The retirement of a legend

This Big Camp marks the end of an era. Steve Plahn, long-time caretaker of Watson Park and Big Camp, has announced his retirement after an incredible 23 years of service.

Steve has been part of the very fabric of Big Camp—maintaining the grounds, making countless improvements, and ensuring every camper, from Tots & Toddlers to the Youth Tent, enjoyed a beautiful, well-kept space. For many of us, it’s hard to imagine Big Camp without Steve at the helm.

We are sad to see him go, but deeply grateful for his decades of dedication and the legacy he leaves behind.

Thank you, Steve, for everything you’ve poured into these grounds and into our Big Camp family!
