24 Apr 2024 — All pages of the camp website have been updated with info on the 2024 summer season, and registration is open for all summer programs. The Scouts BSA Summer Program Guide is now available.
Induction weekends are the largest lodge events of the year. During these weekends, we welcome new members into the Order of the Arrow, provide much-needed service to the camps, and gather with our current members for Fun and Fellowship.
The purpose of the Ordeal is to have candidates reflect on their own Scout life and character and come to a deeper understanding of the Scout Oath and the Order’s principles. This purpose is realized through a fourfold Ordeal that includes sleeping alone, silence, work, and a limited amount of food. No hazing or endangerment of a Scout’s safety is allowed.
Time: 8:00 AM – 12:00 noon
OA Candidate Cost: $60 (covers 2023 dues, sash, book, Lodge flap, and all meals & fun for the weekend.)
Current Brother of the Lodge/Brotherhood Candidate Cost:
