Our Charities

The following charity is provided on-going yearly support by other Cedar Rapids Corvette Club fund raising activities such as providing Corvettes for homecoming parades of more than 20 schools in the local area. 

Camp Courageous is a year-round recreational and respite care facility for individuals with disabilities.  The camp started serving campers with special needs during the summer of 1974 and they totaled 211 campers.  Today the camp is open year-round and the campers have totaled over 5,000 annually.  Campers have ranged in age from less than a year to 105 years of age.  Camp Courageous is run purely on donations with no government funding, no formal sponsorship (not a part of another organization), and no one is paid to raise money for the camp.  Through organizations like the Cedar Rapids Corvette Club, Camp Courageous is able to reach out to many campers and their families.

Camp Courageous is located at 12007 190th ST (also referred to as the Camp Courageous Road) Monticello, IA 52310.
