Garage sale benefits Camp Courageous

     The Second Annual Camp Courageous Winter Garage Sale opened Dec. 4 for business. Just as Camp Courageous has grown from 211 campers served during the summer of 1974 to over 7,000 individuals served with special needs year-round today, so has the Camp Courageous Winter Garage Sale, held in the camp’s heated main lodge.

     The sale will remain open until Feb. 22. Hours are Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The sale is run with the help of many dedicated volunteers. During the months the store is open, the staff and volunteers are constantly busy accepting donations, sorting, pricing, and displaying items, along with making sales. They also collect items off the camp’s needs list, for the camp.

     The Winter Camp Courageous Garage Sale is a win-win situation. People who donate their personal items to the sale have the opportunity to clean house, and know their things will go for good use. The buyer has the opportunity to get needed items at a very reasonable price, and the camp obtains items it needs, along with much needed financial support.
