Square Dance Benefit at Camp Courageous

Square dancers from across eastern Iowa will be gathering at Camp Courageous in Monticello on Sunday.

The East Central Federation and Cedar Valley Callers Association will sponsor the 35th Annual Square Dance Benefit for Camp Courageous.  The calling begins at 1:30 p.m. and ends at 4 p.m. in the Camp Courageous Sill Barn.

Callers and cuers from all over eastern Iowa and the surrounding areas are invited.  Dance clubs as well as individuals and couples are welcome to enjoy the afternoon dancing and visiting the camp.  Tours will be available for anyone interested in seeing all that camp has to offer.  Admission is a free-will donation to camp.  Participants are asked to bring cookies or a snack to share.  Beverages are provided.

Camp Courageous is a year-round recreational, respite and travel program for individuals of all ages with disabilities.  The camp was built and continues to operate on donations, without government support, without formal sponsorship, and without paid fundraisers. Camp Courageous serves nearly 10,000 individuals with disabilities annually.
