Order of the Arrow Lodge 560

2020 Dixie Fellowship

By

Dixie Fellowship is April 24-26, 2020 hosted by Atta Kulla Kulla and held at the Blue Ridge Council’s Camp Old Indian at 601 Callahan Mountain Rd, Travelers Rest, SC 29690.

Theme

While embracing change, we still hold true to the traditions of the Order of the Arrow. The theme for the 2020 SR-5 Dixie Fellowship will be “New Brotherhood Same Traditions.”

Health and Safety

Each delegate is responsible for filling out and turning in a BSA medical form (BSA Annual Health and Medical Record parts A and B). A doctor’s examination is not required. No delegate may attend the Dixie Fellowship without the medical form. Please remember that if you sent your Health Form in with your 2020 Passport – you still need to send another one for Dixie. Mail your Health Form to Abbie Teeple: 583 Conley Road; Morganton, NC 28655. Health Forms cannot be sent electronically per BSA rules.

Camping Arrangements

Each lodge will be assigned a campsite prior to arrival. Limited power is available in campsites. Battery powered Cpap and other devices are encouraged. Cell phone charging stations will be available.

Individual in-camp transportation will be restricted. Delegates with a medical need desiring to bring their own golf cart or similar transportation device must have prior approval, in writing, from the Service Lodge. Requests must be made to the Service Lodge by March 31st. Golf carts must be licensed, insured, and have a fire extinguisher.

Dining Arrangements

All meals will be prepared at the camp’s Dining Hall. Delegates will dine in the Dining Hall with overflow seating as needed in the main tent. Lodges with delegates that have special dietary needs should report full details to the Service Lodge by March 15. Every effort will be made to accommodate those requests.

Parking

Very limited in camp parking is available, with most parking  at a remote facility. Atta Kulla Kulla will provide shuttle service to transport campers to and from remote parking. Please carpool as much as possible in order to conserve space.  Vehicles parked in the lot will likely be blocked in for the weekend so plan accordingly.

Pursuant to Camp Old Indian and Blue Ridge Council policy, no vehicles from any lodge will be allowed past the front gate of Camp Old Indian. Campers may drop gear at designated locations in the parking lot. Gear will be transported by Dixie 2020 staff from the parking lot to each lodge’s campsite. You will need to unload quickly and move your car to off-site parking so others can unload.

Lodge Communication

Camp Old Indian has very limited cell phone coverage. The camp offers wi-fi access for a fee. Planning is to utilize a closed internal network at no cost to electronically distribute newsletters, announcements, etc. in order to reduce printing.
