Witauchsoman Lodge is dedicated to maintaining and improving our Camp facilities.  Please join us to make our Weekend a productive endeavor.  The OA has been providing service to the Minsi Trails Council and its camps for over 85 years.  Without this service the Council would be unable to provide the excellent program it offers to so many youth throughout the year.  In order for the Lodge to provide this level of service, WE NEED YOUR HELP.  Lodge Weekends are not just the place to take your Ordeal; they are a time for existing members to rededicate themselves to the principles of brotherhood and cheerful service.  We ask you to come and share a weekend of brotherhood, service, fellowship, and FUN.
