Fun at Summer Camp
by camper Nathan Keninger
The start of camp is on a warm day in June.
We drive to Monticello and get there around noon.
We drive down a lane and meet a man.
The man helps us unload my bags from our van.
We meet with my counselor and go to
the meeting place.
I look around trying to find a familiar face.
I am happy when my friends arrive,
so we talk late into the night.
We rise when we see the early morning light.
Our first activity of the week is the super-zip.
Since the path to get there is on a hill,
I hope I don’t tip.
We dance into the night by the light of the moon,
And we go to bed because we are going home soon.
We rise to an early flag raising and a
late morning snack.
Since we are going home soon,
our counselors help us pack.
When we say good-bye to our friends,
some may shed a tear,
Because we won’t be together until camp next year.

CAMP
COURAGEOUS
Future dormitory proposed for 2007-08
Even though Camp Courageous is
located in one of the most beautiful
locations, the Pictured Rocks area of
the Indian Bluffs State Primitive and
the Maquoketa River, and it has over
a dozen beautiful facilities from a huge
lodge to a wonderful indoor pool, it
has been and always will be the staff
that makes Camp Courageous the
success that it is.
Camp Courageous recruits the
very best staff. They come from
throughout the world, some working
on internships, some with the summer
off from special education teaching,
and some just willing to donate a
year or two of their lives to Camp
Courageous. They believe in the mission and the joy that comes with providing
this experience to those that are so grateful and their families.
Currently staff is housed in a somewhat primitive dormitory situation. It is the
goal of the camp to build a facility that will house 20 year-round program staff,
where each staff person will have their own room, with their own bathroom,
desk, bed, and more. Often times staff, when on cabin duty, can be up for over
24 hours… when rest is so important, being in your own room, makes a world
of difference to one’s health and well-being.
Camp Courageous is a year-round recreational and respite care facility for
individuals with disabilities. Run on donations, with no government assistance,
no formal sponsorship, and no one paid to raise funds for the camp; over 5,000
campers with special needs experience Camp Courageous each year.

The Nathan Keninger Family makes memorial
donation to assist in purchase of medical lifts
Muscular Dystrophy camper, Nathan
Keninger of Iowa Falls, passed away in
December of 2006 due to complications
of Duchene’s Muscular Dystrophy. In
addition to family--camp counselors, staff
and the many campers who became his
friends during his 12 summers at camp
will remember him fondly.
Regina Keninger, Nathan’s mother,
recalls how Nathan was tearful when he
was dropped off his first summer. The
following summers he would not want
to leave his new friends at the end of
the week. Nathan’s past counselors said
he enjoyed many of the camp activities,
but mostly enjoyed socializing with the
friends he made. Nathan will be greatly
missed by all who knew him.
Every summer when it was time to get
ready for camp, Nathan would begin to
be apprehensive if his counselor would
know how to best care for him. Like
many campers with Muscular Dystrophy,
Nathan was completely reliant on his
counselors to care for his day-to-day
needs. When the Keninger family heard
about camp’s need for mechanical lifts
to assist complete-care-campers, like
Nathan, the family did not hesitate to
jump in and raise money. They know
first hand, the importance of the feeling
of safety and security when Nathan was
being transferred from wheelchair to bed.
Thanks to the Keninger’s efforts, camp
has raised enough money for at least 2 of
the 5 lifts needed. Another of Nathan’s
friends, Jerry Ackerman, President and
Owner of JVA Mobility has pledged to
purchase a lift and slings for camp.
In 2006, the nursing staff treated
an increasing number of counselors
due to injuries caused by transferring
non-ambulatory campers from bed to
wheelchair. Camp currently has one
outdated mechanical lift that needs to be
replaced. It is most beneficial to campers
and counselors to have a lift located in
each cabin and one in the pool for easy
access. These mechanical lifts will be
of most help to camp by reducing the
number of staff injuries due to lifting,
reduce time off for injury, as well as
increase the quality of care provided to
non-ambulatory campers.
These lifts cost thousands of dollars
and the camp’s goal is unattainable
without help. Would you join me in
donating money in Nathan’s honor to
put a mechanical lift in each cabin and
the pool at camp for easy access for
campers and counselors? Items still
needed are: 2 additional lifts (one with
a 500 lb capacity), slings for each lift in
various sizes, extra batteries, and cost of
shipping. With donations of $5 to $20
dollars, our goal will be quickly met!
Thanks for your continued support of
Camp Courageous of Iowa!
Amanda Gaworski, RN
Assistant Nursing Director
Pictured is a Power Lift w-Low Base 450 Lbs by
Invacare that is being purchased with the funds
raised by the Keninger family. It is a battery
powered lift that includes 2 batteries and
charger. Slings will be purchased to go along
with the lift.
Gifts of any amount are appreciated… along with gifts of material and
labor to build this structure that is so key to the continued success of Camp
Courageous.

Harold White started his work at
Camp Courageous as a volunteer in the
1980s. He was a huge help through the
fastest growth of the camp in the 1990s
and was a part of the building of almost
every new building.
Harold had an unmatched honesty...
if camp was selling pencils for a nickel,
and Harold felt they were worth a dime,
he would pay the dime. He always
had the staff and campers foremost
on his mind...making sure everything
was super clean, sanitary, and done
right. When there was concern that
the wood floor on the second story
of Menster Cabin caused excessive
noise for the campers who slept below,
Harold personally paid to have the
second floor carpeted. Harold was
not paid exceptionally over the years,
but he was among the camp’s staff top
one or two donors in the history of
camp. He was always there to backup his opinions with his personal gifts.
Harold provided the paint and supplies
in memory of his son to build the
climbing wall in the camp gym. When
equipment was needed in the laundry,
he donated a new washer and dryer and
hundreds of dollars in laundry soap.
He donated a $500 drinking fountain
when he saw the need. Harold and
Patricia also donated pool blocks.
Harold has a heart of gold. He
would give the shirt off his back to
help someone in need and he often
did. Harold’s strong desire has always
been to do what is right and a desire to
do a job to the best of his ability. His
integrity and willingness to put his own
money behind his desire to have things
done right will be missed and long
remembered.
We wish Harold and Patricia a
wonderful retirement!

The Cedar Rapids Covette
Club Wins Eagle One
“Golden Rule” Award For
Community Service
Turning their passion for cars into
compassion for others has earned
The Cedar Rapids Corvette Club
the prestigious Eagle One Golden
Rule Award. The award honored the
180-member club for conducting the
most outstanding community service
program in the Midwest Region
during 2006.
“For the past 14 years, Eagle One
has been proud to recognize and
reward car clubs whose members
have demonstrated exceptional
involvement in, and support of,
community and charitable causes,
while actively engaged in the
preservation and restoration of one
of our country’s greatest historical
heritages, the automobile,” said
Cheryl Zimbrick, Director of
Marketing.
Congratulations to a wonderful
group! We look forward to seeing
you at Cruisin’ for Camp Courageous
2007! (See page 33 for Cruisin details.)
David and Carolyn Mason of Bettendorf show
one of 60 new bath towels they donated to
camp, along with a box of needed items, and
a plaque for the Visitors Center that they had
inscribed with only two words… ”Thank God”.
We are grateful to this wonderful couple who
drove through some snowy weather to deliver
these beautiful gifts. Thank you Masons!
Marginal Note: There has always been a food processor int the kitchen, but once upon a time she was usually called Mom.

“Cases for
Camp” event
with area
Fareway Stores
a success!!
Camp Courageous would like to
thank Fareway Stores in Cedar
Rapids, Dyersville, Marion,
Monticello, and North Liberty for
collecting 29 cases of food products
during Cases for Camp project.
Jim McDonough presents a check to Camp
Courageous as a result of his 2006 Holiday
Concerts. Pictured is Jim in the camp store
where his CDs are available for puchase. We
are very grateful to Jim and his support of
Camp Courageous!
In Memory of…
Larry K. Woellert, of
Manchester, Iowa, was
a correspondent for the
Cedar Rapids Gazette,
DubuqueTelegraph Herald,
Dyersville
Commercial
and was Publisher of the
Manchester Press, until
he retired in 2005. Larry
touched more lives in a
wonderful way than he
ever realized. In particular Camp Courageous
is a far better place today because Larry backed
all that the camp does, from the Manchester
Garage Sale (the camp’s largest fund raiser)
to just making folks aware of what the camp
was all about. He lent his support of the camp
through his involvement in organizations like
Lions Club. Larry was always there wanting to
know what more he could do.
Larry was a gem to his profession and will
be dearly missed by all who knew him. On
the behalf of over 5,000 campers with special
needs that Camp Courageous serves, their
families, the staff, and board, we extend our
heartfelt sympathy to Joyce and all of Larry’s
family and friends.

Wintertime at
Camp Courageous
(L-R) Counselor Cindy Gay of Waynesboro, VA
is pictured with camper Andrew Hooton of
Iowa City as they take their turn walking with
snowshoes on the fresh snow at the camp.
Camper Dennis Thompson with the Reach for
Your Potential group finds his way around the
camp with snow shoes. Dennis’ first visit to
Camp Courageous was in 1988… great to see
him back again this year.
Memorial gifts…
Camp is grateful to so many of you who
have given gifts to camp in memory of loved
ones. The cards and letters expressing the
wonderful memories, left to you by your loved
ones, has provided us the inspiration to reach
out to those in need and bring joy to their lives.
It is in the memory of your loved ones that we
dedicate ourselves to doing all that is within
our abilities, to bring true happiness to the
campers and their families served by camp.

(L-R) Honorary Board Member Ralph Palmer
recently gave a program to the Greater Cedar
Rapids Area Home Builders Association.
Executive Officer Midge Barvinek and Board
President Mike Flynn present a check to Camp
Courageous in honor of Ralph. When Ralph
gives programs throughout the world, he
donates the fee to Camp Courageous. Many
members of the Greater Cedar Rapids Area
Home Builders Association have helped Camp
Courageous over the years…and we look
forward to a continued close relationship!
CAD Skills Needed
Camp Courageous is always
growing and changing and to help
with facilities camp is looking to
create a master site map with camp’s
buildings and buried utilities. To
do this the camp is looking for
some help from the Engineering
professionals. There is the need
to survey in known items and plot
them into a CAD program. This
will help the camp meet standards
and plan for future construction.
If you can help then please contact
Greg at 319-465-5916, ext. 2500 or
E-mail greg@campcourageous.org.
Thank you to Janet Rater for inviting camp to
give a program to the Cedar Rapids PEO II. This
wonderful group of ladies was an absolute
delight. Many have been involved in camp
for years, for some it was there first experience
with Camp Courageous. It was a real treat to
spend time with these ladies. I learned a lot
from them!

Mildred Beck stands before dozens of quilts
made by the ladies of the Andrew Salem
Lutheran Church. This group has given
many hours in their labor of love for Camp
Courageous.
Thank you to Karen Thomas for giving Camp
Courageous the opportunity to present its
program to the Maquoketa Woman’s Club.
This wonderful group of ladies brought all
kinds of needed items for the camp to their
meeting. Karen Thomas is the mother of Dawn
Roe (Brad) of the Monticello Cone Shop…all
great camp supporters! A special thank you
to Mary Kay Flenker (far left) at whose home
the meeting was held… we share a love for the
same artist, Norman Rockwell.

In Memory of…
Camp Courageous’ sincere
sympathy goes out to the
family of Helen Hogan, who
passed away March 18, 2007.
I first met Helen in Dr. Earl
DeShaw’s office in Monticello
in 1980. She was Dr. DeShaw’s
long time nurse and secretary.
A very dedicated lady, she
could always be seen walking to
work, the grocery store, bank,
post office, or church. As Dr.
DeShaw transitioned from the medical profession to being
the founder of the Camp Courageous Perpetual Fund, Helen
also transitioned. There was the move from the office on
First to the office on the second floor of the DeShaw home on
Grand Street. Helen did much of the typing and bookkeeping
of the early years for the Perpetual Fund. Dr. DeShaw was
always a pusher to accomplish things, and Helen, along with
his wife, Selma, were always behind the scenes being his best
workers and supporters. Helen would send dozens of letters
and keep a meticulous card system on donors and potential
donors to the Perpetual Fund. Helen always took care of the
home front for the DeShaws when they began to spend their
winters in Arizona. After Dr. DeShaw’s death, Helen shifted
gears and continued to volunteer for camp doing many
mailings from her home. It seemed like we could never give
her too much work. Helen was a wonderful lady who touched
the lives of many in her life...more than she ever realized. She
will be dearly missed.

32nd Annual Event Opening Soon for 2007!
Manchester Garage Sale
The 32nd annual Manchester Garage Sale for Camp
Courageous is about to get underway. Just as Camp
Courageous has grown from 211 campers during the
summer of 1974 to over 5,000 campers year-round today,
so has the growth of the Manchester Garage Sale.
The Manchester Garage Sale, Camp Courageous’
largest fund raiser, is run by over 60 volunteers. From 8:
30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday and from 8:
30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, for six months out of
the year, these volunteers give of their time to run the sale
located at 913 East Main, in Manchester. The sale will
open Monday, April 30th and will remain
open until about the first
week in October. For the
six months following the
sale, volunteers work on
Manchester 
the facilities, constantly
making improvements.
The
Manchester
Garage Sale has been a
win-win situation. People who have donated their personal
items to the sale have had the opportunity to clean house,
knowing their things will go for good use. The buyer has
the opportunity to get needed items at a very reasonable
price, and the camp has obtained items they need, along
with the financial support the camp needs, since it is run
on donations.
The
Garage
Sale is led by a
very dedicated
committee. For
these ladies the
sale goes yearround, as they
are
constantly
gathering things,
washing
and
mending items,
and doing whatever they can for the betterment of Camp
Courageous. The committee includes, Marla Schiess,
Honorary Board Member Jackie Snyder, and Vera
Gienapp.

Camp Courageous is very grateful to a
wonderful anonymous couple who donated
this beautiful 1999 Ford Expedition special
edition, Eddie Bauer to camp. The vehicle
is in mint condition, from the engine to the
interior. I have never seen a vehicle in such
perfect condition. With the vehicle came a
bag of teddy bears in the back seat for the
campers! We cannot thank this wonderful
couple enough for such a great gift. With the
15-passenger vans being a thing of the past,
this vehicle could easily handle 8 or more
passengers and fills a real void.

Camp offers swim lessons
during winter season
For 12 weeks in the winter Camp Courageous
offers swimming lessons to area children.
With the warm indoor pool and cold weather
outside, it has been a popular program. These
classes are taught by camp staff, who are
American Red Cross certified. This is the 19th
year that camp has offered this program.
This year Camp Courageous added a session
of swimming lessons during the day for
children who are Home-Schooled. There was
considerable interest in this new class.
Marginal Note: Do for others with no expectation of return favors. We should all plant trees we’ll never sit under.

Thank you, Joyce Gessner!!
Dietary staff member Joyce Gessner has
retired after 12 years at Camp Courageous.
Her wonderful bakery talents will be greatly
missed. Joyce will be spending time with
husband Marvin and family, gardening,
and sewing. Thank you Joyce for all your
dedication and caring to campers and staff.
Pictured at Joyce’s retirement gathering are

Spring-Time
Opportunities for
Volunteering
Spring is upon us and the maintenance
department is busy gearing up for the
summer. Last year camp had great help
from volunteers with mowing, general
repairs and planting of the flower gardens.
This year the camp will again be looking
for volunteers to assist in these areas. If
you are the type of person that just wants
to get out and lend a helping hand for a
few hours, a day, a week or longer, then
camp has tasks for you. As you have
seen in past Couriers, the camp has been
assisted by a great crew of volunteer
electricians that are able to help when
needed. The camp is looking to add a
group of volunteer plumbers. If you or
a group of friends would be able to give
camp a helping hand just let us know by
calling Greg at 319-465-5916, ext. 2500
or E-mail greg@campcourageous.org.

Dear Charlie Becker!
I would just like to let you know that Tami
Peck has gone above and beyond for my
children, Paige and Jamie Etten. My children
have taken swimming lessons at Camp
Courageous for the last 2 years. I have been
very happy with the care they have received
from your staff. My mother-in-law, Mary Etten,
has been taking water aerobics at camp as well.
Occasionally my kids have gone with Mary and
played in the pool during her class.
On Friday, December 29th, Mary and my
children came to camp to attend the water
aerobics class. Apparently, Mary was the only
attendee. Tami told her it would be ok to swim
with the kids in the time allotted for the class.
Mary stated that Tami could not just sit there
and watch them all swim, she jumped in with
them. Tami worked one on one with both of
my children. Mary said she was fantastic! She
gave my kids encouragement and advice to get
them to swim across the pool, to back float,
to do everything they needed to do in order
to pass Level 2. That was a tremendous feat
for my kids. They are so proud of themselves,
not to mention how proud their father and I
am of them. Tami has really gone out of her
way to teach my children the fundamentals
of swimming, not to mention building their
self confidence! I cannot say enough good
things about her. Thanks to her one-on-one
care, they are now signed up for level 3. I
have always understood the importance of
Camp Courageous and supported you through
the many fundraisers held at the camp and
throughout the community. I never thought
my children would reap some of the wonderful
benefits your staff gives to children.
Please know that Camp Courageous is lucky
to have Tami as an employee. She obviously
loves her job and in turn goes out of her way
to help people. Please be sure and give her the
recognition she deserves.
Thank you for all that you do!
Sincerely,
Lindsy Etten

Nearly 100 campers and 50 facility staff braved the frigid temps to ‘take a mean hip’ and celebrate
this favorite holiday. The winners of the dance contest went home with prizes, such as a new
jacket, stuffed animals, flashlights, and more! Below are some of the contest winners.

FLASHBACK - 1988
This photo was taken during the 1988
Cruisin’ for Camp Courageous event
when it was held in downtown Cedar
Rapids, Iowa. That year happened to
include a special concert performance
by the 1960’s group Jan and Dean.
(L-R) Pictured are Jan Berry, KCRG
personalities Ramey Becker and Bruce
Aune, and Dean Torrence. Get info on the
2007 Cruisin’ event on page 33.
Camp Courageous of Iowa would like to
introduce you to our newest member on the
maintenance staff. Cheryl Hunt of Monticello
will be working the laundry area of camp.
Welcome Cheryl!!
IRAs and Charity
Recently, Congress OK’d direct
contributions from IRAs to charity. In 2006
and 2007, owners at least age 70.5 can
donate up to $100,000 a year from their
retirement accounts, and the gifts count
toward the owner’s required minimum
distribution. One gets no deduction, but
does get a tax break because the money
is not included in one’s taxable income,
as it would be if one withdrew funds.
Not only is this simpler than taking a
distribution, giving the money to charity
and then claiming a deduction, but it also
can save money if including the payout in
one’s income would squeeze tax breaks,
such as the value of personal exemptions
and itemized deductions, that phase out
as income rises. Note that to qualify for
the break, one can not give the money
to a donor-advised fund or a supporting
private foundation. As always, consult a
tax advisor for additional information.
Marginal Note: Children may close their ears to advice, but they keep their eyes open to example.

AUDITS, INSPECTIONS, AND CERTIFICATIONS AT CAMP COURAGEOUS
Since 1980 an outside financial
accounting and auditing firm, who
comes to camp for several weeks and
goes through everything, has audited the
Camp Courageous financial books. Over
the years the IRS has also come to audit
the camp’s financial books. It is the
camp’s goal to do everything by the
letter-of-the-law. The various audits have
confirmed Camp Courageous’ way of
doing business.
Camp Courageous is also an Accredited
member of the American Camping
Association, where it has consistently
received the unheard of 100% on its
accreditation over the past couple
decades. This full day evaluation covers
all aspects of the camp from program
activities, staffing, facilities, medical,
finances, etc. It has been the camp’s goal
to always achieve 100%.
The
Department
of
Natural
Resources inspects and reviews camp’s
water and waste water weekly. Camp
Congratulations to Mrs. P. a Nine-Who-Care
Award Recepient. With her at the award
ceremony were Mrs. P’s family, Mike Ivins,
Ramona Ivins, Ann Stahle, Luke Stahle, Steve
Nicoles (KCRG), and Grynneth Parizek (Mrs. P).
Special thank you to KCRG for having such a
wonderful program to recognize outstanding
volunteers and Karen Ultis, KCRG’s Community
Affairs Director for leading this program, John
Phelan, KCRG VP and General Manager, and to
the sponsors.
Volunteers Mrs. P. and Marvin Klebe of Lone
Tree deliver a station wagon full of needed
items for camp. We appreciate Mrs. P. using
her garage as a gathering spot for people
wanting to give things to camp!
28
tries to stay one step ahead of the rules
and regulations, before they become
the law. Thousands-of-dollars are spent
annually on testing.
The USDA and various health
departments inspect the camp’s kitchen,
food supply areas, and pool on a regular
basis. They have commented that the
Camp Courageous facilities are the best
they inspect.
All camp’s staff are constantly
provided inservice and the opportunity
to further their education, at the camp’s
expense, to keep them on the cutting
edge. This includes, for example,
required CEUs for the medical staff.
When growth in staffing has been
needed, Camp Courageous has provided
the opportunity for schooling. In some
cases, over two years of college has been
provided, to pick-up needed classes and
degrees. This has included Amanda
Gaworski, camp’s Assistant Nursing
Director and evening and respite nurse
who received her Masters in Nursing and
Healthcare Practice from the University
of Iowa and Shannon Poe, camp’s Respite
Care and Volunteer Director, who pickedup her Therapeutic Recreation Degree
from the University of Northern Iowa.
Everyone on the camp staff is certified
in Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation
and the use of the Automatic
External Defibrillators (camp has six
units). Camp’s rope course and adventure
activies go through rigourous inspection
by outside professionals.
Camp also has an exceptionally
good security system which includes
many cameras and alarms to protect
the campers, staff, and visitors against
fire and other unique situations. Camp
activities can be monitored over the
internet, from anywhere in the world.
The goal of everyone on the Camp
Courageous staff is to exceed the
expectations of the campers, parents,
donors, and the general public.

More camper photos are
available on the camp’s web
site which can be found at:
Headlamps were recently donated by Pemba
Services, Inc. of Madison, WI. These headlamps
will work great for spelunking in the spring,
summer and fall. Pictured with the lamps on
are camper Melanie Justice, counselor Tanya
Balan, campers Sheri Breedlove and Julia
Brumbaugh, and counselor Cindy Gay.
Camper Tish Harbach of Iowa City enjoys
a ride on a specialized sled. Tish has been
coming to camp since 1991 and she really
enjoyed the winter activities this year.

of Columbia, MO and Chris Delay of
Shoshoni, WY.
Marginal Note: Most people will never do great things. But they can do small things in a great way.

Making Quilts for Camp??
We are constantly asked about what size quilts
work best for the beds at Camp Courageous of
Iowa. Here is what will fit best with the camper
beds:
84” in length
64”
wide
Materials that launder best:
• Cotton
• Permanent Press
The measurements provided will fit camper
beds perfectly. The camp will get the best use
of your donation with these sizes.
Thank you! The campers enjoy the
warmth of the quilts and they make
the cabins look wonderful.
(L-R) Counselor Abe Zamora of Guadalajara,
Mexico is pictured with camper Alex Clancy
of Iowa City, Iowa. They have just finished
working on a project in the Nature Center. Alex

wanted: a few
good people
The Chicago Urban Bicycling
Society (CUBS), a big fan as well as
friend of Camp Courageous, is looking
for a few able-bodied men or women
to work as crew for our 65-member,
annual RAGBRAI trip July 22-28.
They are not the U.S. Marines, but
this job will require your undivided
attention for the entire week,
starting in the wee hours July 21 in
the Chicago suburbs. That’s where
they assemble to make their journey
across Iowa and where they officially
close the week.
The CUBS can provide housing to
help keep expenses minimal and
possibly could make other logistical
adjustments.
You would be joining an
experienced group of riders, who
do not see the crew as slave labor
and also would contribute to some
of the responsibilities of maintaining
an efficient experience for everyone.
This is their 12th RAGBRAI as a unit.
Regular crew members, who work
with a crew chief, can earn a bit over
$600 for the week. You would join
several experienced crew hands also
expected to return. Some driving
would be required and we need
people 25 years old with valid drivers’
licenses for insurance purposes.
However, there could be an opening
for someone younger.
Please contact Jerry Turry, CUBS
president.
Phone 847-675-6644
for more information or email
jerry@turry.net. In addition, please
include your current resume with
your contact information, in a Word
document, and send via email. After
review of your resume, Jerry will
contact you.
Thank
You!!

Artist donates to camp
in Godson’s name
Elizabeth Kinley, an artist
from Monticello, Iowa, is
donating a portion of her sales
to Camp Courageous in honor
of her Godson, Zachary Bollwitt.
Mention “Camp Courageous” at
the time of any purchase and a
generous percentage of the profit
will be donated to the camp in
Zach’s name.
Zachary Bollwitt is one of
so many that benefit from the
gracious and kind services
provided by Camp Courageous.
Zach has Angelman’s Syndrome, a
rare genetic disorder (read more at
www.angelman.org).
Statement from the artist: “My
brother Matt left our family
business 3 years ago to join the
staff at Camp and to be closer to
his son’s development. Our family
as a whole has always supported
the camp. What a blessing it has
been to have such a wonderful facility so close. It takes
a dedicated trained staff to make it all work… to see the
dedication of a largely volunteer crew pull together is
second to none. There are many good causes, all in need,
but picking this one was a close and easy choice.”
Items for sale are original works, Giclee’s, poster
prints, and related items, which can all be purchased at
www.elizabethbollwitt.com or by phone at 319-480-1989.
Some of these items can be viewed at the camp store.
When purchasing, please be sure to mention the camp so
that the proper donation can be made.
Style and Technique: Acrylic on Canvas is the preferred
choice for all original works. The style is pointillism…
the placing of one color on top of another while allowing
the colors underneath to closely contrast is what causes
her artwork to look bold and complementary.

country skiing activity. It was great to have
Eliana back at the camp… her first attendance
was back in 1994.
Camper Jeff Towne of Iowa City stops to pose
for a picture with his snow shoes. The snow
during this year’s winter session allowed for
campers to take advanage of the many outside
winter activities that are available at the camp.
Jeff had a great time.
Marginal Note: A well-traveled person is one who has been to almost as many places as his luggage.

(L-R) Pictured are campers Chasidy Zieser,
Karna Szczech, counselor Arienne Arment of

Camper Jeff Towne shows off his face painting
to the camera. Jeff is from Iowa City and has
been attending Camp Courageous since 2001.
Thank you to Fantasy Festival of Algonquin,
IL, Extreme Halloween of Dania, FL, and Josie
O’Kain Costume Shope of Joliet, IL for their
donations of the face paint supplies.
Camper Denny Gaupp (R) is pictured in the
camp lodge as he performs for other campers
and staff during an evening of Karaoke. Denny
is with the Reach for Your Potential group in
Iowa City and attended his first week-long
camp in 2003. It was great to see Denny back
again this winter.

Thank you for
helping keep the
dream of Camp
Courageous alive.
Thank You to All Helping
So much would not be possible without volunteers!
Thank you to all of the people that have volunteered their valuable time at the camp.
Pictured on this page, and throughout this newsletter, are just a few of the many faces that
have come to camp over the past few months to share their valuable time and energies.
Jim and Shirley Iverson of Davenport are
pulling turkey meat from bone. They did eight
20 lb. turkeys part of a large donation from
Rosebud Farm owned by her brother Norm
Brucer of Chicago area.
Edward was donated to camp by Lynn
Schaeffer, pictured above. Edward is a mature
horse with lots of experience in the ring. He
is just what camp has been looking for and
should be thrilling campers for a long time to.
We are very excited with what Edward brings to
our program.
This is the first group of University of Iowa
Physical Therapy graduate students to
volunteer for respite care weekends. They have
been a tremendous help with campers.
Frederic fills a big hole here at Camp. With Fred
we can ride more campers who, for one reason
or another, were not able to in the past. He is
big and strong and he is trained to pull a cart.
Fred is very much the gentle giant. He has great
personality and is a joy to be around. Teresa
Mulhausen , pictured above, brought Fred
and his cart to us. Teresa’s son Ryan has been
a camper for many years and enjoys our travel
program.
“A volunteer is not paid, not because they are worthless, but
because they are priceless.”
— Mimi Hull
Needed: Visitor’s Center Volunteers
An exciting new volunteer position is currently being developed at Camp Courageous. We are searching
for “young at heart” individuals to volunteer in the new Visitors Center. No special skills are needed other
than the desire to welcome others to learn more about the dream that is Camp Courageous. Work just an
hour or two, or all day… flexible hours and days! Please consider sharing your time and talents.
If you are interested in helping in the Visitors Center then call Becky Melchert at 319-465-5916 ext. 2130.
Marginal Note: Happiness is like honey—you can pass it around but some of it will stick to you.

St. Columbkille School in
Dubuque selects camp
for year-long project
The staff and students of St.
Columbkille School in Dubuque has
selected Camp Courageous as their
2006-07 school year project. They
have been exceptional! This all started
last year when the students donated
money from their school store to camp.
Special thanks to Jennie Weber, School
Counselor, for leading the project
and to Laura and Jim Mulgrew, along
with Mulgrew Oil, for being major
sponsors of this partnership. Mulgrew
Oil purchased t-shirts that have a large
triangle on them with “St. Columbkille”
“Mulgrew Oil” and “Camp Courageous”
at each of the points and “Making the
Connection” under it.
St. Columbkille School had a “Dress Down
for Camp Courageous” day on January 19
Students brought items such as shaving
cream, school glue, hand sanitizer, fine point
Sharpie markers. Thank you again to the
students and staff of St. Columbkille School!

Even though Camp Courageous has no staff paid to raise funds, no development
directors, etc… it is camp’s goal to plant the seeds about the good that is being
done at Camp Courageous through all the camp’s staff and volunteers and hope
that those seeds will grow in the future. Camp Courageous does have access to
some of the finest development professionals, attorneys, and accountants who
volunteer their time to help camp...when help is needed.

How can you or your group help?
Opportunities to Help Camp Courageous of Iowa
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 or MasterCard). 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.
Needs List (Page 5)
Camp Courageous appreciates all donations of
items that can be used at the camp. Further, the
camp maintains a list of specific items that are
needed by the various departments at camp. You
can view the camp’s needs list in this newsletter. You
can also view an updated list on the camps web site
at www.campcourageous.org.
Camp has been fortunate to have so many people donating needed items. These photos from
the camp’s archives are just a couple of the many showing car-loads of items collected. So
many times it was impossible to completely close the hatch. Cookies, arts and crafts items,
quilts… we were grateful then, and continue to be today, for donations like these.
Program Specialists Dormitory Plaque
Volunteering
Currently staff is housed in a somewhat primitive
dormitory situation. It is the goal of the camp to build
a facility that will house 20 year-round program staff,
where each staff person will have their own room, with
their own bathroom, desk, bed, and more. Often times
staff, when on cabin duty, can be up for over 24 hours.
When rest is so important, being in your own room
makes a world of difference.
You can help with this project by purchasing a
plaque for $1,000. Your name, or the wording of your
choice, will appear on the plaque in the dorm. 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
E-mail at charlie@campcourageous.org.

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.
Pool Blocks
The Camp Courageous indoor pool was built one
block at a time. Over the past few years it has become
one of the more popular activities for the campers. You
can help support this activity by buying a pool block
for $1,000. Your name, or the wording of your choice,
will be put on the block as a lasting reminder of your
gift to the camp.
Use the donation form on the back page of this
newsletter to purchase your pool block. For more
information about the pool blocks you can contact

Board Member Jackie Snyder (pictured in right photo above) continues to keep things going
along with her great crew. We can’t say enough about how much these volunteer work for
