campsites on Town Island as part of its overnight tripping experiences. These
trips serve to introduce younger campers to overnight camping and help them to
gain independence and a sense of freedom, feel a sense of accomplishment,
experience nature and appreciate its natural state. These overnight excursions
have a very profound and dramatic impact on our young campers.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="Body" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Like so many organizations, the
Winnipeg YMCA-YWCA has been hit hard by the pandemic and resulting shutdowns.
Restrictions made it <a href="http://www.ywinnipegcamps.com/campstephens/about/covid-19-updates/" target="_blank"><b>impossible to open camp</b></a> this past summer (the first
closure since 1917) and it remains unclear what lies ahead in 2021. However,

looks very different this summer. No kids are on the island.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">Due to the
pandemic, in the best interest of the health and safety of campers, staff and
the surrounding community, camp and the wilderness canoe program was cancelled
in May.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">So camp looks and
sounds like nothing we’ve seen. An empty dining hall, a quiet swim dock – the
normal sounds of a normal summer at camp are missing.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">Camp staff and
volunteers are using this time to get several repairs done on the island that
haven’t been possible in past years.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">The largest
project at camp is the new 4,507 square-foot depot. It will be a welcome
addition to camp when kids return. While the depot is almost finished, funds
are still required to pay for the cost to build it.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">More needs to be
done. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">Fixing staff and camper cabins, repairing the main boat dock, upgrading the
kitchen and dining hall windows and a building a fence for the new shop are but
a few things. Upgrades to the shower house and washrooms, built in the early
1980s, are another priority.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">The financial
need to pay for some of this work has increased. With no campers, camp has no
income. Yet the work still has to get done.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">You can help by donating to Y’s <a href="http://www.ywinnipegcamps.com/campstephens/about/capital-campaign-help-us-build-a-legacy/">Build a Legacy Campaign</a>.

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">● Local residents, cottagers and area youth camps establish Friends of Town Island to</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">launch grassroots public awareness campaign</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">● More than 4,000 concerned community members have already signed the online petition</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">KENORA, December 16, 2019 - The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) is joining with local residents and concerned stakeholders to oppose the City of Kenora’s plan to develop Town Island on Ontario’s Lake of the Woods.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In its recent letter to the City, NCC highlights its concerns for the future of Town Island and the City’s Request for Proposals for its development. NCC’s letter supports conservation of the land, noting that the island “is unique in the sense that it is a large, mostly undeveloped island in an area of Lake of the Woods that is heavily developed” and that the island may “provide habitat for bald eagles, a variety of song birds and plant communities that are rare in this part of Ontario.” </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In its letter, NCC asks that the City consider conservation and indicates that it is willing to work with stakeholders to assist in the process.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">With growing support from the public and organizations like the Nature Conservancy of Canada, local residents, cottagers and area youth camps have come together to form the Friends of Town Island to lead a grassroots campaign to raise awareness of Kenora politicians’ plans to develop Town Island and impact the environment. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The association’s website encourages visitors to get informed, sign the online petition and contact Kenora politicians. The campaign has generated more than 4,000 petition signatures and earned widespread interest from media and stakeholders.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“By developing Town Island, Kenora politicians are putting the interests of big business ahead of kids </span><span style="font-size: large;">and the environment,” said <b>Aaron London</b>, spokesperson for the Friends of Town Island and former </span><span style="font-size: large;">Chair of the BB Camp Board of Directors. “We are working hard to bring Kenora politicians to the </span><span style="font-size: large;">negotiating table in order to find a commercially viable conservation solution for the City, the Friends of Town Island and the public who will all benefit from placing the land in Trust.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Protecting Lake of the Woods for future generations is everyone’s responsibility,” said Kenora resident <b>David Nelson</b>. “By opening up Town Island to development, Kenora City Council is jeopardizing the area.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"This lake has been such an important part of my family’s life for close to 100 years and it’s devastating that politicians are being so short-sighted by selling off an historic public asset that has served the community and area youth camps for development. The fact is that the City has had a conservation objective on Town Island for ten years and public support for that remains strong. We can help make that happen.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Area youth camps on Lake of the Woods including BB Camp and YMCA-YWCA Camp Stephens play such an important role in connecting kids with their communities, the wilderness and the core values of caring, equality, inclusiveness, respect and responsibility,” said <b>Kent Paterson</b>, President and Chief Executive Officer, YMCA-YWCA of Winnipeg. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“We have been part of the Lake of the Woods community for more than 125 years and are proud of our history of service. <a href="http://campstephensalumni.blogspot.com/2019/12/town-island-what-you-can-do.html" target="_blank">Protecting the area </a>from unchecked development is a critical concern for our community and we call on Kenora politicians to stop their plans for developing Town Island.”</span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Friends of Town Island is a grassroots group of Kenora residents, cottagers, youth camps and </span><span style="font-size: large;">concerned stakeholders working together to conserve Town Island on Ontario’s Lake of the Woods and keep it free from development for the benefit of the public. By bringing together diverse communities of nature lovers, environmentalists, wilderness enthusiasts and youth advocates, the group is working to raise awareness of the risks related to the City of Kenora’s recent Request for Proposals for development of the island and has launched a public awareness campaign featuring a website, online petition and a </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/FriendsofTownIsland" style="font-size: x-large;" target="_blank">Facebook Group</a><span style="font-size: large;">.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You may have heard that the City of Kenora has sent out a request for proposals for the development of Town Island (home of the campsites known as Big Mosquito, Ants, etc, not to mention the home of our friends at B'nai Brith.), a move that no doubt puts private business interests ahead of the environment and our campers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Read <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/group-fights-sale-town-island-kenora-lake-of-the-woods-1.5391458">https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/group-fights-sale-town-island-kenora-lake-of-the-woods-1.5391458</a> for more about it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In response, we have teamed up with B’nai Brith Camp, residents, cottagers and others to form the Friends of Town Island committee. Our request to the city is simple – reconsider this process and meet with the committee before Town Island is overtaken by big development.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As a former Camp Stephens camper, you know first-hand the profound impact our camp program has on children and youth. The life lessons are invaluable, the friendships are everlasting an'd the connection to nature are imperative for the sustainability of our planet.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Town Island represents different things to different people, but to our alumni, particularly those with tripping experience, the Island represents tradition. It’s a destination rooted so deeply in our tripping history that to be without it would be a huge loss. Future campers will never get to share stories around the same campsite that previous generations of campers did. They will never get to explore the Island in the ways that so many of us, or our children, have explored it. The tales of lore that surround the Island will slowly be erased from our history because the Island itself will never be the same.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We need your voice!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We are asking all Camp</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">alumni to submit a testimonial for the Friends of Town Island website, highlighting the importance of camp programs for youth, the risks of unchecked development on Lake of the Woods and the importance of environmental responsibility. Testimonials can be sent to [friendsoftownisland@gmail.com](mailto:friendsoftownisland@gmail.com)</span><br />

The day before this story ran in the Trib a lot of people gathered at camp to mark the construction of 12 new cabins and dedicate the chapel to long-time camp cook <a href="http://campstephensalumni.blogspot.com/2010/12/alfred-davids-war.html" target="_blank">Alfred David</a>.<br />

<br />
Also christened Aug. 7, 1966 was the new boathouse, which we all know by now has been knocked down and <a href="https://campstephensalumni.blogspot.com/2019/06/building-legacy-at-camp-stephens.html" target="_blank">a new depot building</a> rising in its place.<br />
<br />
"A new boathouse was opened by Jack McKeag. The boathouse holds 28 canoes as well as sail and motor boats," the story says.<br />
<br />
That's it.<br />
<br />
We all know the boathouse was more than a storage building. For me, it was the shop andwhere I learned the business end of a hammer and to <i>always</i> wear eye protection when using a circular saw.<br />
<br />
For others it was the depot or trail building, where you planned and packed out your canoe trips, whether it was a junior cabin overnighter or a six-weeker.<br />
<br />
What caught my eye in the Trib story was the name Jack McKeag.<br />
<br />
I'd heard the McKeag name before as it was the name of the last cabin on the line; McKeags.<br />
<br />
Jack McKeag was <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_John_McKeag" target="_blank">Manitoba's 17th lieutenant governor</a>, appointed by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau in July 1970. At 42, McKeag was also the youngest Manitoban to be appointed LG. He served six years.<br />

<br />
<br />
More about McKeag is <a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/people/mckeag_wj.shtml" target="_blank">here on the Manitoba Historical Society</a> web page.<br />
<br />
Four years earlier, when he opened the boathouse, McKeag was president of McKeag-Harris Realty and Development Co. Ltd., a major property developer on the Winnipeg business scene.<br />
<br />
He was also:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>A graduate of Kelvin High School and the U of M in 1949 where we received a commerce degree</li>
<li>Married to Dawn Campbell in 1950 - Campbell was the daughter of Douglas Campbell, Manitoba's 13th premier</li>
<li>Father of four children; three daughters and one son</li>
<li>An unsuccessful Liberal candidate in the 1958 provincial election</li>
<li>Chairman of the Greater Winnipeg Election Committee</li>
<li>President of the Winnipeg Kiwanis Club</li>
<li>Board member of the United College board of regents.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Certainly, McKeag was a busy man and extremely active in his community. <a href="https://memorials.neilbardalfuneralhome.com/jack-mckeag/123186/obituary.php" target="_blank">He died in 2007.</a><br />
<br />
What I don't know is his and his family's connection to Camp Stephens.<br />
<br />
Anyone know?<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The old depot is no more.<br /><br />Here are a few photos of the demolition of the trail depot/shop building earlier this week. They were taken by Camp Director Mat Klachefsky.<br /><br />Mat says the plans for the new building aren't available just yet.<br /><br />"I can tell you the new design is going to feel pretty familiar," he says. "A lot of the bold ideas that were being thrown around were abandoned in favour of something simpler."<br /><br />A new depot has been in the works for about three years as the old building, known as the boathouse when it was built in 1966, was becoming overcrowded and no longer suitable for today's standards.<br /><br />A new shop building was built between the dining hall and wellness centre about a year ago.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large; text-align: start;">Former camp director Hal Studholme says his memoir of camp in 1960s reflects a time in the world when so much was uncertain, but at camp you could find a temporary calm.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"I thought it was a very unique era in the world because we were talking about a nuclear war," Hal says. "And then you went down to Stephens and you were in a totally different world of kids and fun and the lake.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"It was so special that I thought I should write down about the people and the experience and share it with others."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dedicated to camp cook <a href="http://campstephensalumni.blogspot.ca/2010/12/alfred-davids-war.html" target="_blank">Alfred "Davey" David</a>, <i>Memories of the 1960s </i>focuses on the lives of young people touched by time on the island.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"There is such an opportunity to forget yourself and immerse yourself in a world that helps children grow and where you grow yourself," Hal says. "And it's that experience that is unique to camping - it doesn't just have to be YMCA camping, it can be any camping - where you get the chance to live in the outdoors and experience that, and then at the same time work with children and each other for growth and development."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He also says despite the passage of time and the changes at camp, there is still much the same.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"It allows you to find out who you are in the present an allows you to explore the possibilities of becoming whatever you might be and watch others become themselves as well."</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Our memories of these years on trail and at camp dims with the responsibilities of getting older, the challenges of being a parent and our careers - and all the things life throws at us.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It puts a lot of distance from then to now. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What doesn't change is the friendships.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"Trail is a chance for one to find oneself," Nicole Fenton writes on page 23. "It's also a chance to make the kind of friend you don't or almost never make in the city. A friend with whom you can be yourself, perfectly natural. They've seen you at your worst and at your very best."</span></div>

I don't recall this ever happening, but then I'm getting older and perhaps I just like to remember only the stuff I like to remember.<br />
<br />
So back in the mid-70s the powers-that-was sent us kids out on canoe trips armed with this cookbook and this advice: If you ran out of food and were caught in "survival situation" there was plenty of good eating to be had all around you.<br />
<br />
Squirrels, chipmunks, birds and rabbits were just some of the tasty smorgusboard offerings you and your trail mates could chow down on when things got desperate--and so you didn't immediately eye up the littlest kid for the frying pan.<br />
<br />
"Rabbits are easy to clean; pinch up enough of loose back skin to slit by shoving a knife through. Insert fingers and tear fragile skin apart completely around rabbit. Peel back lower half like a glove, disjointing tail when you come to it, and finally cutting off each hind foot."<br />
<br />
Easy, peasy, huh?<br />
<br />
"Do the same with the top part of the skin, loosening it and finally cutting off the head and forelegs. Then pull animal open at the ribs and flip out the entrails, retrieving heart and liver. You can also cut out the small waxy gland between the foreleg and body. Roast or fry the remaining meat."<br />
<br />
Just serve with a sprig of rosemary and room temperature Merlot.<br />
<br />
<style type="text/css">

<br />
Wait. There's more. The forest is a veritable buffet.<br />
<br />
Who wouldn't want beaver on a plate?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TvayMc3oUEg/WQk7lyFCleI/AAAAAAAAQVo/FW2H3OOSzrMC-1pdeJDnNLj13l2QLzPeQCLcB/s1600/Beaver-sitting-on-logs-Isolated-illustration-on-a-white-background--Stock-Illustration.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="390" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TvayMc3oUEg/WQk7lyFCleI/AAAAAAAAQVo/FW2H3OOSzrMC-1pdeJDnNLj13l2QLzPeQCLcB/s400/Beaver-sitting-on-logs-Isolated-illustration-on-a-white-background--Stock-Illustration.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
"Beaver tail is especially full of oils," the trusty Camp Stephens trail cookbook opines. "All parts of animal should be used; e.g. bones in soup, blood in broth, etc., because they contain many vitamins and minerals."<br />
<br />
This handy cookbook also offers advice on what bugs and plants you can eat.<br />
<br />
Word of caution: It's important to not overcook your stinging nettles.<br />
<br />
So if you're planning canoe trip this summer--heck, if you're just camping with the kids in the backyard and want them to experience Scuzz Eggs and Rice and Raisins--download your own copy of the <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2knJKIlZ4xfWlNvb3dObXVuQTg/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">1975 Camp Stephens Trail Cookbook.</a><br />
<br />
Any poser can run down to MEC and fork over some big bucks for a few pouches of Backpacker's Pantry Chicken Vindaloo, but it takes true grit to bite into hunk of Klik fried in lard that was dropped on the ground and covered in pine needles.<br />
<br />
Yum!<br />

<div class="p1">
<i>Good morning and welcome to Chapel. Over the decades of 125 years, Chapel has always had a significant place in Camp Life, for Worship, Thanksgiving, and simply expressing the joy of the Stephens adventure. Today’s Chapel will be an amalgam of all these elements, for together they capture the meaning of camp for campers and staff who have had a very special and unique life experience. </i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>We invite you to take a pause in our reunion celebrations to give yourself over to remembrance, thanksgiving, sharing and worship. Close your eyes….. for a moment let your senses be open to all that surrounds you on this fabled island. Hear the breeze in the tree crowns and the lapping of waves on the rocky shore. Smell the scent of pine and spruce and moss. Let your mind reach back over the years and hear the shouts and laughter of a happy host of children as they play. Open your hearts to the spirit that inhabits every part of this place we love. This is Camp Stephens. Once experienced, it never leaves you. Once lived, it guides your life.</i></div>

<i>Why are we here today? What has drawn us back to Copeland Island? Is it the chance to reunite with old friends from our days at camp? Perhaps it’s to revisit this special place and relive fond memories…of a special cabin, the lodge, the depot, Lone Pine. So many places, each with a million memories. Yet, something intangible calls us. Something that, if you asked anyone from any time in the past 125 years, they would express an idea that you would understand and recognize in yourself. I call it, THE SPIRIT OF STEPHENS. This is what we are exploring this morning in our Chapel gathering.</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>The Stephens we experience today has only existed since the lake was freed from winter’s ice this spring. How can I say this knowing 125 years have passed on this very Copeland Island? Think about the nature of camp. Camp is a creature of our creation each season, indeed with each period of campers or school group, and each staff company. That is why we must never forget those who played significant roles over the more than 12 decades of Stephens, because each time a new community takes residence, camp becomes a new adventure. This is what makes Camp Stephens so unique, so special to everyone who comes here. You become part of the history of camp, part of its continuing creation and part of its evolving future. You become part of THE SPIRIT OF STEPHENS. </i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>First and foremost, from its very beginnings, Stephens has been about the growth of people in Spirit, Mind & Body. In the early years and for several decades that goal was expressed in terms of the Christian faith. YMCA leaders saw camp as a place to experience the handiwork of God in both nature and each other. They believed fervently in a God of love who bid them to love one another. In many ways camp is still the same, a place to learn to love one another.</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><b>VOICE OF CHARLES COPELAND</b>: “I’m Charles Copeland and to be very honest, it is very hot and I’m tired of rowing. My colleagues, Messers Richardson, Bayley and Ball and I have been searching for a new site for the YMCA Bible Institute for two </i><i>summers. When Mr. Browne first started the Institute in 1898 we didn’t realize how quickly the Keewatin Beach area would grow. The new saw mill has brought many workers and there are even new summer residents beginning to build near the beach. Yet we are confident that the Lord will guide us to where he wants us to be. This is the farthest out from Keewatin that we have come. Just one more island to explore and then the long row home. ……..Oh Lord, look at that beach between those two islands. The Lord has surely blessed us in leading us to this place, for I believe we have found ‘God’s Paradise’ and our new wilderness home. We must pause and give thanks.”</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>For the first twenty years of Stephens, it was predominantly an adult and family Bible camp. </i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><b>VOICE OF A MOTHER: </b> “Good Morning, my name is Maude Cameron., It was a long row out from Kenora for my husband, poor dear, but now that we’re here we are agreed that it was well worth the effort. My son and daughter are so excited that they unloaded our food and other supplies without any complaint. When they began the Bible Institute a few years ago we never imagined that it would become so popular. Why, there must be more than a dozen families here this week-end. These islands are truly a gift from God. There is talk that they will name them after Mr. George Stephens whose paint company has been so generous in establishing the camp. The children are off now gathering wood for our cooking fire. We have been granted a tent with a wooden floor that will accommodate us all. Now I must prepare supper and after that there’s to be a camp-fire with hymns and prayers and an inspiring talk led by a minister, from Knox Church. We have heard news that a fine steam boat may be purchased for next summer’s camp. The men will be happy for that boon. I must hurry with supper.”</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>It wasn’t until 1911 that the first boys’ camp was organized at Camp Stephens The parent YMCA was recognizing the importance of development work with young boys and what better place than in a camp setting. Men like T.D. Patton, H.R Hadcock and Fletcher Argue gave it leadership.</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><b>VOICE OF GEORGE PRATT:</b> “I’m George Pratt. At last, I’m old enough to be a camper at the new Camp Stephens! This is going to be the best time of my life! Even the train ride from Winnipeg was fun as we sang songs and hymns. They made us walk down the hill to the dock for the camp boat, but we all wanted to run. The Pastime is a new steam launch and the trip out was exciting, sailing past all those islands. Camp is miles away from everything way out here. A lot of my </i><i>buddies from the YMCA are here too and our gym leader, Mr. Hart will be here tomorrow. My friends and I found our tent; we rolled out our bed rolls and stowed our bags as instructed by a senior boy. They call him a counsellor. Now we’re ready for lunch. I hear we start with home baked bread and soup and then there’s Bible study and a prayer group, led by Mr. Daly, the director. He said we might have a campfire after supper tonight. Perfect! </i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>W.E Davidson was succeeded by W.H. Moor who was director when World War I began in 1914. This brought hardships to all of Canada as hundreds of young men answered the call of “King and Country”. Even camp faced difficulties like food rationing and some of the favourite camp leaders were overseas. In 1918 there were not enough men to act as counselors and camp closed for that season.</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"><i> </i></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><b>VOICE OF BILL ALLDRITT:</b> “I’m Bill Alldritt and I’ve just returned from overseas in Flanders. I volunteered in 1915 along with many of the men from the YMCA. I didn’t think I would be so moved, returning home to Camp Stephens after that terrible war. The mud and cold and the thunder of those big guns, I wondered at times if I would survive it all. I still waken at night shaking, not so much with fear, but simply because of the horror of it all. Yet, one of the things I dreamt of often in the trenches was Camp Stephens. They actually gave me a medal for bravery. I’m not sure I deserved it; there were so many brave men over there. And yet, here I am in a place that is all beauty and peace and blessed by the Lord. Still I have a deep sense of loss; 53 of my camp friends are left in graves in Flanders. I thank the Lord I was spared. The YMCA has honoured our men by naming two of the new cabins after our successes: Hill 60 and St. Juliens. Little do they know how much those victories caused us. I really look forward to working with the young lads. Perhaps I’ll dedicate this summer of 1919 at camp to the friends I left behind.”</i></div>

<i>By the end of the 1920s family and adult Bible camp gradually phased out. Boys’ camp became the prime focus, still with a large element of religion, but with new emphasis on the natural setting of camp, and skills in water craft and canoeing. The first cabins and the original dining hall were built. This was the era when a camp legend arrived and began to weave his personal magic. Alfred David, ‘Davey’ is remembered and revered, he gave the camp heart and soul.</i></div>

<div class="p1">
<i><b>VOICE OF DAVEY: </b> “I’m Alfred David; most of the lads call me Davey. This afternoon I did my little trick again, cured another junior of homesickness with a slice of my blueberry pie and some words to cheer him up. Hope it lasts. I came here in 1920 and already twelve years have passed at Camp Stephens. Like some of the older counsellors, I did my stint in the big war. But after only a few weeks of </i><i>fighting, up came a bunch of the Boche and I spent the next four years in a prisoner of war camp. I sure wouldn’t try any of the food I got there on this camp gang, too much of that cabbage and wurst sausage stuff. But I survived. I was lucky that the YMCA gave me a job at camp as cook in the summer and in winter at Central Y as a janitor. </i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>At camp I’m up before first light, to bed at 9, seven days a week. It’s a good life. </i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>But what I love most about this Camp Stephens is the young lads. When they gather in the dining hall I love the chatter and their happy faces. And sometimes I help with their troubles. Makes me feel good to do that. Oh they say I’m a terror in </i><i>the kitchen, but ‘my boys’ as I call them, like the food, especially my blueberry pies. Today’s Sunday so I think I’ll slip down to see what’s on at chapel this morning. I don’t get to chapel too often. I like to sit on that big rock at the left of the pulpit. Sometimes the boys fall over on the benches. That always brings a big laugh from everybody except the Director. I guess God has a sense of humour. I hope He lets me stay a lot longer in this place.”</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>Davey did stay, for forty-one years. He passed away in 1961 and is buried in Brookside Cemetery. He was succeeded by his assistant, Al Wilde. In 1966 the chapel was rebuilt and named in honour of Davey. I think he would get a chuckle out of that but he would be pleased to be remembered. And he is.</i></div>

<i><b>VOICE OF NELSON MCEWEN: </b>“I’m Nelson McEwen, It’s 1926 and this season I’m allowing a provincial girl’s group to use camp for the last two weeks of August. The weather is so bad at that time I felt it wouldn’t matter. Besides, they are so enthusiastic. Girls should have a chance to enjoy camp. But some old timers keep reminding me that Camp Stephens belongs to the Young Men’s Christian Association. I’m quite pleased with the new cook I’ve hired, Alfred David. ‘Davey’ as the boys call him is turning out to be a favourite already. Camp added four new cabins this year and we made new rules against tobacco and playing cards and unregulated swim times and boating. We inaugurated the Order of the Quest for older campers who spend a night’s vigil on Nanton Island. There were two eight day canoe trips this summer covering 50 miles each! Oh yes, and Flossie, our milk cow continues to serve the camp with cream for cereal and tea.</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><b>VOICE OF FRED HUBBARD:</b> “I’m Fred Hubbard, it’s 1927 and I’m proud to succeed Nelson as Director. But I told him of my disappointment that “Flossie” the cow has disappeared! We now must bring in cream from Kenora; it often sours with the ice </i><i>house as our only refrigeration. They tell me that “Flossie” swam away last fall but I doubt she could swim and there are rumours of a fine banquet for staff at camp closing. We introduced new programs for the boys of camp-craft, bird lore, camera club, fishing, basketry, sketching, knotting, and gymnastics to name the most popular. Two hundred boys are registered this summer, a record. Three canoes, a punt and a sailboat were added to the camp fleet. Four new cabins allowed us to discontinue the tents. And a local Ojibway group constructed an authentic birch-bark canoe on the island.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>Camp endured scarcities in the Depression but directors H.T Williams and S.T. Smith saw it through Some staff actually volunteered to work. The Second World War began in 1939 and many young men from camp join the military. From 1941 to 1945 Charlie Forsyth was director. Charlie was registered to come to the 100th anniversary in 1991 at the age of 90 but withdrew as his wife felt he should be home for his 65th wedding anniversary. Charlie was succeeded by Gordon Hearne, D.D. Hills and Fred Hoffman.</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>The war changed the world and camp. Program became more responsive to the setting of Lake of the Woods. To traditional mass games a greater interest in cabin based activities arose. Camp Stephens stressed the Y’s tradition of development in Spirit, Mind and Body . But as boys came to camp from different faiths and non-religious traditions the overtly Christian flavour waned. Counsellor training became more sophisticated, focused on growth and broad-based development.</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>Reverend Fred Douglas, camp director in the early 50s stressed that the motto “I’M THIRD” arose out of the Christian maxim to “LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR,” Ross Bannerman and the Owen brothers, Alex and Bill, directed camp in the 50’s,. Bill Owen redeveloped the Indian lore program into a major camp theme stressing the dignity of aboriginal people and honouring them for their lore of the natural world. Starting with his time as a camper, Bill likely had the longest camp experience of anyone in any era save Punch Jackson as both worked their way to directorship. Both had profound impacts on all aspects of camp.</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><b>VOICE OF RON WATSON:</b> I’m Ron Watson Youth Director at Central Y. After being a counsellor and staff at Stephens in the 50’s, the Y had enough faith in me to appoint me camp director. This year I have some real characters on my staff, all of whom make for a great team. I don’t know one who isn’t loved by his kids. This year we got everybody singing and Hal Studholme revived the Indian lore program. We even got a new launch, the Canadianna to replace the old Y’s Man. Camp sure seems strange without Davey. Last year was his final year. I remember the phone call that announced his passing that winter; it marked the end of an era and of a camp legend. His funeral saw men from the 1920’s to the 1960’s come to pay respects. If anyone was a perfect example of “I’m Third” it was Davey. </i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>But not all camp funerals are sad. This summer we had six straight days of rain. We tried everything, even celebrated Christmas with a tree and presents and singing carols. The rain kept on. So Hal & I decided to hold a wake and a funeral for Gertrude, the invisible elephant, the camp mascot. We sang songs, and paraded around the island. I did a eulogy and many Juniors actually cried. All camp gathered for her burial, at sea, in the front bay. Actually what we tipped over the side of the Y’s man was a grey tarp-covered Hobart dishwasher that didn’t work. Camp has always had many ways to honour its friends!</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>Doug McEwen & Punch Jackson succeeded Hal Studholme as camp directors and continued the evolution of Stephens. The 70’s were years of many physical and program changes at camp.</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><b>VOICE OF PUNCH JACKSON:</b> I’m Punch Jackson and I may be the oldest living camper here this week-end…. 60 years at camp starting as a camper in 1956. I may not have been here in body all those years, but in spirit and heart, I’ve never left. I even got my nick-name ‘Punch’ here, from Bill Owen and Ron Watson, two terrific mentors. I picked up from Doug McEwen after his great rebuilding program of the cabin line and especially most program elements. It was also when I put together and we began of the Voyageur program, the predecessor of Wilderness and Trail. When I became Camp Director in I had a dream of a major expansion of camping programs, inside and outside the Winnipeg Y. With the support of Don Phalen and Hal Studholme, we created the Camping Branch. Our team of Brian, Stubby, Law, Jim King, Larry Austman, John Macbeth, Alice Neville, Laurie MacIntosh and Bob Paterson we put together a five element branch: Stephens, Wilderness, Outdoor Education at Stephens and Manitou, Manitou Day Camp, Log cabin Sales and Wilderness Two. We wanted to be the best in the Canadian Y, and we were! Yet, as much as we expanded and developed, our focus never wavered, KIDS, PARENTS, THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVED, STAFF AND COLLEAGUES IN AND OUTSIDE THE Y. We built relationships and we strove for leadership development at all levels. </i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>Perhaps my one regret was ending the Indian Lore program. It ultimately was not working for its original purpose, to create understanding of and relationships with Native people. We have to find better ways to recognize them through camping and we will with their cooperation and input. I have always been convinced that through camping and wilderness programs we can open up fantastic experiences </i><i>for kids. I will continue to be a part of Stephens and Y camping and contribute to this goal.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Like I said my heart is here!</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>Tuck, Lynda Keep, fought for the rights of girls to go to camp and with Sheila Gawley and Ardis McLennan they braved the end of August and proved that they were right!</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><b>VOICE OF TUCK:</b> “Hi I’m Lynda MacIntosh, maybe better known by my camp nickname as “Tuck”. Well, it took a long time and a lot of pestering, annoying and demanding of Punch and Hal by me, but here we are, at long last, Stephens has a session for girls! I remember when I set foot on the island in 1962 for the very first girls’ camp. We only got the last two weeks in August and nearly froze to death. But I loved it. Polar Bear club, hours of singing, a chance to take out the canoes and great campfires, even the boys on staff who stayed to look after camp thought we were great! I was hooked! On my last morning I went to Lone Pine Point and promised myself that I would do everything I could to make sure every girl would be able to have an experience at Stephens like this for all the years to come – just like the boys have had for 70 years. In many ways, the Y has been a second home for me. I was a kid at old North Y and eventually became a leader for kid’s programs. But when I discovered Camp, I knew I had to be a part of it. Even after my family moved to California I managed to return in the summer to keep my Winnipeg Y roots. And Girl’s camp was always my goal.</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>I’m pretty pleased that they’re using the concepts for girl’s camp and canoe tripping that I developed while I was in University in California. Oh there’s probably a few of the ‘old boys’ complaining about “Girls in camp!” But we did it! We persevered! It makes me so happy that from now on women and girls will have the same life-altering experiences at Stephens that gave me my start. Our spirits, our minds and our bodies now have a chance to build a “million memories” at Stephens. And my personal promise is to live by the camp motto “I’M THIRD” every day. </i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>And we must not forget that, like the army, camp runs on its stomach! Some of the most memorable leaders at camp have been its cooks, Davey, Al Wilde and ‘Mac.”</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><b>LAURIE MACINTOSH:</b> I’m Laurie MacIntosh, just plain “Mac.” at camp. It’s 1974 and year four as Chief Cook. What I love best about this place, next to cooking up </i><i>dishes that they gulp down with gusto, is the singing. The boys are great, but the girls at the end of August are fantastic. They sing all day and everywhere! And I’m </i><i>especially pleased that they’ve even created something called the Lasagna Song. </i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>That’s a tribute and it all makes up for those really hot days in the kitchen! One more thing, I think I’d like to get to know that ‘Tuck’ gal a little better soon!<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>This was another era. Jim Leggat was Director from 77 to 79 and was succeeded by Grant Platts. Some of the most profound changes occurred at camp in this era, both physically and in the actual make-up of camping at Stephens. Alas we lost Jim in 1993.</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><b>GRANT PLATTS</b>: I’m Grant Platts, Camp Director from 1980 to 86. My dream job! I’ve happily survived being a camper, Voyageur, CIT and staff and in my very first year as Director the change to Co-ed camping. The old guard grumbled and said it would never happen, but it did. Even I had personal misgivings, but it has turned out to be a great success. Luckily we had some great girl leaders led by Marg Law as Program Director, and Nancy McGregor as head cook. I also experienced the building of Lount Lodge, The Clivus composting toilet system, a shower house and a new water treatment system, all under the leadership of Burton Boryen. </i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>Those years of new ventures and big changes turned out to be all round development experience for us all. Stephens has had a profound influence on my life. I’m fortunate to have stayed connected to camp to this day through friendships and the camp Alumni.</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"><i> </i></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><b>BURTON:</b> I’m Burton Boryen. Most people don’t realize how close we came to ending up in jail over Lount Lodge. We cut the wrong logs and got some people very upset, but I think the good Lord was with us and we managed to cut 250 of the right ones, float them to camp, create some unique construction methods, and over three years of hard work ended up with a pretty good result. </i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><b>GRANT:</b> I’m glad it turned out so well. What with the noise of chain saws from dawn to dusk and losing a big chunk of the campus I have to admit that the project nearly drove me nuts. </i></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><b>BRUCE:</b> I’m Bruce Owen and I think Mr. Graham Lount would be pleased with what his money created. Burton’s crew was me and Bob Picken, Bruce Backhouse, Colin Ledger, Dave Wright, Pam McLean, Mitch Campbell and Don Cochrane. He worked us hard and long but it was a great experience. I wouldn’t have missed it for anything. But I would be remiss if II didn’t recognize and give a big thanks to the dozens, campers and staff alike, who peeled logs, carried cedar shakes and sod and tons of stuff that we unloaded from the barge. They too are to be honoured as CREW!</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><b>BURTON:</b> Well, despite some risky moments and a lot of sweat, we’re proud of what we accomplished. Truly,I think God was watching over our project, guiding it and keeping us safe. We should credit Him as the ultimate architect and construction chief!</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>Wilderness, or as it eventually came to be known, TRAIL, became one of the strongest elements of camp. Two, Three, four and six week trips for both boys and girls became the norm. The latter proved to be a great training ground for counsellors and staff. Trail also demonstrated the character-building rewards of the program. </i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><b>KELLY PICKEN: </b>I’m Kelly Picken. Me and my brother Bob are long time dedicated Stephens people. I didn’t realize how little I knew about life until my first six week trip. Every time I took out another one I lived a new life, a deeper life. No experience has such a profound effect on the young men and women who challenge the wilderness of woods and water. We all grow in every way. It isn’t just the physical challenges, which are great, it is the effect on you emotionally, and yes, even spiritually. You bond with the wilderness, you become one with your fellow travellers, you become friends in a way that changes your life forever. I forget sometimes that it’s Camp Stephens that makes it all come about. The spirit arises on that island with people like Punch and Tuck and Grant who paved the way.</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>Every kid, boy or girl, who ventures out on the trail enters an experience that teaches them about themselves and what it means to look after yourself and those around you. You find a deeper, more aware, more spiritual you. I am blessed to have had the chance to live it. </i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>As an old timer, I have come to think of the 80s, 90s and 2000s as “Modern Times.” Succeeding Directors, in the 80s to the present: Bob Picken, Ian Smith, Jason Bowers, Jen Sulkers, Marlene Penner, Leighanna Shockley, and Steve Allen kept the traditions, created new features and adventures and gave thousands of boys and girls the chance to grow in Spirit, Mind and Body. And now Mat Klachefsky is </i><i>carrying the torch. Sitting here on this deck overlooking such a glorious vision of the lake and taking in the magnificent Lount Lodge, the new cabin line and swim dock features, it is easy to think of our history in terms of its physical development. From five forested islands and a few tents, we now have this modern, fully equipped camp, fleets of watercraft, a ropes course, climbing wall and prospects for more </i><i>development to come. The future is bright. We can even got lost in the beauty of this Lake of the Woods setting and indeed, the wilderness that is on our doorstep for decades more of exploration and discovery. But there is always more to camp.</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><b>LISA MALBRANCK & MARGO GRANDA: </b> Hi, We’re here to speak of the days when REM, the Indigo Girls, Sarah McLaughlin, the Tragically Hip, the Spirit of the west and the Beasty Boys helped create the sound-track of our camp lives. From section songs to Depot parties, to campfire tunes to singing songs while duffing a canoe…camp was always music to our ears. If you can feel what we’re feeling right now, then you’re experiencing a musical masterpiece! Copeland Island drew us in in so many ways in the 1990s and 2000s. We learned from our peers and nature, laughed ‘til we peed our pants, made the best of friends a kid could ever ask for until it was time to go home for a rest. </i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>Mass Days, Island swims, Food Waste, ECDCICA, and Women’s Ceremonies all helped craft amazing memories for us in this magical place. What an empowering experience for a teenager to solo a canoe, cook over an open fire and climb Raspberry Rock. You felt all grown-up, hanging with your best buds at El Gamo or just hashing a table. It was not until many years later that I realized the best thing camp ever did for me was to help me take my life seriously or sometimes, less seriously. The island developed a mystique somewhere between the summer of CIT’s and first year as staff. How fantastic that you and your cabin mates are now actually running the place! Learning to comfort a homesick junnie, or to motivate a senior for Polar Bear swim, how to balance doing laundry and busting a move at the Milltown in K-Town, all this capped off by some night swimming. And yet, camp in our era was still much like the experience of all those who came before us, the kids, your buds, the island and sitting on the swim dock watching the constellations reveal themselves one star at a time. Fortunately the important things never change.</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>I’m Marg Granda and I’m Lisa Milbranck and we believe this place is heaven to no one else but us…..and of course every other camper and staff who has set foot on this island.</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>But since 1911, Camp Stephens has been about kids. The future of camp itself lies in their hands… No, it lies in their hearts and dreams.</i></div>

<i><b>STEFAN SCHAIBLE-SCHUR:</b> Hi I’m Stefan Schaible-Shur and I have a big fact for you, CAMP STEPHENS IS AWESOME! That’s like in stone! I’ve been going to camp for four years and every year was better than the last. The whole experience is fabulous, the activities and especially the counsellors who are always by your side to give you tips and guide you. After my first year I was begging my mom and dad to let me go again. There’s always something new, like Trail pizza: that’s with nann bread with cheese and klick! Sound good?</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>People ask me, “what’s your favourite thing about camp?” To be honest, I don’t know. There are so many things, canoeing, sailing, ropes course, water trampoline, I could go on forever. I love canoeing and I’ve been on trail 12 times so far. The stories about Trail make me want me to do more, maybe even do the inspiring 6 week! Like Dylan, generations of my family have been to camp from my eight-year-old cousin to my grandfather who is in his 70s and went on a canoe trip many years ago. I hope I can keep coming back to camp like so many of you have done. I can’t wait to be a counsellor! Thank you Camp Stephens!</i></div>

<div class="p1">
<i><b>DYLAN FISKE:</b> Hi I’m Dylan Fiske and this summer will be my third year as a camper at Stephens. In fact I start tomorrow! Like Stefan I absolutely adore this place. It’s amazing that my family has been a part of Stephens for four generations, starting with my Grampa Hal, who was senior staff and finally camp director in the 1960s! Then my mom, Terri, and dad, Bruce, both were campers and then staff. This is my brother Wyatt’s fourth year and my sister Shaye’s second year and my cousin Caitlyn has also been a camper. We all have our paddles painted by grandpa to prove it! Everything about camp is great! The islands, all five of them, the lake, the big lodge, everything! The things we do are great too, campfires, swimming, kayaking, but best of all are the friends I’ve made from every cabin group I’ve been in. And our leaders are terrific! I think what I </i><i>really like best about Stephens is having something new to look forward to every day and every year. I’m hoping that someday maybe I’ll be a counsellor or even go on Trail and be a tripper. I want Camp Stephens to go on forever because I’m going to be a part of it!</i></div>

<i><b>LEADER: </b></i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>We must never forget that Stephens has been built on the shoulders of ordinary people, men and women who believed that the camp experience could have a profound effect on how a youngster grows and develops. The idea of growing in, in SPIRIT, MIND AND BODY, still has validity today. First and foremost camp is about children …..boys and girls, living and learning to cooperate and share with each </i><i>other, learning about life in the natural setting of Lake of the Woods, acquiring skills and coming to understand the practical arts of loving the earth and their neighbour. The young adults who work with their young charges also grow to maturity and in their understanding of the same values. It’s a win-win experience. </i></div>

<i><b>SONG: </b> It was in the 30s that one of the longest traditions of camp was officially dubbed the “CAMP </i><i>HYMN.” ABIDE WITH ME” was a favourite at chapel and became the hymn that ended all </i><i>campfires for decades into the 1970s. Some new verses have been added that make it more </i><i>relevant to camp. Whatever your belief, the words speak to a confidence that goodness will </i><i>prevail in life and even after. </i></div>

<i>. . .Sit with me on the old front dock, jutting out into the front bay. It’s a warm fall day in September. We swing our legs back and forth like many a camper has done, day dreaming of what has been and may be to come here in our favourite place on earth. We watch little eddies swirl in the cribbing of the dock just below our feet. The bay is calm, just a gentle breeze stirs the waters but it has an edge to it, a promise of harsher days to come. We’re alone on Copeland Island and the mind is free to roam, conjuring up sights and sounds and images that arise out of the times we have known this place. In your mind see the faces of colleagues and campers who have shared camp with you, Listen, can you hear the sounds of children’s shouts and laughter in the breeze? Are you here with me? I’m home. I come here as often as I wish by just closing my eyes and letting the years fall away. </i></div>

<i>Try it yourself. You never really leave Stephens and neither do my friends who shared it with me now more than 50 years ago.

His words still undergird everything that camp is about, LOVE ONE ANOTHER. That’s why our motto was I’M THIRD. Either way, Chapel and Camp itself was, and is, and always will be, about building a better world, one kid at a time.</i></div>

<span class="s2">The same cliché applies to camp. Those of us who attended the 125</span><span class="s3"><sup>th</sup></span><span class="s2"> anniversary saw how camp had changed since we last were on the island.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s2">New buildings replacing the old and new programming reflecting current times are two of the obvious changes.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s2">Yet it hadn’t changed, really, that much beneath the surface. The island is more about the people who pass through it, in the past, now, and in the years to come.</span></div>

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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Bob still has the binder. He's bringing it to the 125th this weekend.<br />
<br />
He recently scanned it so that if you can't make it to the island to celebrate the 125th anniversary, you can <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2knJKIlZ4xfUU5nQVVKOUlUMzQ/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">download your own copy.</a><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Forty-four years later, some of the
details of the trip are a bit vague, but some were so unusual that they are
unforgettable.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">None of us can remember whether we were
assigned the trip route or we planned it ourselves; we were just grateful to
have the opportunity to explore new territory. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">It was a great way to finish off
the summer. The journey started in Winnipeg and the drop-off point was approximately
70 kilometres up the Confederation Lake Road north east of Ear Falls. The road provided
access to the Uchi mine and not much else, as forestry operations had not
progressed this far north in the early 70s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">The route was an ambitious seven-day trip with some lake
travel at the beginning, small creek systems in the middle and a return run to
Ear Falls down the Wenasaga River system. The mapped route was 220 km with 36
portages.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">As we passed through Ear Falls we stopped
at the Lands and Forest Ranger Station hoping that the forestry staff could
offer a bit more information about the intended route, but no additional
insight was gained.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our route was
planned on a 1:250,000 topographic map (1 inch equals 4 miles) and an Alex
Wilson Red Lake Area Vacation Map at the same scale.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The route appeared feasible based on the portages that were indicated
on the Alex Wilson map.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Copies of
the route were left at the camp; this was the only record of where we were
going and where we were to be picked up seven days later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">The Day 1 route took us north up Confederation
Lake, through Washagomis Lake and into Swain Lake where we stopped briefly at
Swain Post.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a modest cabin
that served as a trading post and provisions depot for trappers and prospectors
who worked the area. Our memories are faint and we recall very little about any
conversation we may have had with the operator. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">We crossed the portage into Shabumeni Lake and camped at the
first suitable site, a bit short of our intended stopping point. The next day we
needed to make up the 8 km shortfall. We went up Shabumeni Lake and the
Shabumeni River and a short portage put us on Birch Lake. After paddling
eastward on Birch Lake we passed through Sutterly Lake and late in the
afternoon after paddling about 43 km, we started up a narrow winding creek
headed toward our Night 2 destination of Bertha Lake, only 4 km further on. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Progressing up the creek we began to
encounter numerous spruce deadfalls that were suspended from shore to shore. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was nearly impossible to pass under
them and the banks were clogged with brush and branches; there was no obvious
portage around this jackpot. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">We
chopped through many trees and squeezed under others, only to go around another
bend to find more. As we inched along we failed to notice the sun was beginning
to set as the days at the end of August are much shorter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was clear we would not make it to
Bertha Lake before nightfall and it was too late to back out of “shits” creek
to Sutterly Lake so Night 2 was spent camped in a black spruce, tamarack swamp.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">We set up the tent on the moss hummocks
which felt like a water bed when we finally settled in for the night. Exhausted
we had a bit of trail lunch for dinner but went to bed mighty thirsty as we had
no drinkable water in the swamp.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">The next morning we had to make a decision;
backtrack or press on, not knowing if the narrow creek would eventually become
passible, and not knowing if the other creeks further along the planned route
would be equally problematic. If our progress was further impeded we would not
complete the route in time to be picked up as scheduled, and we had no means to
communicate that we would be delayed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">We examined the maps closely; there were a lot of single line creeks on
the map between us and the Wenesaga River and no way of knowing how much
difficulty we might have if we pushed on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We did know we would be at least one day, maybe too days late coming
out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Reluctantly, we decided to
backtrack as we did not want to cause worry and uncertainty if we did not
arrive at the pickup point on schedule.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After backing out of the creek and retreating to Sutterly Lake we
discovered a trapper’s log cabin and stopped to cook breakfast at the cabin
site.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The cabin looked like it
belonged to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah_Johnson_(film)" target="_blank">Jeremiah Johnson</a> with trapping gear hanging on spikes and when we
peered in the windows you could see blankets hanging from the rafters and cook
wear piled on a small table.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">We
did not try to enter the cabin as we did not want to trespass, but we did leave
the site wondering who the trapper was, and what it would be like to be in this
remote location in the dead of winter.</span></div>

came an ore truck headed to the Ear Falls rail siding. The driver was willing
to take the canoe in the back of the truck; one of us rode with him and the
other two went with the salesman. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">We unloaded at the railway siding just
outside of Ear Falls where we met a railway foreman who offered to drive us to the
Ear Falls dam.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the time there
was a single traffic lane over the dam controlled by a traffic light.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This provided a captive audience of
stopped traffic that allowed us to attempt to negotiate (a.k.a. beg) a
ride.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a couple of hours a
young guy and his dog in a VW microbus from Nova Scotia offered to take us down
the Red Lake Road.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We loaded up,
climbed in the van and he welcomed us with three cold beers…best beer we ever
had.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Our Nova Scotia friend dropped us off in
Vermillion Bay at the junction of the Red Lake Road and the TransCanada
highway. So there we were…hitch hiking on the TransCanada highway; three smoky,
sweaty, grubby guys, packs, paddles and a bright red Langford canoe, that was
impossible to hide in the ditch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We were there for several hours and endured numerous sarcastic remarks
from passersby. It looked like we might get stuck there and would have to call
the camp to advise them of our whereabouts. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Eventually, just before sunset, a
fellow offered us a ride to Kenora in his pickup truck; two of us in the back
holding the canoe and one lucky guy in the warm cab.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well after dark we were dropped off at Fisherman’s Dock and then
we night paddled through Devil’s Gap and down the lake to Camp Stephens
arriving about 2:00 am.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We met our
objective which was to arrive at camp before the driver set out in the morning
to pick us up at the Uchi mine. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">We proudly laid claim to the record for the
“longest portage” (approx. 230 km). It was now in the CS record book…and best
of all, we faced no ridicule for not completing our planned route.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">A week later Rick and Bob were headed to
Lakehead University for first year field camp in the Forestry program. About a
month later they were introduced to aerial photography and the forestry maps
that were in use at the time across the province.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The aerial photography was at a scale of four inches equals one mile;
16 times more resolution than the maps we used on our trip. Had we known at the
time, the route could have been planned using these photographs and all
uncertainty about the route would have been eliminated.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Today, there are other tools that make
wilderness trip planning more predictable and safer. Examination of Google
Earth imagery now reveals that the route was doable and had we pushed through
the difficult stretch of creek to Bertha Lake, we probably would have been ok
for the rest of the planned route, although still probably a day late.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">The imagery also shows that we had
other route options in the area (Seagrave Lake to Deaddog Lake to Marsh Lake) that
likely would have been a preferred route, but these lakes were just off the
edge of our Alex Wilson map. It also shows that a large forest fire started
east of Grace Lake and burned eastward over the area north of Bertha Lake and
the clogged creek that forced us to turn back.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Today we have GPS technology, satellite
phones and SPOT beacons which provide communication capability and the means to
deal with safety predicaments or delays with pick up arrangements.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">There are a number of remote tourism
outpost camps on the lakes in the area which also provide a way to deal with
emergency situations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Trip leaders
of today, should certainly make use of these modern tools, but keep them tucked
away in the bottom of the leader’s pack and only used for emergencies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is still possible to preserve the
adventurous spirit of a trip in the “boonies” by navigating using the old topo
maps. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">So who was Ephraim Bergstrand?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had no way of finding out back in
1972, but<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>today a few hours on the
internet reveal that he was a prospector back in the 1930s. His name appears in
a couple of 1936 provincial mining reports and <a href="http://www.geologyontario.mndmf.gov.on.ca/mndmfiles/pub/data/imaging/OFR5700/OFR5700.pdf" target="_blank">one document</a> reports that he
recovered “a few ounces of gold by hand crushing and panning” on his mining
claims in the vicinity of “Bergstrand Lake”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">This lake name does not appear on any of today’s maps, but a
1936 Ontario Geological Survey map (P.3118) map was discovered that shows Bergstrand
Lake; it was one of the small unnamed lakes we travelled through, and likely
the site of his grave. Another intranet site that provides detailed mapping of
the position of the sun at any location, year, date and time confirms that the
sun’s rays would have hit the south shores of the two un-named lakes early in
the morning in late August 1972.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Forestry operations have not yet reached
this area, but they are now not too far to the south. So the mossy portage, the
trapper’s cabin and Bergstrand’s grave have not been affected by
development.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Forest companies are
very diligent at protecting known values when planning and carrying out timber
harvesting operations. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">So, the closing chapter to this story will be a
commitment to inform the forestry company of our discovery 44 years ago, and
ask that they make their best efforts to locate the Bergstrand grave, likely on
the shore of Bergstrand Lake, and leave it undisturbed when they operate in the
area sometime in the future. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>R.I.P.
Mr. Bergstrand. </span></div>

<b>A footnote to the story: </b>Rick Prior and Bob
McColm have remained good friends over the years and continued canoe tripping.
Rick’s home is Thunder Bay, and Bob moved from Dryden to Peterborough in 2009.
Brad Abbott’s home is now Toronto and we tracked him down with some internet
sleuthing. Memories of the 1972 trip have faded, as have the photographs, but
the memorable aspects of this trip and our time at Camp Stephens will never be

<span style="background-color: white;">I don't understand Facebook but I discovered a picture that shows the Indian </span><span style="background-color: white;">mural I painted in 1961, the year the dining hall was built. It was covered up in the 1970s(?) because a school teacher thought it was 'racist' and complained. I'd love to see it uncovered again before i pass on and at least get a photo. It took all summer to paint, after lights out with one 40 watt bulb for light! Thanks for the reminder. Hal</span></div>

Sadly, it may no longer exist, and at best it would be very difficult to access. The dining hall was re-recovered and finished in 2002, and likely a time or two between that one and the '70's. But there is no harm in asking. I'll speak with Wayne who would have overseen the 2002 work and Mike who is currently responsible for Camp.</span><br />

<div class="page" title="Page 1">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<span style="font-size: large;">From the August 6, 1927 edition of the <i>Manitoba Free Press</i>:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>"Sunday was the big day of the entire camp when the second annivers<span style="vertical-align: 1pt;">ary of the outdoor chapel and the twenty-eighth season of the camp was observed.</span></i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="vertical-align: 1pt;"><i>"<a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/people/gordon_cw.shtml" target="_blank">Rev. Dr. C. W. Gordon </a>was in charge of the service, and spoke on each individual's responsibility for rendering service."</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="vertical-align: 1pt;"><i><br /></i></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="vertical-align: 1pt;">This chapel service would have been held at its c</span></span><span style="font-size: large;">urrent site above Emblem Rock.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The <a href="http://campstephensalumni.blogspot.ca/2015/08/chapel.html" target="_blank">original site of chapel</a> was located just down the path from the log cabin towards Raspberry Rock (<i>Click on the hyper-link to read about the history of chapel</i>).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="vertical-align: 1pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="vertical-align: 1pt;">The old site is now kind of marshy and overgrown, but somewhere in the bush, not that far off the path, should be the remains of the original cairn. </span></span><br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In the summer of 1941 news about the war in Europe and the Far East dominated the front page of the <i>Winnipeg Free Press</i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Except on Monday Aug. 4.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">On this day a story ran on page two that Camp Stephens was under quarantine. Three cases of "infantile paralysis" had been confirmed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Or polio, an infectious disease that attacks the central nervous system and can cause temporary and in serious cases permanent paralysis and even death. Thousands of Canadians were infected by polio in the years before the first vaccine was developed in the mid 1950s.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So health authorities swooped down on camp and placed it under quarantine, effectively cutting it off from the rest of the world. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Within a few days, each of the stricken boys showed signs of a full recovery and the quarantine was lifted.</span><br />
