6. What is True Friends relationship to Courage Center and Camp Courage?

As of 2012, Camp Courage and Camp Courage North are no longer part of Courage Center but are instead part of the nonprofit organization True Friends

True Friends is the nonprofit organization that owns and operates Camp Courage, Camp Courage North, Camp Friendship, and Camp Eden Wood. True Friends provides a variety of programs for children and adults with disabilities. Courage Center owned and operated Camp Courage and Camp Courage North for about 57 years. In 2012, Courage Center merged with Sister Kenny Rehabilitation Institute, now called Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute.

The Courage Camps were acquired by the nonprofit organization Friendship Ventures. At the time Friendship Ventures owned and operated two camp locations serving individuals with disabilities (Camp Friendship and Camp Eden Wood) so the acquisition of the Courage Camps was a natural fit. After the acquisition of the Courage Camps by Friendship Ventures, the organization changed its name to True Friends.
