You’ve been invited to the 50th Anniversary Reunion


Thursday – July 11, 2024

Invite only with limited spots

Come up to our camp on the mountain and get another taste of Steens. Enjoy the creek, campfires, quaking aspens, and relive the memories with other past Steens people.

Guests are to bring their own camp: shelter, food, etc (the camper military canvas tents will be setup and you’re welcome to sleep in them if you wish)

Porta-potties are available and various tools in the shed should you forget something.

Prior to coming into camp feel free to checkout your old “stomping grounds” on your own: Fish Lake, Pate Lake, Horror House Meadows, Blitzen and Kiger Gorge, Big and Little Indian, Wildhorse Lake, and the Summit.

“Leave No Trace” – Pack it in and pack it out (campers will be using camp the following week)
