NOAC: July 28- August 5

NOAC is one the greatest experiences an arrowmen can have. You will go to Michigan University and be surrounded by 8,000 fellow brothers. NOAC is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that should not be missed this year!

The opportunities at NOAC are endless. From training on leadership skills, to how to start a dance team, and what it takes to run a lodge induction weekend, training will inspire you to return home ready to share knowledge with your lodge.

The American Indian Activities will provide additional training on crafts, song, and dance. The AIA committee will host PowWows  as well as national singing, team dance, and individual dance competitions.

The Inductions and Ceremonial Events will provide you opportunities to participate in ceremonial evaluations and inductions training. Evaluations are offered for Pre-Ordeal, Brotherhood and Vigil ceremonies. Trainings will include how to run a lodge induction effectively and symbolism through Order of the Arrow Ceremonies.

Be sure to attend the evening shows which are full productions including special effects, keynote addresses, award recognitions, and an opportunity to gather with 8,000 Arrowmen in one place. At NOAC, there are plenty of lodge competitions for our lodge to compete including the national championships for soccer, volleyball, basketball, and ultimate Frisbee. Stop by the national Order of the Arrow museum in the afternoon, or participate in an afternoon training session.

Hope to see your there!
