Kunamokst Lodge’s spring fellowship occurred in April at Camp Baker, and it was a great success! Friday evening was a strong start to this event with check in going smoothly and everyone excited to see their friends. As people showed up, they began to gather in the dining hall. They played board games and caught up with their fellow Arrowmen. The crackerbarrel started around this time, and everybody went to get some food. Not long after that, people started heading off to bed excited for the next day!
Saturday morning started off with a well-executed flag ceremony and some great food. Directly after breakfast, three different training sessions were offered to help Arrowmen learn about leadership, service, and ceremonies. The trainings led into a NOAC contingent meeting, and service for people who were not interested in attending NOAC. The service project, which involved moving bunks, cleaning campsites, and moving hay, went great and helped to bring the members of our lodge closer together.
Lunch was delicious, and it energized the lodge for the rest of the weekend. During the afternoon program, the lodge was split into tribes in a Survivor-style competition. These tribes spent the afternoon together, doing activities like rifle shooting, knot tying, tug-of-war, and other team building games. Throughout the afternoon, the tribes were earning points based on the activities they did and the riddles they solved. The afternoon ended with an obstacle course competition between the two top tribes. The winning tribe went on to do another competition among their members to find the final two people. This led directly into a truly amazing dinner followed by campfire with skits and the final challenge to decide the winner of the Survivor competition. The last event of the night was an excellent Brotherhood ceremony that added seven new Brotherhood members to Kunamokst Lodge.
Sunday morning brought another good flag ceremony and another delicious meal. After breakfast, camp clean up started with everyone doing their part to make sure we left Camp Baker better than we found it. The weekend concluded with the lodge gathering to sing the OA song. After all the goodbyes were done, we reflected on the weekend as we made our way home.
