Camp La-No-Che

(Event Patch)

Escape to the Amazon: A Weekend of Service and Adventure at Camp La-No-Che. This weekend will be packed full of meaningful tasks, fun, and fellowship. As stewards of this sacred land, it is our duty to ensure its vitality and beauty for generations to come. Together, we will wield our axes, shovels, and saws to carve paths, clear debris, and nurture the very essence of this wilderness sanctuary.

Service Weekend also features Lodge Officer Elections and the chance to cast your vote for the James E. West Fellowship Award recipient. Who among us will rise to lead with courage, wisdom, and a dash of jungle flair? The jungle drums beat with anticipation as we await the answer.

Ordeal members of 6 months or more are invited to become Brotherhood members. Brotherhood completes the Induction experience by fully revealing the OAs mysteries and purpose through engaging seminars, a hike with friends, and an inspiring ceremony. Brotherhood members receive a new sash featuring the Arrow plus two red bars.

Please note: Bring your own your own tent.
