Courageous Fund Raiser. Special thank you
to (L-R) John & Jill Parham, Pat Burross, who
comes all the way from Texas, and Zach and
Bri Parham. A wonderful family!
Craig Johnson
of
Brainard
MN, presents
Jill Parham an
Airhawk cushion
pad, designed
for
campers
who
use
a
wheelchair. Very
nice gift for
camp!
Zach Parham, of J & P Cycles presents a
check to Camp Courageous. “It gives me
great pleasure to donate this check to Camp
Courageous on behalf of J&P Cycles, our
industry partners, and customers.” Zach has
a heart of gold and is a great leader of J & P
Cycles.
Marginal Note: Many people miss their share of happiness not becaus they never found it, but because they didn’t stop to enjoy it.

Camp mourns the loss of volunteer Gerry Rohr
One of the best things to happen to The
Becker Family upon moving to Monticello 34
years ago was having the good fortune of living
across the street from Gerry Rohr for 25 years.
And up the street for another nine years. Gerry
was as close to being a member of our family
as anyone. Seldom would a day go by that we
didn’t visit. Unfortunately for Gerry, with the
visit usually came a problem that needed to be
fixed. Gerry was a genius that could fix just about
anything.
Gerry’s greatest joy in life was helping others
and expected absolutely nothing in return. From
his years on the volunteer fire department, to
helping at the fair, to helping a neighbor, Gerry
is one of only a very few people that I always felt
I could call at any hour of any day or night and
he would be there for me or Camp Courageous.
Gerry was a person of the utmost trust and
integrity.
Since coming to Monticello, Gerry was always
there to help me with Camp Courageous projects.
He realized first hand how helpless I was. That
relationship slowly grew until eventually Gerry
became a major part of the inner-workings of the
camp. From the generators that operate about
90% of the camp during electrical outages to the
train, we all became very dependent on his skills.
Gerry and I had a ritual. Everyday he would
arrive at camp around 6 AM while I would be
signing thank-you letters. We would visit about
the accomplishments of the prior day, what was
going to be done that day, and our future dreams
for continuing to grow Camp. I delegated a lot of
work to Gerry, and I never needed to follow-up.
He would glow with excitement when someone
would say, “sure Gerry, we’ll help you with that
project.” It was especially nice to see Gerry get
excited over a new project like the caboose, which
he discovered on the internet. Gerry was like a
little kid in a candy shop. He was so excited over
the expansion of the train to Lake Todd. The
rail was laid and just a little balancing remained
before campers were going to be going on a new
and longer train ride. He was within hours of
taking those first campers out, but unfortunately
it never happened.
Over the past few years Gerry was very good
at imparting information on how things worked
I’ve been working on the railroad… Super
crew on Fridays… Pictured are (L-R) Steve
Supple, James Kurth, Gerry Rohr, Merlin
Hulse, and Craig Lampe as they lay track at
Lake Todd! Everyone is very excited about
this new addition.

and how to repair everything and anything.
Gerry was a wonderful teacher and role model
for James Kurth, Camp’s Maintenance Director.
James and Gerry had a very special relationship,
that both treasured. We will be forever grateful to
Gerry for sharing his knowledge and skills.
Gerry had so much compassion for others. It
is extremely difficult to think he is gone. Every
time I hear the sound of a scooter or a lawn
mower, or the whistle of the train, I expect to
see Gerry rounding the corner. Gerry’s death is a
tremendous loss to the community, to his family,
and to the thousands and thousands of campers
who loved Gerry with all their heart, whose
highlight of coming to camp was riding the train.
Life will never be the same, but what an
incredible legacy Gerry Rohr leaves behind.
-Charlie
(L-R) Camp’s Maintenance Director James
Kurth and Gerry Rohr’s wife, Donna, pictured
before the inaugural ride on the new track to
Lake Todd that is dedicated to Gerry.
Camp had a special inaugural train ride
across the new tracks at Lake Todd by the
late Train Engineer Gerry Rohr’s family.
It was a treat to
have Honorary
Board Members
Sonya and Tom
Penaluna out to
camp to review
the
progress
being made at
Lake Todd. They
are standing near
the caboose that
overlooks
the
Lake. Lake Todd
is in memory of
Tom and Sonya’s
son, Todd, who was an annual camper at
Camp Courageous until his passing. Tom
and Sonya have provided endless hours of
support over the years. Super couple and
family, with daughters Jill & Jodie.
A huge thank you to Erich Gamm, owner of
West Union Trenching. The area known as
Lake Todd sits on top of a bed of limestone.
When it comes to something as simple as
digging a water line, one can only get down
one or two feet before hitting stone. That is
when Erich came to the rescue. Eric began
his business venture when he was 16 years
old and has built
this business to
what it is today.
In
1993,
Erich
began
burying
drops to houses
with a drop plow
and one person
helping. He has
since expanded his
services to include
plowing, trenching,
rock
sawing,
excavation
and
directional boring.
The amazing team
at
West
Union
Trenching has also grown to 25 employees.
Eric has a Vermeer Rock Trencher which can
tackle almost any project. The machine cuts
through frost and rock with ease.
A huge thank you
to Jim Caswell,
AMVETS Post 110
of Anamosa and
Family Foods of
Anamosa for the
generous donation
of 72 packages of
dairy free buns.
Bread is a staple
food item that
we can always
use at camp. We
appreciate your thoughtfulness and support.

“TASTY” is incapable of doing justice to a Camp Courageous Fruitcake. Comments
usually uttered include, mouth-watering, delectable, scrumptious, exquisite, delicious,
heavenly, delicacy... you get the picture. However, in many cases the taste buds are so
overwhelmed with pleasure that the eyes glaze over and the only sound made is a distinct
and prolonged “MMMMMMM”.....followed immediately by a plea for, “more please!!!”
It’s certain your first bite will never be your last.
Camp Courageous fruitcakes are made with the sweet fruit of green and red candied
cherries, pineapple chunks, pecans, English walnuts, Brazil nuts, and mixed with golden
raisins and sweetened coconut. These one-pound fruitcakes contain no alcohol or citron.
There is barely enough cake batter to hold everything together so the cakes are frozen the
day after baking and should be sliced frozen because they will crumble if sliced at room
temperature. They need to be stored, cut and served frozen. Frozen cakes stay moist and
delicious for months.
These are the fruitcakes that even non-fruitcake eaters love! They are reasonably priced
so you can treat yourself and others to the best.

Pictured is Bill Pfister, Marketer at Fauser Energy Resources, (center
red shirt) surrounded by dozens of campers and counselors during
his recent visit to Camp Courageous. BP Petroleum, in collaboration
with their BP Fueling Communities Program, local BP stations, and
Fauser Energy Resources has awarded Camp Courageous a grant.
Camp’s relationship with Fauser Energy Resources began in 1981,
when Don Fauser visited Camp Courageous as a board member of
the Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Stores of Iowa. During
that visit the Petroleum Marketers decided to take Camp Courageous
under their wing, at a time when the camp was struggling to survive.
Since then the camp has grown from serving hundreds of campers
to serving thousands of campers, is open-year round, has grown
from 40 acres to 200 acres; and from 5 buildings to over 20. Don
Fauser, and his son, Paul, have been actively involved in the success
of Camp Courageous for over 30 years. They are a good and carrying
family of incredible integrity and those exceptional traits spill over
into their work. Camp Courageous feels very fortunate to have BP
Petroleum and Fauser Energy Resources come together to make this
wonderful gift possible.
Thank you to the Iowa American Legion
Foundation for their wonderful support of
the Camp’s Sprinkler System for Beckwith
Dormitory. Above, George Raes of Post 238
in DeWitt and Carroll E. Wener, President of
the American Legion of Iowa Foundation,
present camp a check for this year’s project.
Ever since Church Williams introduced
Camp to this group decades ago, they have
been loyal supporters.
A big thank you to GE Capital for once again
coming through this year with a huge paper
drive to help camp! They divided the site into
teams of 40-50, gave them a week to collect
as many paper towels as they could and on
the last day were asked to take the paper
towels they collected and create a sculpture.
Prizes were rewarded for most collected,
most creative, and three donation levels.
Thank you to the committee and all those
who made this huge donation possible!
Thank you to Franklin County Sheriff Larry
Richtsmeier for his generous donation of
wooden toys just in time for the Visually
Impaired Week. Larry continues his father’s
legacy of making these toys that delight our
VI campers. Dutch Richtsmeier made literally
thousands of toys over a 15 year period
and now Larry has for the past three years
to make sure his dad’s memory lives on.
Larry also brought a huge donation of much
needed paper products collected by Center
One Development Group of Franklin Co. in
Hampton. Last but not least was a memorial
donation from the Richtsmeier family in
memory of Larry’s mom. Thank you Larry
and Center One for your ongoing generous
support and friendship!
Kate Bennett is presenting a check to Camp
Courageous. The donation was part of what
Will (Kate’s brother) won when he entered the
AccuQuilt Quilt Block Barn Design Contest
in honor of Kate. Kate is surrounded by her
mom, Judy, and dad, Steve, all of Grinnell,
IA. Will, who now lives in Columbus, Ohio,
realizes first hand what a treat it is for Kate to
come to Camp Courageous and how much
she loves her stays.
The Farraioli girls visited camp this summer
for the first time in three years. They were
amazed at the all the changes in such a
short time. Carolyn and her daughters are
from Whitefish Bay, WI and first heard of
Camp Courageous through her mom, Ardy
Sloane who passed away three years ago.
Ardy was from the Cedar Rapids area and
was a huge fan of Camp Courageous. Her
family requested her memorials to go to
Camp. Pictured are (L-R, back row) Carolyn,
Sloane, (front) Mona, and Luca Farraioli.
Once again this year, Camp’s friends at
Toyota Financial Services in Cedar Rapids
had a fund raiser for Camp Courageous. A
special thank you to Team Impact, (above)
for all their work that went into making their
Casual Month for Camp Courageous (July)
such a huge success. We cannot thank
Tracey Bennett and the group enough.
Marginal Note: The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well.
Thank you to Shawnacy Rohwedder and
the Wells Fargo Staff for their ongoing
support of Camp Courageous with their
generous donation, and allowing camp the
privilege of doing a presentation for them.
The donation of arts & craft supplies and
household goods were wonderful. Pictured
are (L-R) Tony Nguyen, Ben Gander, Ron
Pins, Anee Lampe, Niki Davis, Heather
Fortune-Vestweber, Jody Bowers, Dan Perez
and Shawnacy Rohwedder.
A big thank you to ABC Fire Protection and
owner (R) Kris Husman, who check all of
the fire extinguishers at camp along with the
fire system in the kitchen. They have been
donating their services to Camp Courageous
for over twenty years.

2014 Chicago Urban
Bicycle Society
Over our ten years together the C.U.B.S.
have provided the camp two specially
designed tandem recumbent bikes.
This has given the camp’s most severely
and profoundly disabled campers the
opportunity to enjoy the same thrill each
of them experience when riding their bike,
along with all the other campers. The
C.U.B.S. have provided a special room
in the camp’s indoor pool for campers to
have parties or for staff training. They have
provided a room in the staff dormitory,
knowing that an exceptional staff is key
to the camp’s success. They provided the
famous CUBS train car, that was specially
designed by Iowa State Engineering
Students, and has transported thousands
of campers through the forest at Camp
Courageous, and so much more. They
have been actively involved in every major
project at camp for the past ten years. It is
an honor for Camp Courageous to be a part
of the CUBS Family.

gentleman!
Thanks to Greg and Luann Morton for
bringing a great group of hard working
people from the Prairie View United
Methodist Church in Fairfield to work for
a day at camp. This group always gets a lot
of work done!
Jamie Boynton with her children Jocee &
Rhys from Muscatine brought up a van full
of arts and crafts supplies and other needed
items in honor of her mother-Carol Mace.
Carol drove school bus for Louis Muscatine
School and would bring campers to camp
every spring.
A huge thank you
to Olympia and
Jerry Gaspar who
brought in some
lovely floral and
home decor items.
(Also donated the
popular Coke semi
earlier this year.)
A fantastic couple
with hearts of gold!
The Lions International Youth Exchange Program provided
Camp the opportunity to give a presentation to an amazing
group of teens from around the world. The students spend the
better part of 3 weeks with a host family or families and one
week at the Lions International Camp where they learn more
about the myriad of ways Lions help so many and also get
introduced to Camp Courageous, being one of the benefactors
of the Lions support.

McKenzie
Huseman poured
her heart into
five extraordinary
Scentsy Baskets,
which were a
huge hit at the
Gala! Thank you
McKenzie!
The Weber and Schmitz families delivered
another truckload of wonderful items to be
used for the Pineapple Gala. Pat Schmitz has
been making handcrafted wooden items for
many years. This year, once again, he did not
disappoint with his talented creations! These
items are much sought after at the Gala.
Shown with some of their donations are (LR) Mike and Peggy Weber of Jesup, Pat and
Paulette Schmitz of Delaware AR and their
grandsons Joey and Hunter Phillips.
A huge than you to Janet and Denny Zahrt
for their continued and generous donations
for the annual Pineapple Gala. Also for the
most beautiful surprise for the caboose Caboose quilts for the beds! This wonderful
couple does so much for camp all year long.

Back-To-School Festival • 2014
Hundreds of special education students came from Eastern Iowa schools
to attend this year’s Back-To-School Festival. The day was filled with fun
activities and blue skies with lots of sunshine… couldn’t have been a nicer
day. A big thank you to all the students, teachers, staff, and especially the
volunteers that helped make this event possible (some are pictured below).
Thank you to Peppy’s Ice Cream for coming to
the year’s festival. They gave away hundrends
of popsicles to students throughout the event.
This picture couldn’t be taken from the other
side of their van because of all the people in
line were blocking the view of their truck! They
were very popular on this sunny afternoon.

Rick Meyer - State Farm
Insurance, Monticello Maquoketa Valley Rural Electric
and F& M Bank for filling Louie’s shoes

This group of Monticello High School students
are incredible. Susan Weaver and Shannon
Guyer have been bringing their special
education class to CC for years to volunteer
for several events annually. They helped with
carnival games, cleaning the lodge rest rooms,
restocking the rest rooms, bagging up the
trash and putting way close to 500 chairs and
30 tables at the end of the Festival. We do not
know what we would do without their hard
work and cheerful attitudes! Thanks!!

The history of the Pineapples…
In the mid 70s, Honorary Board Member
Marty Kloska came to Cedar Rapids to take over
as United Airline’s City Manager. Marty was a
mover and a shaker and an exceptional visionary.
He came into the Cedar Rapids market wanting
to make a difference, and that is what he did.
He was very family and community oriented.
He had everyone involved in his projects. He
had the idea of flying pineapples, jet fresh from
Hawaii and the selling them to benefit a local
charity. Marty would work on the logistics
and he had a committee composed of Phil
Martin, Steve Newlin, and Jack Steel work to
find a charity they could support. They met
with Tait and Dotty
Cummins and chose
Camp Courageous. But
it wasn’t a slam dunk.
A number of camp
board members did
some research of the
Cedar Rapids market
and discovered about
five pineapples had
been sold in the area grocery stores over the
past week, so there was some reservation. But
Marty remembers Tait slapping his cane on the
table and saying we are going to do this. Phil
and his family and the United Airlines staff
lined-up pineapples to be flown from Hawaii,
into Chicago, where our good friend, Herold
Smith of CRST had refrigerated trucks wait
to transport them to be sold at K-Marts East
and West and Smulekofs downtown Cedar
Rapids…over 800 cases of pineapple a weekend
were sold for 3 weekends. The first year was
1978 and it was extremely successful. Phil &
Shirley were actively involved every step of the
way and handled 10s-of-thousands of pineapple
over the years. Marty, Phil, Steve and Jack soon
enlisted the help of anyone who would listen.
Along with Tait Cummins from WMT, Marty
quickly discovered Rick Sellers, who was fairly
new to the community and fairly new to WMTradio. Rick promoted the Pineapples and Camp
Courageous on the radio.
In 1979 George Sells was the first General
Manager of Stouffers Five Season Hotel in
downtown Cedar Rapids. Marty pulled George
into the Pineapple Campaign with a Pineapple
Ball, which included a huge buffet and Hawaiian
Entertainers flown in from Hawaii to entertain
crows that peaked at 830! We all sighed a breath
of relief after the Hawaiian fire throwers show
was complete. Several of us watched from a
distance after the flames came within inches of
the new hotels sprinkler system.
If you are a federal employee,
don’t forget camp during this
year’s
Combined Federal
Campaign.

THE CAMP COURAGEOUS OF IOWA PERPETUAL FUND
In 1980, a gentleman by the name of Dr. Earl
DeShaw stopped by the camp to visit. As we
stood on the front lawn watching some campers
with severe disabilities have the time of their lives,
he said, “there but for the grace of God go I.” He
told me of his dream of establishing a perpetual
fund for the camp, where the principal would be
invested and the interest would go to support the
camp.
At this same time the camp was building an
indoor pool, (which it did not have the funds to
be building), much of my time was spent on the
phone letting creditors know the camp was doing
all it could to pay its bills. There was no money to
pay the director an annual salary of $17,000, and
we were talking about putting money on interest?
Well, Dr. DeShaw told the board he would
volunteer five years of his life (he was 80 then,
and ended up volunteering the rest of his life-up
to 91) to find 100 people to join him in giving
$1,000 a year for five years. Dr. DeShaw was the
first in and he soon convinced me that at $20 a
week I would be there in no time. This $5,000
pledge over five years was the biggest investment
of my life, but I signed because I believed so
strongly in the integrity of this man and the
future of camp. He quickly gathered friends
like Jim Maurice from the Monticello Bank to
be treasurer and Wilfred Shellenbarger from
Farmers Bank in Marion to be on the Perpetual
Fund Board.
Since my early reservation I have become one
of the biggest fans of the Camp Courageous
Perpetual Fund and continue to give, just as Dr.
DeShaw taught me. I have had the opportunity
to see Camp Courageous touch the lives of
thousands of families in so many wonderful
ways, I want to know the camp will continue this
tradition long after I am gone. That is why the
majority of my gifts to camp in memory of loved
ones, in honor of special occasions, etc. go to the
Perpetual Fund.

I hope you will join me in considering
giving to the Perpetual Fund. It is our goal to
see the Perpetual Fund provide the foundation
from which the camp's future is assured. The
income generated from the Perpetual Fund
is the only income Camp Courageous can
depend on each year, since the camp is run on
donations, without government funding, formal
sponsorship, or people paid to raise money for
the camp. Contributions to the Perpetual Fund
not only provide campers with special needs the
opportunity to come to camp, but it also provides
the parents the reassurance that there will always
be someone at camp to meet the special needs of
their family member, 24 hours a day, 365 days
a year.
Those who have passed away, and have left
money in their will for camp…also goes into the
Camp’s Perpetual Fund thus leaving a legacy that
will go on forever. Camp was also very fortunate,
that in the year 2000, our dear friends, Ronald
and Winifred (Plumb) Fleming endowed the
Executive Director position at Camp Courageous,
which is also part of the Perpetual Fund. (Also
known as the Foundation or endowment).
A plaque-acknowledging contributors is on
display in the camp’s Main Lodge. Gifts to the
Camp’s Perpetual Fund are cumulative, thus
allowing one to move up from one category to
the next. — Charlie Becker

Camp was saddened
by the passing of Trudy
James. Clyde and Trudy
James were a wonderful
couple! Tait & Dotty
Cummins, along with many
others, always talked about
them being the nicest
couple one could ever
want to meet! Dotty and Trudy had a beautiful
friendship that spread over the decades.
They enjoyed many Bridge games for Camp
Courageous, coffee at Danish Maid Bakery,
and lunches at the Spring House. Trudy was
always there to help sell Pineapples, cut them
up for the Gala, and always there to lend a
hand to help someone. Clyde and Trudy have
left us many fond memories... they are both
very dearly missed...
Bob Zeman, 89, of Solon
passed
away.
Long
time supporter of Camp
Courageous. Bob always
admired and wanted to
follow in the footsteps of
Leo Greco. Bob enjoyed
entertaining through his
band, “The Iowa Rangers”.
Marj and Bob had many
dances and celebrations to
benefit Camp Courageous
and he donated his CDs to
the Camp Store to be sold.
Bob and Marjorie Zeman’s
most recent celebration, with gifts to Camp,
was their 65th wedding anniversary on October
9, 2011. Wonderful Couple… both now gone.
Gary Freese was a loyal
Camp
Courageous
volunteer for as long as his
health would allow him...
and he still continued
when he was hurting.
From picking-up eggs
for the omelet breakfast,
cooking-up omelets, to
helping with fruitcakes...
there wasn't much Gary and Judy would not
do not camp. Gary will be dearly missed....

I had the good fortune
of meeting Tom Stelzer
through one of Camp’s early
administrative
assistants,
Peggy Behrends. Peggy’s
husband,
Russ,
was
Assistant Warden at the
Iowa Men’s Reformatory
in Anamosa, where Tom
headed up Iowa Prison
Industries. During our early
years, camp was very poor, and when we
bought something, we did not have much
money to spend, and it had to last a long
time. Tom would line camp up with excellent
tables, chairs, bunk beds, dressers, etc. at the
best price he could give. Much of the items
bought over 30 years ago, are still in use today.
Personally, Tom prepared our taxes for over
30 years. He had a personality that one could
not help but love. Tom taught me the fun that
comes with numbers. He loved his family and
often talked about where everyone was and
what they were doing. We looked forward to
our annual visits in his basement. Tom brought
about as much humor to our taxes as one
could bring. It was a wonderful tradition. Tom
would give the shirt off his back to Camp
Courageous, both personally and through Iowa
Prison Industries. They didn’t come any better
than Tom. He will be very dearly missed… our
heart goes out to Shirley and his family. – cwb
John Stimpson, 91 of
Anamosa, has passed
away. He used to be
a regular at Camp
Courageous,
taking
particular interest and care
of camp’s two-cylinder
John Deere tractor. John
was a member of the TwoCylinder Club of Troy Mills,
which donated the tractor
to the camp.
Carol
Carlson
of
Manchester…a very loyal
volunteer for years at the
passed away…with her
memorials going to Camp
Courageous.
Camp’s
sympathy goes out to her
husband, Les and their
family. She will be dearly
missed by her fellow volunteers, donors, and
customers at the Garage Sale!

Lions’ dollars turn into
joyful smiles during Visual
Impairment Camp
By Lions Jim Bixler and Bob Willits PDG,
Iowa Lions Foundation Trustee
As one of the trustee’s charged with raising
funds for this week of camp, I thought that it
would beneficial to me personally and to the Lions
of Iowa that I participate in this week of camp. I
volunteered as a counselor for the week. It’s hard
to describe how rewarding my week was and how
I wish to express my thanks as well as the thanks
of the Iowa Lions Foundation to the Lions of Iowa
that made this week possible.
You can only
imagine what this
means to a visually
impaired
camper.
During the week,
they will have the
opportunity to go
swimming, horseback
riding, bike riding via
a specialized bike, canoeing, camping, going down
the zip line, and many other activities. Also, a ride
on the scale model train, housed at the Iowa Lions
Railroad Depot, is a real favorite activity for the
campers to participate in. Everyone should see the
smiles on their faces as they are having so much fun
throughout their week-long camping experience.
There is a tremendous amount of work that goes
on prior the start of the week. Prior to the week,
the campers for the week are known, decisions
made as to what “cabins” and staffing required to
meet the needs of the campers.
For the campers the week starts out with their
arrival and greeting by their councilors. The
family or persons bringing the camper checks
them in and signs the necessary paperwork. Their
medications are checked in with the nursing staff
and the campers are given a brief physical exam
to document their status upon arrival. Then it’s
off the cabins for putting their belongings away.
Each camper gets a marked location to place their
belongings in selected by their councilors prior
to their arrival. Personal bathroom items are kept
separately in as secure closet. Medications are
distributed by the nursing staff per the instructions
at check-in. Food restrictions if any for the
campers are monitored by dietary staff. Any special
needs are noted, food prepared and marked for
distribution at each meal.
Once campers are settled in there is evening
meal with introductions of the camping groups
to get everyone involved and then the scheduling
of activities takes place. They are done by the
councilors of each group but trying to maximize
the enjoyment of each camper. After this there
was karaoke out on the sidewalk and lawn until
bedtime at 8:30pm. Evening meds are distributed
and campers are readied for bed. Campers are
never left alone at night: there are three counselors
there at all time to assist the campers through the
night. Some campers have to have their positions
changed several times during the night or helped to
the bathroom, etc. Counselors take turn
during the week to ease the
strain on all. The counselors
are compassionate and
kind
ensuring
that
their campers are safe,

Lake Todd Project
A 30 acre land acquisition has allowed for the
construction of a 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 another lake that is 20 minutes away.
You can help defray the costs of constructing
Lake Todd 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 send
e-mail to: charlie @campcourageous.org

Naming Opportunities
Over 90% of the Camp Courageous staff
live at the camp. This is a real advantage
when assistance is needed at any hour
of any day, particularly with emergency
respite care.
It is the camp’s goal to have naming
rights to all the homes at camp, so instead
of referring to a home as the “Travel
Director’s Home” it will be called the “John
Smith Home” (named after the donor).
Each home’s naming right will be $100,000
and a beautiful engraved stone sign will
be at the entrance to the home. The first
home (pictured above), is now known as
the “Bill and Jodie Beckwith Home.” This
beautiful brick home along the camp road
is currently the home for Craig and Sheri
Lampe, camp’s long-term volunteers. At
one time this was a school house... lots of
history in a beautiful home.
Contact Charlie Becker for more
information on naming rights on one of
the other staff homes… with your name
or in memory or in honor of a loved one.
For more information about the plaque
you can contact Charlie at (319) 465-5916,
ext. 2100, or send him an e-mail at charlie@
campcourageous.org.

Riley Train Depot Plaque
Tom and Nan Riley donated a train 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 and future expansion of the train.
The name, or the wording of choice, will appear on
a 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 plaque you can
contact Charlie at (319) 465-5916, ext. 2100, or send

We are very grateful to all those past staff
who were able to travel to Camp Courageous
to celebrate the camp's 40th year of serving
campers! It was a special treat to have
Honorary Board Member, Gary Turbes, the
camp's first Director present, along with Liz
Hennessey Valiere... part of the Hennessey
Family who did the first ground work. From 211
campers served in 1974 to close to 7,000, 40
years later... what a ride!

Planet p Courageous!
for Cam
Over 25 years ago Leigh Clark came to the
camp, willing to give Camp Courageous his
secret fruitcake recipe if Camp would take
it on as a fund raiser. Personally, I thought
he was kidding as I bit my cheeks so I won’t
laugh. Well, he wasn’t kidding, and the next
thing you know, we were in the fruitcake
business. We needed massive amounts
of ingredients… so the first place we went
was Davenports Sam’s Club, which had
just opened. It was extra special to go back
to the Davenport Sam’s, where four of the
original employees are still there, and share
with them their role in what has become a
great fund raiser. We thank them for their
support and congratulate them on 25 years!
Here are some of the staff, with Chad Porter,
Store Manager in the middle.
Thursday, Oct. 16th
5:00 PM to 8:00 PM

The first week of July we had a very
special group at Camp volunteering from
Clarendon Hills,IL. More specifically from
the Community Presbyterian Church
which includes youth and adults. Interim
pastor Rev. David Handley and a church
elder Bruce Granger flew in from their
home town to make a surprise visit to
Camp Courageous. They wanted to see
the place that has kept individuals from
their congregation coming back year after
year for about three decades now. After
viewing the camp’s video and a brief tour
they met up with their group, who have
been doing a fabulous job here this week!
Our sincere appreciation to this dedicated
group of clergy and lay persons who reach
out beyond their church and community,
truly living out what they are taught and
are “good samaritans.”
Pictured from L-R are Bruce Granger
(pilot); Susie Jones (volunteer) and Rev.
Dave Handley.
Be sure to check-in
when you’re at camp!
Theresa Hansen (L) and Sindy McDonnell
(R) traveled to Camp from De Witt with a car
load of assorted clothing, household items,
food and kitchen supplies, and paper. It was
wonderful to meet these ladies. Camp is truly
appreciative of their generosity
Thank you to Dennis Shaffer for making the
call inviting camp to present a program to
the Alburnett Lions Club. They have been
supporters of Camp Courageous for years.
A group that together, and individually, have
provided a great fountain of support to the
camp. Always a treat to see (pictured far
right) George and Charlotte Machacek, who
are in their 90s! They never miss a camp
breakfast. President of their Lions (standing
center) is Gene Neighbor, a long-time friend
of the camp.
Thank you to (L-R) Cheryl Stufflebeam,
Jeri Hansen, and Ron Hansen for bringing
memorial donations to the camp in memory
of Cheryl and Jeri's mom Eloise Morse.
They also dropped of donations of other
needed items.
Camp
Courageous
was fortunate to have
friend Al Kloft, introduce
us to Wayne Maiers
of Dubuque. Wayne
has been a wonderful
supporter of Camp,
providing many items
for the Pineapple Gala,
along with many much
needed items at camp! We are grateful for
Wayne's support!
Marginal Note: Many people are so poor because the only thing they have is money.
Thank you to the Alburnett United
Methodist Church for this donation from
their Easter Offering. These wonderful ladies
were preparing a delicious meal for the
Alburnett Lions, when they presented this
check.

In 1934, Eldon C. Stutsman
started a milk route, and his
neighbors soon asked him
to bring supplies back from
town. As a farmer himself, Eldon was glad
to oblige. The requests kept coming and
soon a company was born. Today, Eldon
C. Stutsman, Inc. is eastern Iowa’s largest
supplier of agricultural products, retail and
wholesale. What’s more, Eldon C. Stutsman,
Inc. is a multi-generational business and is
still family-owned.
Pictured is the Eldon and Dorothy Stutsman
Family. Ron, Carolyn, Roger, Jim, Donna,
and Cathie. To celebrate the company’s
80th Anniversary they raffled a Weber Grill
to benefit two of Eldon's favorite charities,
Camp Courageous and Shriners Hospitals
for Children. What a wonderful family of good
and caring individuals, just like their parents.
Here are two great camp supporters, Ron
Stutsman and Steve Weeber. It was Steve
who inspired Duane Sill to build the John &
Dorothy Sill Barn. We traveled to rural Hills,
IA to see first hand Steve’s barn. Steve was
super gracious. Steve went on to donate and
display plow seats and hay trolleys in the Sill
Barn… an incredible collection. Wonderful
folks!
Camp Courageous would like to thank Kent
Feed out of Muscatine for their tremendous
support over the years in providing Camp
the feed it takes to provide for the farm
animals… which is huge. Far right, hanging
on to a camp goat is Uriel Moorer. Uriel is
the new Nature Specialist. He has been with
the camp for several years and is an extra
special staff person to many campers.
26
Thank you to Stutsmans in Hills, IA for their
donation of pallets of salt for Camp's water
softening system and system to eliminate
nitrates. Here Jim Hochsteeler helps unload
several pallets of salt. This represents a huge
donation for which we are very grateful.
(L-R) Thank you to Roger & Sally Stutsman,
President Larry Kral, Al Wicks and his wife
Jan for inviting camp to give a program to the
Old Capital Kiwanis in Iowa City. This great
group has nearly 100 active members. This is
where our relationship with Eldon Stutsman
began. We are grateful for the wonderful
comments made about Camp Courageous
by Roger Stutsman at that morning’s
meeting. They were very heartwarming in
light of his Dad, Eldon’s, 100th birthday. We
are grateful for the donation and three cases
of plasticware and a wonderful friendship!
Randy's Tree
Service
from
Lisbon/Mt.
Vernon
(319929-4036) has
helped
Camp
Courageous
with
our
toughest
tree
situations
for
years. Randy is
exceptional and
does everything
for camp for
free. Randy is
a super nice
person and very sharp when it comes to
trees. He has pointed out a number of trees
that showed enough damage or disease,
that we had a choice either take them down,
or watch them slowly die and take a great
chance of having them fall on someone or
something. Having had a camp supporter
permanently brain injured as result of a
branch hitting her during a windy day at
her home, and an area teacher killed in her
tent a few years ago from a tree falling, we
have renewed respect for the woods and the
dangers that come with it. Thank you Randy!
Mike & Julie Hodge of Hodge Construction
of Iowa City and their family volunteered
for a day at Camp. As a Christmas present
Mike wanted his family to get together and
volunteer for a community service project.
It turned out to be a very nice present for
Camp, too! Thank you Hodge family for using
your building skills to construct a bunker at
the Carver center. We so appreciate your
thoughtfulness in giving to camp. Pictured

Yagla, Andy Hodge, Lauren Larson, Isaac
Hammes, Molly Davin, Nolan Frey, Emily
Hammes, Chad Hohle, and Tim Davin.
Rod Ballou, from Hawaii, made a trip to
Camp Courageous this year versus sending
a huge box of goodies from Hawaii for the
Pineapple Gala. Rod is super and he brought
along his Dad, Earl Ballou and sister, Kat.
Great family. Earl has been involved with
Camp since almost the beginning.
Camp Courageous would like to thank
Andy and Althea Anderson, lifetime
friends of Marg and Cal Wagner
(above), for fulfilling their wishes,
by supporting Camp Courageous
through their will. Cal was in the Iowa
Highway Patrol for nearly 40 years...
serving alongside Andy Anderson.
One of the biggest thrills of Cal's life
was being a part of the Honor Flight
to Washington DC. Marg was active in
the VFW Auxiliary and a regular Camp
supporter. Together they have left a
legacy to Camp Courageous, which will
be helping campers forever.
Camp Board of Directors
Camp Courageous would like
to thank Ely Town & Country &
Independence First Baptist Church
for giving Camp the opportunity to
present a program to them.
The Cedar Rapids Washington Volleyball
Team, headed-up by Amy Faulkner (L-front)
were an outstanding help in unloading a
straight truck of auction items and setting-up
for the Pineapple Gala. A great group!
An incredible donation from an incredible
lady. Lois Staner donated the supplies,
molds, kilns and countless ceramic projects
of a 30-year business to the camp. Arts &
Crafts is an activity the campers thoroughly
enjoy as they can express their creativity.
Thank you also to the Owen family for
unselfishly giving of their time on a Saturday
morning to help load all these items from
Lois. Pictured from L-R: Rosa Owen, Rob
Machado, Lizzy Owen, Natalie Owen, Aaron
Owen, Lois Staner, Craig Lampe, and Harold
Staner.
Thank you to Russ Risley and Denny Zahrt
for coming up from the Quad Cities with an
enclosed trailer and pick-up load of items for
the camp. And a thank you to all the Masonic
Bodies in that area for collecting items for
camp. A super group!
Pictured above is Tommy McNab, Vice
President/Powersports Division of Street
FX, Marine FX and ElectroStar. Tommy
has taken up the Camp Courageous cause
in light of the recent passing
of Jim Lewis (right) from
Buztronics. Jim was always
looking out for the campers
at
Camp
Courageous,
obtaining all kinds of
goodies that brought delight
into their lives. Jim would
open the trunk of his car to
the delight of the campers,
as he handed out all kinds of things that litup for the campers. He was very much loved
and is missed here at Camp. Looking back
on E-mails brought many fond memories…
“Charlie, I hope all is well in Iowa. BOO!
Halloween is on the way! I have a bunch of
cool light-up stuff for the kids.”
Thank you to Karen and Bryce Althoff for
coming out to do a day of volunteer work
at Camp. Karen used to work at Camp and
when her son needed some volunteer hours
as part of his AmeriCorps Iowa duties, she
thought Camp would be the perfect place.

This is our story,
this is our song…
It all began back in 1977 Sheri’s junior year
of high school. In the late fall, a family in the
school district had lost their home to a fire. The
Student Council Advisor (Mr. Charlie Becker)
encouraged the student council to collect
monetary (via raffle) and food donations to help
the family in need and to make their holidays
a little brighter. What an incredible experience!
That sparked something deep within to want
to be of service to others and help those less
fortunate. Sheri’s senior year provided even
more opportunities to help others through Mr.
Becker’s teaching and example.
Over the years Sheri, Pat, and Charlie kept
in touch through Christmas cards, presentations
for Camp Courageous in the Lee Co. area, and
the Courier.
Fast forward to 2011. Sheri is now married
to Craig Lampe. They live in West Point, IA.
(Lee Co.) and they both volunteer for the West
Point fire department as EMT-I and paramedic
respectively. Craig has been driving for DOT
Foods (a grocery redistributing company) since
1996 and Sheri is working for Central Lee
Schools (where she graduated) as the school’s
piano accompanist for the choirs 6-12, show
choirs, band, and vocal ensembles and contests.
She also gives piano, guitar, and band lessons.
Even with separate and very busy schedules
they wanted to go to camp to volunteer. In
August of 2011 they took a week of vacation
and accompanied two high school students to
volunteer at camp.
This was a huge life-changing experience for
Craig, and a dream come true for Sheri. That fall
they again returned to camp with two students
Big thanks to Jaimie
Carpenter
for
volunteering as a
counselor for three
weeks this summer.
Jaimie is from nearby
Olin, IA and has
wanted to volunteer at
Camp for a few years
now. We are certainly
glad it worked for
her to come help out
this summer. Thanks
again, Jaimie!
with donations. After visiting with Charlie, the
offer was given to be permanent volunteers.
Sheri continued to volunteer on Christmas
break from school for the next two years and
both of them again the next summer when they
decided it was time to make the move, but it was
still a ways down the road. They both continued
on in their present jobs for another year for Sheri
and 1 ½ for Craig. Finally, the packing began
and the house went up for sale. By the end of
April 2014 the Lampes moved into the “Old
Brick School House” along with their 8 year old
chocolate lab, Sammy Hershey.
Craig & Sheri both say “This is the best thing
we have ever done! We love it here!”
To rephrase the song by Phillip Phillips , yes
we “Have made this place our home!”
Editors Note: Craig & Sheri Lampe have
been one of the best things to happen to Camp
Courageous. They are two extremely dedicated and
hard working individuals. They have opened many
new doors for Camp and they have absorbed hours
and hours worth of work. They are willing to do
anything for Camp, at any hour of any day. Camp
Courageous is very fortunate to have the Lampe’s
as part of the Camp Family. They are exceptional!

Week at Camp Courageous.

...I met Amber at camp last year, and
she is just a great young lady. I’m
sure you are very proud of her. As
a Lion, and a father, I know how we
pass things along to our children,
our friends, and those that we serve.
Which is the Lions motto. My wife,
Sue and I have been a part of Camp
Courageous for many years. When
we, as Lions, became associated
with the Visually Impaired camp week,
it became much more meaningful to
us. Amber and I both have a love of
music. So, last year, I told her if I got
to come back to camp this year, that
I’d bring my guitar along and play
back up to her piano. She is a real
whiz at that. I had a really great time
today, and you can tell her that for
me. She mastered the Burma Bridge
today, and really loved the petting the
horse and the donkey.
Thank you to the hard working youth from
Notre Dame Parish in Cresco, Iowa and
their adult leaders Melanie Krivachek and
Josh Stika. This group really work hard and
were willing to do anything we asked of them.
A big thank you to the Cedar Rapids Lodge
No. 251 of the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks for their wonderful donation to
Camp Courageous! (L-R) Thank you to Rich
David, Inner Guard, John O'Connor, Trustee;
Becky Karr, Exalted Ruler; and Marcia David,
Lodge Esquire. It was a wonderful evening
visiting with many camp friends.
Stu Davidson, his
dad, DuWayne, and
their families really
pour their hearts into
obtaining hundreds
of items for the
Pineapple
Gala.
Good friends of Tom
and Barb Eggleston,
along with Georgia
Johnson, they have
strived to make up
for the loss of Tom
and Barb. Needless
to say, Tom and Barb
would be very proud!

Thank you to this wonderful group of
volunteers who came out to help as part of
“Service for Service.” A program at local
churches that encourages members of the
congregation to get out in the community
after church to help out. The group included
camp’s Nursing Director, Sharon Roller, and
past board president, Winnie Williams. The
group worked very hard and accomplished
a lot.
Phil and Laura White of Marion spent a
morning beautifying camp. They worked in
the flower beds by nursing and they now
look fabulous! Phil and Laura’s daughter,
Rachel, has been coming to camp over 20
years. What a wonderful couple!
Thank you to Lori Raleigh and the Rescue
group from Cedar Rapids for inviting camp
over for a program and for their future visit
to camp. Many are Camp Courageous
campers!
Big thanks to Amy Shoemaker and this
great group of volunteers who came all
the way from Omaha, NE to volunteer at
Camp for an afternoon. Amy used to bring
her special education students to camp for
the day when she taught in Cedar Rapids.
So she wanted the youth from Presbyterian
Church of the Cross to learn about Camp
and lend a hand.

Thanks go out to another great group of
nursing students from Clarke University in
Dubuque for coming to volunteer as respite
counselors. These students get to have a
fun learning experience and more campers
get to attend respite because they are here
to help. Special thanks to instructors Kris
Teirnan and Jeremiah Smith.
This wonderful group made the trek here
all the way from Cottage Grove, MN (Twin
Cities). Pictured are (L-R) Ken Huber, Jan
Huber, Tracy Larsen, Pastor Bryan Olsen,
Kristina Prinbnow and Josh Pedersen. They
are from the UCC church and located Camp
Courageous through a volunteer website to
help non-profits. What a great bunch! Thank
you Cottage Grove UCC!
Camp is fortunate to once again host an
AmeriCorps NCCC team this fall. The team,
Maple 8, will work as counselors, which will
enable many adult campers who had been
on the waiting list to come to camp. Team
members include front row (L-R) Team

Iowa and Wisconsin met at Camp
Courageous for a tour. Thank you to Lyn
and Bill Wagner and Mary and Jim Rettig for
stopping by and seeing camp first hand!
We were happy to have this hard working
group from First Presbyterian in Beaver City,
Nebraska back this year! In addition to all
of the effort and elbow grease they gave
Camp, the youth decided to use the money
they would normally use for an evening of
fun and entertainment as a donation to the
campership fund.

Students attending this year’s Back-ToSchool festival enjoyed rides on the the
camp’s Funwagon. The weather was
perfect to enjoy a nice ride around Camp
Courageous and see the new Lake Todd.
…and the Quad City Morning Optimist
Club for volunteering a day at Camp and
presenting wonderful donations. These
groups always take on our toughest
jobs. Super groups!
Camp Courageous would like to thank Jared
and Carol Hills for inviting us to give a program
to the Chada Pautz Fellowship of the Asbury
United Methodist Church in Cedar Rapids.
Our friend Leo Greco performed often for
this group so we knew it was going to be a
good one. Great fellowship and great food!

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 6,500 campers today,
is the incredible dedication of volunteers. Volunteer
help is needed in every aspect of the camp. Please
consider volunteering your time and talents to Camp
Courageous.
Where is Camp Courageous located?
The camp is located five miles south of Monticello, Iowa off
Highway 38 or 151. The camp lies on 200 acres of wooded land
surrounded by thousands of acres of state primitive land and
the Maquoketa River. Use US Highway 151 (exit 65), turn south
IOWA(all hard-surfaced roads).
on Hwy 38, then east on 190th Street
