Lodge Dues Uses

Lodge dues are an important part of being a member of the Lodge of Ondessonk & Tekakwitha, but have you ever wondered how those dues are used? In addition to making you an active Lodge member, your dues support Lodge activities for the year. 

Annual Dues fund supplies and equipment used to provide Lodge programs to members and for induction ceremonies. Items like tiki torch fluid, Duraflame Logs, and even the material needed to make Lodge sashes are made possible by annual dues.  Additionally, your dues are used to support Leadership Development programs for our Lodge members and help support the activities of our 10 local Lodge Councils.

If you’d like to renew your annual Lodge Dues to help contribute to these expenses, you can do so by visiting https://form.jotform.com/220055940786156. 

Annual dues are $10 for those below the age of 25 and $20 for members 25 and older.  You can also secure active membership for life by joining the Lifetime Lodge Membership program with a one-time payment of $250. 

Paying your dues to support Camp Ondessonk is an essential investment in the preservation and enhancement of an extraordinary environment for growth and discovery. These dues play a vital role in maintaining the facilities, programs, and resources that make Camp Ondessonk a transformative experience for countless individuals. By contributing to the financial foundation of the camp, you directly enable the continuation of its mission to foster personal development, character building, and a deep appreciation for nature. Your commitment not only ensures that the Camp remains accessible to new generations of campers but also demonstrates a commitment to the shared values and community that Camp Ondessonk represents. Each payment echoes your dedication to upholding the camp’s legacy of empowerment and instills a sense of pride in being a part of something greater than oneself.
