In this episode, Jesse sits down with retired Bishop Tom Morgan to explore the deep roots and enduring legacy of Camp Okema. From Tom’s first summer as a camper in 1955 to his role in shaping the camp’s future, this conversation dives into the moments that built Okema’s story.
We talk about the early days of the Okema Society for Christian Development in the 1970s, cabin construction adventures (including one unforgettable bear encounter at Uncle Tom’s Cabin), and the vital contributions of First Nations people to the camp’s history. Bishop Tom also reflects on key figures like Ted Morton and others who helped lay the foundation—literally—for what Camp Okema is today.
It’s a fascinating mix of history, heart, and humour that captures just how much Okema has meant to generations of campers and leaders alike.
