to view the Winter Pow Wow and Ordeal Flyer
For the Second year in a row, the Chattahoochee Lodge will be sharing the Winter Pow Wow with a Winter ordeal. on March 27- 29. What does this mean? Well it means that we are going to have an ordeal before conclave so that the newly inducted brothers can attend conclave. Besides an ordeal, we will also be using this event to get ready for conclave, which means we will be working on the quest events, putting last minute practice in for ceremonies and dance teams, and making sure we have the last minute details done so we can be well prepared for conclave. For more information about an Ordeal including a packing list, health form, and camp directions etc. please look at the Ordeal page. Registration will be from 6:00 PM EST- 8:00 EST at the Administration Building.
