OA High Adventure
Have you ever watched the Northern Lights dance across the
sky over the Canadian Border? Carried
a canoe a mile to see a spectacular waterfall?
Worked to repair historic trails? Paddled
forty miles in one day, seemingly chasing after a perfect sunset across
countless still lakes?
This summer, take advantage of an opportunity to have experiences like
these at the Order of the Arrow Wilderness Voyage or Canadian Odyssey at the
Northern Tier High Adventure Bases in Minnesota and Ontario.
On a two-week trek with one of these programs you can give service
through trail building, make unforgettable memories, and canoe in beautiful
remote country.
The service at the foundation of our Order acts as the cornerstone of
this program. During your first
week, you will work with your crew to repair and restore portage trails in the
Superior National Forest or Quetico Provincial Park.
This crew is composed of Arrowmen from around the country and led by two
outstanding foremen trained in trail building, outdoor skills, and the Scouting
and OA programs. During the second
week you will embark on a voyage where you will explore pristine wilderness,
make leadership decisions, and face up to the challenges of nature.
The friendships and memories that you make in the North Woods will stand
the test of time.
You can attend one of these two-week programs for only $200.
Arrowmen must be between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one to attend.
