Wa-Hi-Nasa Lodge is proud to serve the Middle Tennessee Council by hosting Winter Camp for the 9th consecutive year. The theme for 2011 is the Sports Experience. Some of this year's activities will include flag football, dodge ball, and Volleyball tournaments as well as food you would enjoy at a sports event! New to Winter Camp in 2011, is the addition of extra time allotted in the afternoon for Merit Badges to be completed that require additional time and effort. This year we are planning to take a trip on the "Music City Star"  commuter train.

We are in the planning stages and it looks like we may be able to bus about 200 scouts (first-come basis) to Martha's Station located at Highway 109 and Highway 70 near Lebanon and ride the train into Nashville and back. Keeps your fingers crossed! Afternoon activities will focus on teambuilding

Winter Camp Roundup

The 2008 edition of Winter Camp was a wild, wild, west of an experi-ence, with over 600 cowboy campers and 150 adults in attendance. It was staffed by 65 Ar-rowmen of the Wa-Hi-Nasa lodge. These Arrowmen worked with great intensity and showed what a brotherhood of cheer-ful service is all about.
The schedule for this year was packed from sun up to sun down. From afternoon games, like the bull ride and dodgeball, to evening pro-grams like the hoedown and a movie night; Winter Camp was a hoot and a hollar to experience.However, the fun activities were just a small part of each day. Morn-ing classes gave Scouts an opportu-nity to earn three merit badges. " It was a great way to earn some unique merit badges" said one Scoutmaster.
Winter Camp is a major service project from our lodge to benefit the council. The Lodge has agreed to take on the year-round planning and training requirements to reliably stage this event. Arrowmen are performing nearly every task needed to make this event a success. From doing the dishes to performing in the shows, Wa-Hi-Nasa members consistently earned high praise from both the council staff and participants.
