Camp Courageous (Iowa)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Camp Courageous is a year-round therapedic camp located in Monticello for Iowa-area people of all ages with various disabilities.

[edit] History

The camping retreat was established in 1972 after 40 acres of land was donated for the sole purpose of establishing a camp for the disabled and much of the buildings that were built were from donated labor and materials. Two years later, the camp was opened and the first 211 campers arrived. To this day, the camp is open year-round with various activities such as archery, arts & crafts, canoeing, fishing, hiking, and other sporting activities.
