Welcome to the Section Induction Experience (SIE), a unique opportunity for OA members to fully experience the Order of the Arrow’s induction process while preparing to serve on future Lodge Induction Experience staffs. This immersive weekend simulates an actual induction weekend, allowing participants to experience the new induction firsthand, deepen their connection to the Order’s core principles, and gain the knowledge and training needed to help deliver meaningful induction experiences in their home lodges. Leave inspired, equipped, and ready to guide future candidates through their own journey into the Order of the Arrow.

WEATHER, SAFETY, DIETARY
Please dress and pack appropriately for the weather. 

Hydration is very important to avoid heat-related sickness! Just because you do not feel thirsty, does not mean that you are not dehydrated. All Participants and Staff must have a water bottle at all times and all service sites will be kept stocked with drinking water. We will take regular water and rest breaks. Sunscreen and hats are also very important.  

If you have any special dietary needs due to medical or religious reasons, please contact the OA Bistro at bistro@miki.org. They will help make sure the Bistro Staff is aware of special needs. It is a good idea to email them even if you listed restrictions on your reservation.

OA Staff
You will be camping in the staff areas. Please be prepared for a great weekend at Camp Constantin.

Sunday Morning Departure @ 10:00 am
After breakfast, upon completion of our Induction Weekend, we will police the property and ensure Camp Constantin is left better than we found it before leaving the property.
