Summer 2016: The Wilderness is Calling

A pair of loons calling on a moonlit lake, the crackle of a campfire started by a flint rock and steel striker, and a small crew of young men singing "The Voyage Boys" before heading to bed...In the North Woods of Minnesota and Southern Ontario lies a special place, three million acres of glacial-formed lakes wilderness. As the North Men of the OA Wilderness Voyage program, we extend our invitation to you and look for you to accept your wilderness adventure this summer.

Summer 2014: Maadaadizid
