History
Camp Courageous was founded in 1963 when there were no camps in the local area that would accept children with developmental disabilities. The founding families spent countless man hours building a safe and accessible camp not only for their own children but for anyone with a disability. The founders took great pride in all their accomplishments and we strive to employ staff and counselors that will carry on the enjoyment and traditions that have been instilled.
