Episode 23 welcomes Hannah Story to the podcast, joining Jesse, Landon, and first-time co-host Samantha — with Hannah calling in from Halifax, Nova Scotia. 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.
