You’ve been inducted into The Loyal Lodge. Now What?
Each summer, a new group of campers are welcomed into the Loyal Lodge of Ondessonk &Tekakwitha. While some have learned a lot about Lodge from other campers, their counselors, or even family members, some join without much knowledge about the history and traditions of this special group, and the same can be said for their parents or guardians.
To help everyone understand more about the Loyal Lodge of Ondessonk & Tekakwitha, the families of new members receive a letter from the Lodge Officials. Similar to what is given to new Lodge members, this letter briefly explains the history and values of Lodge, how Lodge is governed, and the different types of Lodge members.
Each new Lodge member is given information about their Council after they are inducted and are asked if they would like to share their phone number or email address so they can begin receiving information about meetings or events.
This information, and additional information on Camp’s website, is intended to help new Lodge members and their families feel connected to the other campers, staff members, and volunteers who are committed to Camp Ondessonk and their communities.
If you joined the Loyal Lodge of Ondessonk & Tekakwitha recently and would like more information, contact Lodge Officials at lodge@ondessonk.com for more information.
