Historic Nature of Camp Courageous

Taken around 1981, this video features Ross Ludeman and Paul Acorn, leaders of the Community Presbyterian Church Youth Group of Clarendon Hills, IL. Their connection to Camp Courageous began with the construction of the playground area in approximately 1976. Since then, they have remained deeply involved with Camp for nearly 50 years—transitioning from hands-on construction projects to serving as counselors. Some of their early and impactful contributions included building a ropes course, a Burma Bridge, a staff dormitory, and many other lasting additions that continue to benefit campers to this day.
