If you’re a new Arrowman – this info is for you. First, welcome to your first Conclave. Conclave will provide you an experience like no other you’ve had so far. Friday night of Conclave is an opportunity to get settled – you’ll camp with your OA Lodge in a designated area. Friday night is also a big party – cracker barrel, music, dancing, talent show, costume contest and more. 

Keys to Friday Success – eat dinner before you arrive (first meal is Saturday breakfast), bring a carnival or circus costume, maybe it’s just a clown nose or perhaps you have a ringmaster outfit laying around the house. Upon arrival you’ll head to registration and get your welcome packet and instructions. Check the back of your Conclave booklet for an opportunity to meet people and get some prizes. 

Saturday starts with food of course and then we launch into some training. Make sure you have selected one of the three pathways and arrive at your meeting place at 9AM. We recommend the Basic of the Show but you can pick any of the pathways you’d like. The afternoon has activities and competitions to fill all your time. This year also features waterfront activities and archery. Saturday ends with the election of section officers, an inspiring show, and a thrilling live auction. 

Keys to Saturday Success – bring a pen to take notes during training, this isn’t like school but we have brought together the very best trainers from Nevada and California to help you. Check with your Lodge or Chapter Chief about being on a competition team or being a designated competitor for your lodge – 5K, crate tosses, art contests, etc. Bring a swimsuit for the waterfront and your throwing arm for the dunk tank. Overwhelmed? An inclusion will be running to just hang and chill a bit. Bring money for the snack bar and trading post. 

Sunday is pretty simple, wake up, pack up, clean your camp area, eat, witness the awards ceremony and safely return home.
