Pre Camp Registration Closes in one week!

Hello Arrowmen!

In one week, registration will close for Pre-Camp Fellowship! Be sure to register now before the late fee is applied on May 11th!

Register here

If you do not know what pre-camp is, get ready for an awesome ordeal weekend packed with lots of fun.

And the best part is if we get 300 people to register, our Lodge Chief Alex and Vice Chief of Membership Sankalp will shave their heads!

Prepare to have fun in various games and fellowship, patch trade with other Arrowmen, enjoy some amazing food cooked by the dining hall team, enjoy a really good and memorable campfire show, and meet up with many friends throughout the council.

If you would like to participate in service to others, there are plenty of opportunities still open to you!

If you went through your Ordeal last November or earlier, you will be eligible for Brotherhood. This is a unique way to further yourself in the OA. To go through, click the "converting to Brotherhood" box. If you are going through and paid for the seasonal camping pass, let Kit-Kat and her advisor Mr.Moore know at lodge.vca@mowogo.org and adviser.vca@mowogo.org to ensure you do not pay for the event twice.

If you went through any of the past Elangomat training, try being an Elangomat! These are the first people you meet in the OA and you will have the opportunity to serve as one. Being an Elangomat also gives great experience in what you might need to do when carrying out an eagle project or other service project. Talk to Sankalp at lodge.vcm@mowogo.org.

You can also serve as a ceremonialist! Ceremonies are an impactful part of the ordeal and will leave a very memorable experience for candidates. Serving as one can teach you great public speaking skills which will be helpful for future endeavors. Talk to Andrew at lodge.vcia@mowogo.org.

Order of the Arrow High Adventure

Brothers,

For any thrill seekers who are searching for an opportunity to do high adventure at a cheaper price, look no further. It is time to register for Order of the Arrow High Adventure! (OAHA)

Every summer, the OA provides the opportunity to participate in high adventure at the four National High Adventure programs in the U.S. You will spend time in both service to the camp and going on an unforgettable unique, and tailored high adventure experience.

Currently, there are slots open for Wilderness Voyage, Canadian Odyssey, and Trail Crew. Wilderness voyage is two weeks in the Minnesota boundary waters on a canoeing expedition with Northern Tier. Canadian Odyssey is a two-week program at Quetico Provincial Park in Ontario Canada working on a canoe at Northern Tier. Finally, there is the OA Trail Crew a two-week backpacking program at Philmont Scout Ranch.

OAHA has different sessions available. Check the availability at https://oa-bsa.org/high-adventure.

Doing OAHA, you will have the opportunity to work closely with different people across the country and build an unbreakable bond with them. OAHA will also provide significantly cheaper high-adventure prices, really cool-looking patches, offer unique opportunities regular treks will never be able to do and have great friends from all across the nation.

Let me know if you are interested in this opportunity at lodge.vcc@mowogo.org. Responding to this email also works.

Thank you!

Yours in Enthusiasm,

Pre Camp is a weekend-long event on May 17th - May 19th at Camp Rainey Mountain which acts as an ordeal weekend for new members. All current Arrowmen will have the choice to help out and leave a lasting impression on the upcoming members.

Whether you would like to try out Elangomating, Ceremonies, or Dining Hall, or just want to show up and participate there will be something that you would like! Each opportunity includes new people, new friends, and valuable skills that will help you outside of your Order of the Arrow adventures.

Outside of Cheerful Service and the opportunity to meet some awesome new people, get ready to experience an amazing drum circle, several games and activities, unforgettable food, and a legendary campfire program!

Additionally, If you went through your Ordeal in November, you will be eligible for your Brotherhood at this event! Just be sure to click "Convert to Brotherhood" during registration. If you are going through Brotherhood and bought the seasonal camping pass, please send our Vice Chief of Administration, Caroline Davis, and her adviser, Mr. Larry Moore, an email so that they can add you to the Brotherhood conversion list and you don’t pay for an event you’ve already paid for!

Conclave - Thank you Drivers!

Hello Everyone!

Conclave was an amazing event! I got to see several friends smiling and making memories all while having fun.

For everyone who was a driver, I thank you so much for your incredible service to the Lodge. Your willingness to help others and add additional time to your trip paid off as so many of our Arrowmen not only had tons of fun but also learned many new valuable skills and might even be inspired to do further great things with the Order of the Arrow in the future.

Our Lodge took a different approach than usual to coordinate rides with the implementation of Google Forms to submit the need for a ride and who would be able to provide a ride. In the future, we hope to continue to tailor this new approach so that the system will be even smoother for future events.

For the drivers who filled out the Google form, thank you again for your great service. For everyone who filled out the Google form, thank you for letting us know of your need and we encourage you to fill out future ride forms in the future if a ride is needed.

I hope to see you all soon!

Yours in Enthusiasm,

Tamas L. Phillips | Vice Chief of Communications
