2003 Lodge Ordeal Weekend Gallery

The 2003 Shu-Shu-Gah Lodge Ordeal was again situated at Camp Keowa at TMR. On the Weekend of May 16-18, 49 new Brothers were inducted into our Order. Greatly needed service was provided to the camp when candidates set up tents and cots, moved old tent platforms, and waterproofed several buildings. We awarded some of our annual awards and for the first time presented the Len S. Charity Chapter Achievment Award. Shu-Shu-Gah also had the privildge of elevating 2 Brothers to the Vigil Honor.



The not-so cheerful workers look for a way out of camp and hope the war canoe can take them to Narrowsburg!

Candidates help repair tent platforms and set up tents in Camp Keowa.
