Pacesetters Youth Campers help Camp Courageous

Thanks to this hard working bunch from Pacesetters Youth Camp. Pacesetters is a leadership program sponsored by Yellowbook and the United Way of East Central Iowa. The kids in this group were very energetic and helpful. They spent a very hot day moving firewood for the campers when they cookout and campout and we never heard a complaint. The kids also select camp as the recipient of a great load of donations!
