Courageous Community Services’ mission is to provide meaningful, inclusive opportunities for individuals with disabilities and their families through advocacy, education, and engaging recreational experiences.
Since the first session in 1965, our camp has met or exceeded the expectations of thousands of individuals with special needs and their family members throughout Northwest Ohio. On average, we welcome between 150-250 campers each summer.
Courageous Acres is more than just a summer camp. It is a community and a home away from home where so many can be their best selves, connect to nature, develop friendships, and explore various recreational opportunities. Our top priority summer after summer is the physical and emotional well-being of everyone who comes through our gates.
Courageous Community Services makes outdoor recreation accessible for everyone.
In 1963, Camp Courageous began to ensure children and young adults with disabilities had an opportunity to attend summer camp. The staff, board members, and numerous volunteers continue to build upon the original foundation formed many years ago and develop new opportunities as the community expresses its needs.
Courageous Community Services now provides life skills training curricula, self-advocacy training, inclusive community-building activities, and mentoring to families.
There is more fun than ever at Courageous Acres. Campers from 5 to 85 of all abilities can enjoy outdoor programs with Metroparks Toledo, educational programs with Nature’s Nursery, and yoga with Ordinary Pioneer Yoga along with swimming, arts and crafts, and guided painting lessons.
Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
