]]> episodic no The Camp Okema Podcast campokemapodcast@gmail.com no full STEEN CAMP : Part 1 STEEN CAMP : Part 1 The Camp Okema Podcast Welcome to a special edition of the Camp Okema Podcast—Steen Camp (Part 1). Jesse and Kaleb sit down to bring back one of their most chaotic and creative camp ideas: Steen Camp (formerly known as “Super Teen Camp”)—a fully imagined, no-limits version of camp where anything is possible and every idea is just a little over the top.

In this episode, they map out the opening days of Steen Camp, starting with Collegiate Day. Think parent drop-off meets full campus takeover—complete with cabin “houses,” recurring camp tours, food trucks, a pep rally, and a March Madness-style basketball tournament (yes, including a staff team). It’s part camp, part college kickoff, and fully unrealistic in the best way.

From there, things only get weirder with Woodchuck Monday. Campers are paired with their very own “woodchuck” for the day—bringing them along for meals, chores, chapel, and activities. The day builds toward Chuck Bake, cabin decorating, and a full-on “Chuck-o-ween” celebration with costumes, games, and candy-fueled chaos.

This is just the beginning of Steen Camp—and we want to hear from you. Let us know what you think, what ideas you’d add, and whether you want to see more episodes like this in the future.

From being a tag-along in Sleepy Hollow to stepping into leadership roles as a pre-teen, Leila shares what it was like to grow up right alongside camp.

She reflects on early camper memories, volunteering at a young age, and some classic Okema experiences—horseback riding, WALO, and the chaos (and creativity) of teen camp. From prank-filled weeks to night games like Mission Impossible, her stories capture the energy and unpredictability that define those years. She also shares what it was like leading a pirate-themed Small Fry camp—complete with a buried treasure that almost didn’t make it back.

The conversation dives into camp traditions too: baked oatmeal loyalty, Johnny Appleseed grace, dish pit roles, and a spirited dough bake debate. Add in campfire songs, skits, talent shows, and evolving camp culture, and it’s a full snapshot of the Okema experience across generations.

The episode wraps with reflections on Sleepy Hollow’s legacy, the importance of certificates, faith, and friendships—and of course, Leila’s take on the ever-mysterious Moose Man. It’s a story-filled episode that captures what it means to grow up at Camp Okema.

From early growing pains to favourite guests, unforgettable stories, and segments that became instant classics, the crew reflects on what made year one so memorable.

They revisit the moments that felt most like sitting around a campfire, the traditions they’d love to see return, and a few debates that are still very much alive (including Moose Man theories). Along the way, they preview upcoming events like the Saskatoon banquet, recap Prince Albert, and look ahead to the 2026 Camp Okema season.

The episode also includes a moment to remember MT Owens and her impact on the Okema community, before turning toward the future—dream guests, new ideas, and what a successful second year could look like.

To close things out, Okema Family Feud returns—this time with the listeners taking on Kaleb and Landon in a close, chaotic matchup. It’s a fun, reflective, and slightly competitive way to celebrate one year of the Camp Okema Podcast. 🏕️🎙️

With deep family roots through her grandparents, Ken and Betty Burningham, Lauren shares how camp has shaped her life from her earliest Grand Camp memories (now Family Camp) to her years as a camper, cabin leader, and youth ministry intern.

Lauren reflects on early homesickness that slowly transformed into a powerful sense of belonging, along with unforgettable childhood stories — including sleepwalking adventures, Murray Point trips, archery range memories, and the quiet magic of growing up alongside the same camp community year after year. The episode captures the evolution of teen camp culture too: extreme power napping trends, shifting traditions, and the energy of a full-summer staff experience packed with off-site adventures, creative programming, and the kind of chaos that only makes sense in hindsight.

The conversation dives into dining hall loyalties and favorite graces, strategic dish pit roles, and a passionate dough bake debate. Lauren shares her campfire song picks, skit and talent show memories, and the influence of the people who shaped her faith and leadership journey. From WALO and Okema Olympics to night games and canoe trips, her stories paint a full picture of what it means to grow up at Okema.

The episode closes with heartfelt reflections on Sleepy Hollow, certificate signing, giving back to camp, and the legends that keep evolving — including Moose Man and Guyman. It’s a generational look at Camp Okema tradition, community, and the moments that stay with you long after summer ends.

Hannah shares how she first discovered Camp Okema from across the lake near family friends’ cabin — drawn in by the lights, the noise, and the unmistakable energy of camp — and how early nerves as a new camper quickly turned into a deep sense of belonging.

She reflects on her journey from junior camper in the mid-2010s to cabin leader training, cabin leading, and eventually co-leading Small Fry in 2022 alongside Katrine Sinclair during a unique post-pandemic summer. The conversation highlights standout teen camp memories, including winning the first year of the “campaign,” the infamous trophy mishap, decade day, teen dances, and earning the nickname “Toe Dog” in one of camp’s more chaotic games.

Hannah also answers the Manna House questions — the peanut butter grace, baked oatmeal as her top pick (recipe secured), and her loyalty to drying dishes in the dish pit. The crew debates ideal dough bake strategy (butter and raspberry jam preferred, Cheese Whiz questioned), shares campfire favourites like rounds and Pharaoh Pharaoh, and revisits the skits and music videos that defined their teen years.

The episode closes with reflections on Sleepy Hollow’s legacy, night game memories, and the ever-expanding Moose Man lore — plus a few new mythical contenders. An episode full of laughter, tradition, and the kind of stories that only Camp Okema can produce.

From there, the crew takes a trip through Camp Okema’s history, drawing from the late Howard Green’s document, “The 40th Anniversary of the Okema Society for Christian Development: A Historical Overview of Camp Okema” (July 2016). Using his work as our guide, we unpack the formation of the Camp Okema Society and highlight key moments from 1977 to 1995.

To wrap things up, we dive into listener questions—like what our ideal camp day would look like, and who makes the cut for each team’s official Mount Rushmore, and where we're sitting on a canoe.

It’s got the nostalgia, the history, and the Okema humour all rolled into one episode.
