A Long History and Passionate and Involved Alumi
Camp Stephens has a long history and many passionate and involved alumi who keep in touch and are supportive of the camp. They share experiences, memories and participate in camp intiatives. They are a huge part of the Camp Stephens spirit.

Facebook Update
“I spent a good deal of time going through the photos and comments on all three of the Stephens-related sites. It is truly an amazing collection of faces portraying the impact that the YM/YWCA through the venue of Camp Stephens and the Wilderness program has had on the lives of thousands of young people.
“I can hardly wait for the work that Lynda MacIntosh is doing with the Stephens’ archives to be displayed in some official manner.
“I want to thank the people who made the effort to put these sites on Facebook. It has created a tremendous opportunity for many of us to connect to old friends.” – Punch Jackson
There are now more than 900 photos posted on two Facebook group sites; the Camp Stephens Alumni Carbon Dating Society and the Camp Stephens 50th. Trail Anniversary (2013). Additional photos of the 1976 trip are posted on the Trail anniversary page. You can sign up to Facebook in about two minutes, depending on your connection speed.
Alumni Work Weekend – DATES TBA
The weekend is an annual event the second week of September. Everyone works hard, but for some reason it doesn’t feel like work.
You
The Camp Stephens newsletter is open to all alumni, from way back when to more recent times. I’m just one person. There are plenty of tales to tell. All of you are welcome to tell them. Just send me your stories and ideas, and we’ll go from there.
Don’t let me hog the puck. Please.
If you have current e-mails of alumni, please forward them to me. And feel free to pass on this newsletter to others.
The more the merrier and the greater chance someone else will buy the next round.
Cheers, Bruce Owen (campstephensalumni@yahoo.ca)
