Dean Kramer (Sno-Go) Sand Springs, Passes - For nearly 35-years, Dean Kramer (co-owner of Sno-Go with his brother, Rick), have been providing Camp Courageous all the salt it has needed for the harsh Iowa winters, thus protecting the campers, staff, and public from slips and falls due to snow and ice. These donations have saved the Camp tens-of thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, Dean Kramer, 74, of Sand Springs has passed away on his 42nd wedding anniversary. Dean and his incredible family have played a huge role in the history of Camp Courageous. Camp’s sympathy goes out to family and friends.

Twila Griffith’s Donation To The Camp Courageous Foundation, Is a Beautiful Legacy To Her & Her Late Husband, Daryl Griffith. - It was a wonderful treat to have Twila Griffith and Doug Daubenberger recently visit Camp Courageous! Both are widowed from wonderful spouses. Doug’s roots are in Quasqueton. Twila is from Dubuque. Twila’s husband, Daryl Griffith was my exceptional Earth Science teacher. Mr. Griffith was ahead of his time, with Earth Day just starting when I was in his class in 1970. I told Twila, I wasn’t an ‘A’ student, but from the inspiration of Mr. Griffith came solar panels at Camp Courageous, saving the Camp over $120,000/year and in my personal life, where solar panels power everything. In the addition of planting of thousands of trees, most from seedlings…most at a rate 250-trees/year at Camp and home. The Griffiths have been long time supporters of Camp Courageous and Doug had heard so much about the Camp from Tait Cummins and Leo Greco on WMT. -Charlie
