Camp Stephens~One Hundred Years Young




In the summer of 1991 camp director Bob Picken took on a little project -- a sort of time capsule to mark camp's 100th anniversary.

Over the course of the summer Bob had campers and staff write a few words of what camp meant to them and then collected each of the letters in a blue binder.



Bob still has the binder. He's bringing it to the 125th this weekend.

He recently scanned it so that if you can't make it to the island to celebrate the 125th anniversary, you can download your own copy.

Here's one of the entries below:
