We are starting this year's first fellowship with a *BANG*, literally, with a science theme. Come join in on the experimental fun, fellowship, and service at Camp Augustine!

The Spring Fellowship is a weekend of fellowship, friendship, fun, and cheerful service. We will induct new members into our order through the Ordeal process. Current members will provide service to Camp Augustine as well as enjoy many fun activities.

Check-In Friday, April 26th between 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. at Camp Augustine located just outside of Grand Island. The event will end promptly at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, April 28th. Meals will be provided.

Ordeal

Ordeal is the first level of membership in the Order. In order to become a member, a candidate must go through an ordeal so they can be tested on all points of loyalty and fidelity, which our brotherhood is founded upon. They spend a night under the stars, cheerfully participate in a day of service, bound in silence, and live on scant food so they can turn their thoughts inward.

Brotherhood

To become a Brotherhood member, an Ordeal member must wait at least 10 months. Brotherhood membership is earned only by the Ordeal member himself or herself. They will be reviewed on their knowledge of the  Obligation, Song, and History of the Order, as well as other things. Once a member has become a Brotherhood, his or her membership is completely sealed in the Order.
