11th Annual Mickey’s Camp for men!
Mickey's Camp was the long-time dream of local businessman Mickey Maurer. In 2001, this dream came true with the inaugural Mickey's Camp. In the past ten years, Mickey's Camp enabled adults to leave behind daily pressures, explore new opportunities, perfect old skills and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow campers in a relaxed, informal atmosphere.
 Last year more than 130 men attended the 10th annual men's camp. The women's and men's camps combined to raise more than $250,000 for 144 local charities. This year we are proud to present an extraordinary array of experts for the 11th Annual Mickey's Camp, scheduled for August 17-19, at Bradford Woods Outdoor Center.
Your time will be filled with exciting 90-minute sessions throughout Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Options include gourmet cooking, poker, politics, NASA Adventures, canoeing, billiards and so much more. You may also relax around the pool, have a massage or read a good book. Evening activities promise to be equally enjoyable as you will have the opportunity to engage in dialogue with Senator Dan Coats, dine on delicious cuisine provided by Sullivan's Steakhouse and Scholars Inn, play in a poker tournament, eat s'mores around the campfire or turn the lights out early and rest up for another exciting day at camp. This year, other sponsored meals include: Great Cooks & Company, Harry & Izzy's and Outback Steakhouse.
Read on to learn about what's in store for you at Mickey's Camp. Sign up soon; reservations will be held on a first come, first served basis.

FEATURED GUEST SPEAKER
 Senator Dan Coats
Dan Coats returned to the U.S. Senate in January 2011 to focus on cutting wasteful spending, reducing the national debt and promoting a pro-growth economic policy to put Hoosiers and Americans back to work. Senator Coats has dedicated much of his life to serving Indiana and the nation in a variety of roles. After graduating from Wheaton College, Coats served in the U.S. Army. Following his military service, Coats attended Indiana University School of Law where he received his J.D. and was associate editor of the Indiana Law Review. He worked for a life insurance company in Fort Wayne before joining the office of then-Congressman Dan Quayle as a district representative.
From 1981 to 1999, Coats served in the United States Congress, first in the House of Representatives and then in the Senate. While in Congress, Coats promoted policies to lower taxes, reduce spending and reform entitlement programs. He also served on the Senate Armed Services Committee and Select Committee on Intelligence where he worked on ways to strengthen our national defense and security.
In keeping with a term-limits pledge he made to Hoosiers, Coats stepped down from his Senate seat in 1999. After leaving the Senate, he worked in the private sector and in 2001, Coats was named Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Germany, arriving there only three days before the tragic events of September 11, 2001. As Ambassador, Coats played a critical role in establishing robust relations with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and in the construction of a new United States Embassy in the heart of Berlin.
In the 112th Congress, Coats serves on four Senate committees: Appropriations, Select Intelligence, Energy and Natural Resources and the Joint Economic Committee (JEC.) On the JEC and Senate Appropriations Committee, Coats will have the opportunity to push for spending cuts and fiscal restraint. As a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, he will work on initiatives to strengthen our national security and protect Americans from terrorist threats. Senator Coats also will serve on the Senate Energy Committee where he will advocate for a responsible comprehensive energy approach to help reduce our nation's dependence on foreign oil.
