What should I bring?
Once you are fully registered for OASES, you'll receive a complete packing list via e-mail. But in general, you'll need to bring clothes for three days that you don’t mind getting dirty, including some warm sweaters, a jacket, and a rain coat. Temperatures can get chilly at night, so you'll definitely want a warm sleeping bag, too.
What shouldn’t I bring?
Cell phones, iPods, and other electronics are fine for the van ride up here, but once here we’d like you to unplug for a few days and ground yourselves in our very tactile activities.
What are Delegation Advisors?
A Delegation Advisor is a parent or teacher willing to chaperone a group of students as they participate in this exciting conference. Up to two advisors are welcome to accompany the delegation from your school.
What are Delegation Coordinators?
The Delegation Coordinator might be one of your teachers or it could be a student at your school who is an alumnus of The Outdoor Academy. They are probably in tenth or eleventh grade.
Who is my Delegation Coordinator?
The delegation coordinator's name and contact information should appear at the bottom of the OASES poster hanging in your school.
What if I cannot determine who my Delegation Coordinator is or my school does not have one?
Contact us for help. Perhaps you will become the Delegation Coordinator!
What are student delegations?
A group of up to six eighth and ninth grade students from the same school.
Can parents come too?

What is the deadline for registration?
Student registration forms must be printed, completed, and submitted with a $45 payment by mail postmarked on or before April 1, 2010.
How will I know if I am registered?
