So long, and goodbye...

After 28 episodes, countless stories, more than a few Moose Man theories, and enough dough bake debates to last a lifetime, the Camp Okema Podcast is coming to an end.

In this final episode, Jesse is joined by co-hosts Kaleb Schultz and Landon “The Lumpy” Nelson to reflect on an incredible year of podcasting. Together, they share why the time has come to put the show to bed—for now. But one thing is made abundantly clear: this decision has nothing to do with the listeners. In fact, the support from the Camp Okema community has exceeded anything the hosts could have imagined.

The hosts also look ahead to another exciting summer at camp, including the Okema Society’s 50th Anniversary celebrations on July 4, and the upcoming camping season. Registration remains open, Campaign season is never far away, and listeners are encouraged to stay connected through Camp Okema’s social media channels for future updates.

Whether you’ve listened to one episode or all twenty-eight, thank you for being part of this journey.

We’ll see you at camp. ♥️☮️✝️

Episode 27 : Dave & Janice Kerr

In Episode 27, Jesse is joined by special co-host David Johnson and longtime Camp Okema leaders Dave and Janice Kerr for a conversation that spans decades of camp life. From their first visit in 1983 through an Anglican parish weekend to years of involvement in work weekends, family camp, and leadership, the Kerrs share how Camp Okema gradually became a central part of their lives.

They reflect on the early days of camp—rustic facilities, evolving cabins, and the challenges (and character) of places like Sleepy Hollow. Much of the conversation focuses on their years leading Small Fry Camp, including how programs were built, how staff were trained, and the intentional care that went into creating a meaningful first camp experience for young campers.

Along the way, they revisit the traditions that defined those summers: graces and meal routines, dish pit duties, bannock over the fire, campfire songs, skits, night games, and the always-important certificate notes. They also highlight the people who shaped camp behind the scenes and the role of spaces like the outdoor chapel in building community and faith.

It’s a thoughtful, story-rich episode that captures the heart of Camp Okema through the lens of leadership, service, and decades of memories—plus, of course, a quick check-in on the ever-unsolved Moose Man mystery.

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.

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.

Episode 26 : Leila Mitchell (.mitchell)

In Episode 26, Jesse, Sam, and Anna are joined by Leila Mitchell, calling in from Edmonton, to talk about a lifetime spent at Camp Okema—starting at just two months old and returning nearly every summer since. 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.
