Winter Camp Awareness (WCA) is an informational training session hosted and taught by members of the Order of the Arrow. The aim of this event is to teach how to camp safely in cold and frigid conditions while having the most fun. 

 

Scouts will learn how to sleep warm, choose the proper tent and terrain, operate stoves and fuel, select winter foods, perform winter first aid, and choose proper cold weather clothing. This training is essential to prepare Scouts for any winter-oriented events, including the upcoming Klondike Derby.

This district event has a fee of $37 per Scout. There are only 12 spots available. If you’re interested, sign up below. Because WCA training is mandatory for those attending the Klondike Derby, priority will be given to those who are committed to attending both.
