Session 2: March 14-17, 2026
OA Trail Crew is an opportunity for Arrowmen (ages 14 and older) to provide service to the trails at Camp Strake and establish a bond of brotherhood with fellow Arrowmen. OA Trail Crew is modeled after the National High Adventure Base programs. It is also an opportunity to learn how to do trail and conservation projects. The trail crew activities develop leadership and planning skills for all those involved through cheerful activities and serves as a method to continue to grow the spirit of the Order of the Arrow.

Emergency Action Plan
Recent updates to Texas youth camp safety laws require camps to maintain detailed emergency preparedness and response plans and provide notice of those plans to participants and families. These laws were passed to strengthen safety procedures at camps across the state and ensure everyone understands the protocols in place during emergencies. By acknowledging the Emergency Action Plan (EAP) Acknowledgement Form, the parent/guardian confirms reviewing the camp’s emergency action procedures and understands how the camp staff will communicate and respond during an emergency. This acknowledgement also serves as a notification that no portions of any Sam Houston Area Council camps are within established floodplains.
