Uncle Steve’s Park and Cabins was founded in 2000 by owner/ operator Stephen Chisholm. It was always a dream of his to own a Tourist Resort and after viewing a few possibilities, he decided that the former Camp Bragmore was the place he had been waiting for. This was a brave undertaking for Stephen, who was 23 at the time.

 

The first thing he did was to change the name. At the time, his oldest nephew Cole was crazy about his Uncle Steve, so the parks new alias seemed the perfect fit.Over the years, a lot has changed. The park has grown from a mere 13 seasonal campers to over 45. 6 new cabins have been built to replace the aging ones, and the remaining 3 were extensively renovated. 2 older cabins were torn down. A new shower house, pump house, residence, store, docks, and garbage shed were constructed. Stephen quickly learned that the work of a tourist operator is never done. 

 

Ironically, Stephen and Becky met when she brought her Volkswagon Beetle to a Classic Car event hosted by Uncle Steve himself. Over the past 14 years, Becky has taken over many of the office, cleaning, and marketing responsibilities. This has freed up more time for Stephen to focus on outdoor tasks such as landscaping and construction.

 

In 2011 Stephen and Becky welcomed their daughter Samantha. Born into camp life, many of our guests have become extra aunts, uncles, and granparents in her life. Her duties have evolved as she got older. Now she can be found working side by side mom and/or dad. 

 

 The Chisholm family also consists of 4 spoiled kitties, Leaf, Yoshi, Punkin and Mittens. 

 

Stephen and Becky were engaged in August 2014 and married in March 2016. Together  Stephen, Becky & Samantha make up the Uncle Steve's team and are dedicated to giving you a holiday to remember. 

 

Aside from work at the camp, Stephen tinkers at odd jobs in the garage, plows driveways, cuts firewood, and runs the groomer for the local snowmobile club. An avid vintage snowmobile collector, Stephen spends a great deal of the winter working on and driving his snowmobiles

Becky left the teaching field in 2020, opting to start a solo cleaning business in fall 2021. The flexability it offers pairs perfectly with her summer commitments. With 20 wonderful clients in rotation, she is more than busy year around. Outside of work, Becky enjoys walking, knitting, gardening, and watching the birds. 

Samantha is currently attending Grade 9 at Manitoulin Secondary School. This winter, having never curled before, Samantha joined the MSS girls curling team and has developed a love for the sport. Her and her team dedicated many evenings and weekends to improving their technique. Their hard work paid off and resulted in them heading onto NOSSA; a first for the MSS girls team. Aside from that, she can be found crafting, shatting with friends, and watching you tube; most often all at once
