May 15th, 2012 Thanks to Deanna Licht and the Senior High Fellowship group from Zion UCC in Lowden Iowa for spending a day at camp. The group came on their day off from school to help with spring clean-up in the woods at camp. They moved a lot of brush and eradicated a lot of garlic mustard.
May 14th, 2012 The camp’s sympathy goes out to the family and friends of Rich Muszynski. Rich and his family were loyal supporters of the camp for years.
Rich was a person who always put the needs of others first. He later became an inspiration to many of us, as he battle illness for nearly two decades. He was gracious in what he was dealt. Rich had the philosophy of, “do it right, and do it right away…” maybe knowing his time was limited.
Rich Muszynski was a character. He loved a good joke, and could remember and deliver a joke. Rich asked that his memorials go to Camp Courageous. Rich’s legacy lives on in the wonderful people he leaves behind, particularly his wife, Ruth Ann; daughter, Lisa; and son, Chad.
May 14th, 2012 Once again, Karri Parrot had her annual holiday party. She requested no gifts, but instead, a donation of needed items for Camp Courageous. Her friends really came through! Karri and Brett Zuck traveled to camp to deliver the items and do a little shopping in the camp store. (Check out Brett’s new hat!) Brett has been coming to camp for many years.
May 10th, 2012 Bill Smith (R) and his mother Dorothy (L), accepted a check for $1000.00 to Camp Courageous from the H.J. Heinz Company, Dorothy has worked in the Camp Courageous nursing department for many years.
May 6th, 2012 An incredible day was had by campers during the 7th Annual Hawkeye Tailgate for Camp Courageous. Members of the University of Iowa football team, coaches, and staff met with campers and their families.
For many, it was the chance of a lifetime to meet with Hawkeye players and coaches. Campers walked away with autographs and huge smiles. Thank you to the sponsors that helped make this day possible, which are Martin Bros. , Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Stores of Iowa, Kum & Go, and Gilcrest Jewett Lumber. A BIG THANK YOU to the University of Iowa for their assistance with this event.
