WINTER 2021 • Volume 47, Issue 1
3,264 campers served in 2020!
It's been a challenging year for so many, especially for the campers that annually attend Camp Courageous. The
camp tried to reach out to many, with visits from small groups that were already isolating together, to virtual
gatherings through Zoom and Facebook. Many signed up for the Camper Boxes that included fun activities.
Camp tried to provide a little bit of normalcy in a very abnormal world.
