Ian and his son, Evan, at the ground breaking ceremony for Bergstrom Lodge.

Over the years of my work with the Development Committee at Camp Stevens, I was not surprised to see several particular supporters among a (highly confidential) list of major supporters. However, a few names on that list stuck out. I was frankly surprised to see my name there as we have never been able to give much at any given time. Instead, we have tried to be faithful in our support over 20 years. The story that sticks out to me most, though, is the donor who has given just $20 a month for nearly forty years. No one seems to know the story of how the gift started - but we do know that her gifts now exceed $20,000! You many not be able to imagine giving anyone a $20,000 gift, but I suspect that you could manage $20 a month. Please considering joining the faithful cadre of monthly donors - small gifts add up over time. Monthly gifts are easy to establish! Just visit the camp website and click on donate now at the top - or call the camp office (760/765-0028).
