Tarix

50 yildan ortiq lagerlar an'anasi

1957 yil yozidan boshlab, Sent-Filipp lageri^[2] Belleville yeparxiyasining tarkibiga kiradi. O'ziga xos sharoitga ega bo'lmagan cherkov 1957 yilda Grafton Illinoys shtatidagi Kamp Piyasani va 1958 yilda Illinoys shtatidagi Vaterlovendagi Kampni ijaraga oldi. Har yili yozda lagerlar Monsignor Jon T. Furni rahbarligida seminaristlar va kollej o'quvchilari tomonidan to'ldirildi.

"Sent-Filipp" oromgohi ishtirokchilariga lagerda o'q otish, o'q otish, suzish va qo'l san'atlari kabi an'anaviy mashg'ulotlar hamda yozgi oromgohda pishirish, uy ishlarini olib borish va boltachilik kabi noyob tadbirlarni taklif qildi. Lager, shuningdek, bugungi Kamp Ondessonkda topilganga o'xshash lagerlar sharafi jamiyatini taklif qildi. Sankt-Filippdagi lagerlar tunlarini besh birlikdan birida o'tkazdilar; Market, LaSalle, LaLande, Brebeuf va Hennepin. Katolik yoshlar lageri uchun doimiy joylashishni istashni boshlagan Monsignor Robert DeGasperi Ondessonk lageriga aylanadigan erni ijaraga olish harakatlarini nazorat qildi.^[3]

Ko'ngillilar brigadalari 1959 yilning 28 iyunida rejalashtirilgan ochilishidan oldin tugatish uchun poygada 1959 yil bahorida yangi yozgi lagerni qurishni boshladilar. Lagerning birinchi yirik binosi ovqatlanish zali uchun poydevor quyilishi bilan barpo etildi. Janubiy Illinoysning turli qismlaridan kelgan Parijlar mablag 'va ko'ngilli quruvchilarni taqdim etdi. Ko'ngillilar savdogarlari sanitariya-tesisat va duradgorlik mahoratini berish uchun dam olish kunlari o'z vaqtlarini berishdi. O'rta maktab yoshidagi o'g'il bolalar va seminarchilar hafta davomida o'z vaqtlarini ko'ngilli o'tkazdilar. Ular bir necha kun lager joylashgan joy yaqinidagi ferma uyida qo'l arra bilan kabinalar qurishdi. Iyun oyining birinchi haftasi yaqinlashganda, birliklarning birortasi hali to'liq emas edi. Ochilish kunidan bir hafta oldin hammom qurildi, garchi u erda suv isitgichi yo'q edi va toza suv bilan ta'minlash uchun quduq qazilgan edi. Ochilish kuni bolalar va ota-onalar kelishganida, ko'ngillilar kabinalardagi so'nggi bulochkalarni qurishni tugatishga intilishdi.

Oromgohning birinchi yozida yangi joyida 481 nafar lager va 52 nafar xodim lager davom etgan to'rt hafta davomida qatnashdi. Yetib kelganlarida, oromgohlar asl birliklarning to'rttasidan biriga joylashtirildi: Brebeuf, Chabanel, Gupil va LaLande. Kamp Ondessonkda hali suzish yoki qayiqda suzish uchun ko'l bo'lmaganligi sababli, lagerlar Ozark Creek-ning hozirgi vaqtda "Moviy hovuz" deb nomlanuvchi qismidan suv bilan shug'ullanish uchun foydalanganlar. Kamondan otish Amantacha hozir o'tirgan joyda va miltiq o'qlari 50 yildan keyin yashaydigan joyda joylashgan. Lagerning dastlabki bir necha yillarida qizlar mavsumida miltiq qurollari taklif qilinmadi. Dastlabki otxonalar hozirgi "Brebeuf Flats" joylashgan bo'lib, bir hafta oxirida ko'ngillilar tomonidan qurilgan barqaror bino va lagerga sovg'a qilingan otlarning shov-shuvli podasidan iborat edi. Lagerdagi hunarmandchilikning yana bir yo'nalishi lagerlarga pichoq, bolta, arqon va ochiq olovda pishirishni ishlatishni o'rgatdi. Shuningdek, tabiatda sayr qilish va yovvoyi tabiatni tomosha qilish bor edi. Birinchi lager shifoxonasi asl ovqatlanish zalining orqa tomoniga yaqin bo'lgan tosh ustida joylashgan. Oltin Arrowhead debyutini Ondessonk lagerining boshlanishidan bir necha yil o'tgach amalga oshirmagan bo'lsa-da, lagerning birinchi yozida Kumush Bearclaw namoyish etildi, u hafta davomida eng ko'p ball to'plagan birlikka topshirildi. Keyingi bir necha yil ichida Tongas va Kachinas kabi boshqa mukofotlar berildi.

Lagerning dastlabki yillari yozlari barcha bolalar mavsumi va barcha qizlar mavsumi o'rtasida taqsimlandi. Keyinchalik, coed sessiyalari joriy etildi. Kamp Ondessonkning birinchi yozi atigi to'rt hafta bo'lgan bo'lsa-da, talabning ko'payishi qo'shimcha haftalarni qo'shishga majbur qildi. 1960 yilda yozgi mavsum to'rt haftalik o'g'il bolalar lageriga va uch haftalik qizlarga uzaytirildi. 1960 yilgi mavsum uchun ikkita yangi birlik qo'shildi va etti haftalik mavsumda 1804 lager qatnashdi. 1960-1961 yil qishda Sent-Ishoq ko'li qo'shilib, lagerlarga suzish va suv transporti bilan shug'ullanish uchun joy berildi. 1962 yil yozida shuningdek, o'q o'qlari va Oltin o'q uchlari qo'shildi. Lagerdagi binolarning o'sishi keyingi bir necha yil ichida davom etdi, shu jumladan ko'proq birliklar (1964 yilda jami etti kishi: Brebeuf, Chabanel, Daniel, Garnier, Gupil, LaLande va Lalemant), B.O.Q. va yangi kasalxonalar. 1964 yilda Qo'shma Shtatlarning Tabiatni muhofaza qilish va o'rmon xo'jaligi departamenti bilan atrofdagi Shonni milliy o'rmonidan lagerdan foydalanishga ruxsat berish va lager maydonini 4585 gektargacha kengaytirish to'g'risida shartnoma tuzildi.

1965 yilga kelib, yozgi ro'yxatga olish 4380 nafar oromgohda 120 nafar xodimni qamrab oldi. "Pioneer haftalari" yoki ikki haftalik mashg'ulotlar, shuningdek Tarzan belanchak, sho'ng'in platformasi va zipline qo'shilishi bilan bir xil yozda kiritilgan. Yozgi mashg'ulotlar paytida, Tekakvitada kabinet lager yonib ketgan sham tufayli yonib ketdi. O'sha paytda salonda hech kim bo'lmagan va bo'linmaning qolgan ikkita kabinasi saqlanib qolgan. Idishning ichida bo'lgan deyarli barcha lager mollari bilan bir qatorda to'liq yo'qotish bo'ldi. U erda qolgan lagerlar haftaning qolgan kunlarini o'tkazishni afzal ko'rishdi, ota-onalari ularga yangi kiyim-kechak olib kelishdi va keyinchalik idishni qayta qurishdi. 1967 yilda Amantacha birinchi daraxtlar uyi bo'ldi. Savdo shoxobchasi binosi o'sha yili ilgari joylashgan Ma'muriyat binosining kichik qismidan chiqib ketishga imkon beradigan qilib qurilgan. 1968 yil may oyida Echon ko'li qurib bitkazildi va qayiqda suzish uchun alohida ko'l berildi. Ko'lning sharqiy qismidagi qismlarni asosiy maydonga ulash uchun Larri Garner yodgorlik ko'prigi 210 metr uzunlikdagi masofada qurilgan. Yopiq ko'prik, shuningdek, 1968 yilda Saint Mary's Parish ko'ngillilari tomonidan qurilgan. O'sha yili, shuningdek, to'rtta yangi dush uylari va Echon ko'lining deyarli barchasi atrofida yo'l ochildi, ular tuproqli yo'llar va yo'llarni almashtirdilar.

1969 yilda o'g'il bolalar mavsumida ayol xodimlar va 1970-yillarning boshlarida Chikagodagi lagerlar va xodimlar, shuningdek mamlakat bo'ylab xodimlar va xalqaro xodimlar qo'shildi. Kempinglar sonining ko'payishiga yordam berish uchun ko'proq lagerlarni joylashtirish uchun chodir bo'linmalari bo'lgan Ahatsistari va Lalemant qayta tiklandi. Butun kunlik qidiruv ishlari 1972 yilda qo'shilib, lagerlarga atrofdagi erlarni o'rganish imkoniyatini berdi. Lager favoriti 1975 yilda Juma Marafoni qo'shilishi bilan qo'shilgan. 1976 yilga kelib, Ondessonk yangilanishga va yangilanishga muhtoj edi. Garnier daraxtlari uylari Garnier kabinalari o'tirgan joydan quruqlikda qurilgan va Echon ko'li bo'ylab sayohatchilarni olib o'tishning turli xil usullarini o'rniga Amantacha ko'prigi qo'shilgan. Chabanel 1979 yilda hozirgi joyiga ko'chirilgan va 1981 yilda LaLande kabinalari daraxtlar uylarida qayta qurilgan. Ko'pgina bo'linmalar o'zlarining uch qirrali ko'rinishini 1970-yillarning oxirlarida 1980-yillarning o'rtalariga kelib Polineziya dizaynidan ilhomlanib qabul qildilar. Walt Disney World-ga sayohat. Garnier o'zgarishlarni boshdan kechirgan birinchi birlik edi va ba'zi tajribalardan so'ng yangi dizayn muvaffaqiyatli deb topildi.

1983 yilda yaylovlarda yangi omborxona va 1986 yilda yangi zamonaviy sog'liqni saqlash markazi qo'shildi. 1988 yilda ro'yxatdan o'tishning yangi jarayoni qo'shildi, bu esa lagerlarga o'z arizalarida birlik afzalligini ko'rsatishga imkon berdi. 1989 yilga kelib Teondecoren va Ahatsistari birliklari endi lagerlar uchun birlik tanlovi sifatida mavjud emas edi. Biroq, ular hali ham haddan tashqari zaxira holatlarida yoki alohida holatlarda ishlatilgan. Ikki birlik oxir-oqibat 12 ta bo'linmaga ehtiyoj yo'qligi sababli demontaj qilindi. Coed sessiyalari 1989 yilda qo'shilgan va oxir-oqibat alohida jinsiy mavsumlarning mashhurligidan oshib ketgan. Bu ko'lning o'g'il va qiz bolalar tomoni belgilanishi, alohida hammomlar chiqarilishi va birodar / opa-singil bo'linmalari ishlab chiqilishi sababli biroz qayta tashkil etishni talab qildi. 1995 yilda Teondecoren yuqori yaylovlarda joylashgan tepe bo'linmasiga aylantirildi. Ushbu o'rnatish uzoq davom etmadi va keyinchalik tepaylar Chabanel, Raganeau, Brebeuf Flats va hatto Ahatsistari qoldiqlarida paydo bo'lishdi. Maxsus lagerlar 1992 yilning yozida joriy qilingan va keyinchalik sarguzashtlar lageri dasturlariga aylanadi.

1996 yilda lager Amerika lagerlar assotsiatsiyasidan akkreditatsiyadan o'tganida katta yutuqqa erishdi. Blob suzish zonasida 1990-yillarning oxirlarida birinchi marta chiqdi, ammo keyinchalik xavfsizlik sababli olib tashlandi. Mini-lager 2000 yilda yosh lagerlar uchun taqdim etilgan. Yangi ovqatlanish zali 2003 yil yozida ochilgan va shu yilning yozida Coed CIT dasturi qo'shilgan. 2003 yilda ham Ondessonk sertifikatlangan otliqlar assotsiatsiyasining akkreditatsiyasidan o'tgan. 2000-yillarning boshlarida turli xil lager tadbirlari o'tkazildi va qisqa muddatli turli xil sarguzasht dasturlari sinab ko'rildi. 2006 yilda "Lager vaqti" qaytib keldi, bu vaqt yakshanba kuni kechki ovqatda bir soat orqaga qaytarildi va 2008 yilda birodar / opa-singillar birliklari mavsum davomida olib tashlandi. "Haqiqiy dunyoda" atrof-muhit o'zgarib borishi bilan lager rivojlanib borishi bilan yangi tadbirlar va dasturlarni qo'shish davom etmoqda.

Tommy Bear

Kamp Ondessonk 1966 yil iyul oyida Tommy Bear-ni sotib olganida, ehtimol oilasining eng taniqli a'zosini kutib oldi.^[4] Sharqiy Sent-Luis yaqinidagi Omarning "Bikini" klubi ayiqni raqsga tushirish joyi sifatida ishlamay qolganidan keyin sotishni e'lon qildi. Lager xodimlari ayiqni lagerda joylashtirishga qiziqish bildirishdi, ammo ayiqni Bellevilldagi joyidan Ondessonkka etkazish imkoniyati yo'q edi.

Omar Monds ayiqni Ondessonk olishni xohlasa va agar londlar ayiqni etkazib berib, uni lager qurgan qafasga olib kira olsa, lager lashkarni olishga tayyor bo'lsa, uni berishga rozi bo'ldi. Bar egasi, Omar Monds, pivo tarqatuvchi kompaniya egasi Chik Fritz va janob Monds xodimlaridan biri boshqargan Miller High Life pivo yuk mashinasining orqasidagi lagerga etib kelgan Tommi o'zining yangi uyida kutib olindi. keyingi 28 yil davomida yashaydi. Keyingi yillarda Tommi itlarning ovqatlari, lagerlardan konfet va xodimlarning qoldiqlari bilan oziqlandi. Tommi har doim keyinroq qaytib kelgan bo'lsa-da, bir-ikki marta muhofazadan qochib qutulishga muvaffaq bo'ldi.^{[iqtibos kerak ]}

1981 yil 7-iyulda ovqatlantirish vaqtida katakka kirib, Tommining quloqlaridan ushlab olganida, lager qo'lidan engil jarohat oldi.^[2] Lagerni sog'liqni saqlash xizmati lagerda davolagan, ammo keyinchalik yara yuqtirgan. Bu kampirning ota-onasini o'g'li ayiqdan quturgan bo'lishi mumkin degan xavotirga olib keldi. Sud Tommini quturganligini tekshirishni buyurdi, ammo buni faqat ayiqni o'ldirish orqali amalga oshirish mumkin, shunda uning miya to'qimalari tekshirilishi mumkin edi. Tommining advokati tezda mahalliy sudga shikoyat bilan murojaat qildi va qaror bekor qilindi. Tommining taqdiri hal qilinayotgan paytda lagerlar va xodimlar uni qutqarish uchun kurashdilar. Ular tunda qo'riqchilar lagerga kirib, uni olib ketolmasligini ta'minlash uchun tunda patrullar tashkil etishdi. Tommi olib tashlanmasligi va lager qo'shnilari tomonidan hokimiyatdan yashirilmasligi uchun okrug ma'murlari lagerning eng chekka qismlari atrofida o'zlarining patrullarini tashkil qildilar. Nihoyat, ko'plab sud jarayonlaridan so'ng, jarohat olgan lagerning oilasi sud jarayonini bekor qildi va Tommining hayotini saqlab qoldi. O'sha paytda 22 yoshda bo'lgan Tommi lager belgisi sifatida o'z mavqeini tiklashga muvaffaq bo'ldi.

1994 yilda Tommy Bear vafotidan so'ng, Yonah Bear 1995 yil dekabrda lagerga keldi. U Vernon tog'i (Illinoys) atrofida adashib yurganida topilgan va Cherokee-da "ayiq ruhi" degan ma'noni anglatuvchi Yona ismini olgan. Yonah Tommi tomonidan ilgari egallab olingan qafasda, 2001 yilda vafotigacha lagerda ayiq sifatida yashagan.

Ondessonk lagerining ramzi

Kemp-Ondessonkning ramzi - tepadan xoch tushgan doira va uning atrofida sakkiztani ko'rsatadigan ettita yulduz. Shimoliy Amerika shahidlari.^[2] Doira Ondessonk uchun sakkizta shahiddan biri uchun "O" ni ifodalaydi, Issak yuguruvchilar va dunyo uchun. Qolgan ettitasi lager ramzidagi yulduzlar bilan tasvirlangan. Yuqoridagi chap tomonda joylashgan ikkita yulduz tasvirlangan Sankt-Jan-de-Bruf va Avliyo Gabriel Lalemant. Yuqoridagi o'ngdagi yulduz St. Jan de Laland. Qolgan to'rtta shahid va pastki o'ng tomonda yulduzlar bilan tasvirlangan, Sent-Rene Gupil, Avliyo Antuan Daniel, Sent-Nol Chabanel va Avliyo Charlz Garnier. Xoch Masihga bag'ishlangan dunyoni anglatadi. Shuningdek, u "Ondessonk" lagerini Bellevil yeparxiyasidan katolik bolalari uchun lager sifatida boshlaganligi, bugungi kungacha rivojlanib, har qanday diniy bolalar uchun ochiq bo'lishini eslatadi.

Ismlar

"Ondessonk" nomi Huron "Yirtqich qush" so'zi. Bu ism Huron Sitga bergan Ishoq yuguruvchilar u qora xalati tufayli ular orasida jizvit missioneri bo'lib xizmat qilayotganda. Bu mamlakatga juglar 17-asrning boshlarida Amerikalik hindularga Xushxabarni etkazish maqsadida Frantsiyadan kelganlar. U qiynoqqa solinib, keyinchalik shahid bo'lganida, bu vazifaga jonini berib qo'ydi.

Shu vaqt ichida Guron orasida ishlagan yana bir qator jizvit missionerlari ham shahid bo'lishdi. Ushbu avliyolar va ularning amerikalik hindu sheriklari Ondessonk lagerida ular nomidagi lager birliklari, ko'llar va asosiy er shakllari bilan hurmatga sazovor va eslashadi. Shimoliy Amerika shahidlari:

• St. Ishoq yuguruvchilar
• St. Jan de Brebeuf
• St. Noël Chabanel
• St. Antuan Doniyor
• St. Charlz Garnier
• St. Rene Gupil
• St. Jan de Laland
• St. Gabriel Lalemant

Lager atrofida joylashgan boshqa odamlar quyidagilarga nom berishdi:

• Lui de Sent-Foi sifatida suvga cho'mgan Amantacha, Antuan Danielning ko'rsatmasi bilan Frantsiyada tahsil olgan Huron edi. Keyinchalik u Iezuit missionerlarining do'sti va yordamchisiga aylandi.^[5][6]
• Pol Ragueneau, Guron missiyasining bir qismi bo'lgan va Otalar ko'rsatmasi ostida ishlagan jizvit missioneri Jan de Brebeuf va Jerom Lalemant (shahidga tog'a Gabriel Lalemant ) sakkiz yil davomida. Raganoning bo'linmasi uning ismining biroz boshqacha imlosidan foydalanadi.
• St. Kateri Tekakvita Dastlab Ketrin Tekakvita nomi bilan tanilgan va norasmiy ravishda Mohawks of Lily nomi bilan tanilgan, Algonquin va Iroquois mahalliy amerikalik Nyu-Frantsiyadan kelgan ayol va Rim katolikligini erta qabul qilgan. U 2012 yilda birinchi mahalliy amerikalik avliyo sifatida tan olingan.
• Echon, berilgan ism Jan de Brebeuf Huron tomonidan. Bu "shifobaxsh daraxt" degan ma'noni anglatadi, chunki Brebeuf Xuronlar va ularga Evropadan olib kelgan dori-darmonlarga qanchalik yordam berganligini aks ettiradi. Echonning yana bir talqini - "og'ir yukni ko'taruvchi", chunki Brebuf ulkan bo'yli edi va Huron xalqi bilan ishlashda o'z ulushidan ko'proq narsani olib yurar edi.

Ilgari mavjud bo'lgan birlik nomlari:

• Guronning barcha millatlarining eng buyuk boshlig'i sifatida sharaflangan Eustace Ahatsistari Gupil va Koutureni dushman hududi bo'ylab hamrohlik qilar edi, guruh Mohawk hindulari tomonidan qo'lga olingan.^[7] Ahatsistarining ismi, ehtimol, "olov bilan pishiradigan" degan ma'noni anglatadi, chunki u hayotining oxirigacha shafqatsiz jangchi bo'lganligi sababli o'zini qiynoqqa solayotgan Mohawk hindulariga o'q otishga muvaffaq bo'lgan.^[8]
• Guillaume Couture, Guron orasida Isaak Jogues bilan ishlagan frantsuz missioneri. U Iroquois tomonidan pistirmada va qiynoqqa solingan, ammo keyinchalik u asirlarni butun qiynoq davomida chidamliligi va doimiy qadr-qimmati bilan hayratga solganida Iroquois kengashlarining bir qismiga aylangan. U bunday sharafli mavqega ega bo'lgan yagona evropalik edi.
• Guron dorisi Jozef Teondechoren keyinchalik missionerlik qildi. Uning ukasi, Jozef Chivatanxva, "unutilgan shahid" yoki "birinchi Huron shahid" sifatida tanilgan.^[9] Teondechoren Jozef Chivatenhvaning hayoti chog'ida suvga cho'mishdan bosh tortgan, ammo ukasi kutilmaganda vafot etganidan bir necha kun o'tgach, diniga kirgan va akasi sharafiga Jozef ismini olgan. U Chivatenhvaning Huronlar orasida missionerlik faoliyatini olib bordi. Bir vaqtning o'zida u missionerlar guruhining a'zosi edi, u Iroquois tomonidan asirga olingan va qiynoqqa solingan, joglar, kutout va gupillarni o'z ichiga olgan. Teondecoren bo'limi uning ismini biroz boshqacha imlosidan foydalangan.

Birlik

Kamp Ondessonkdagi har bir bo'lim to'rt yoki besh kishilik lagerlar guruhidan va bitta xodim kabinasidan iborat.^[10] Kabinalar, elektrsiz, rustik uslubda joylashgan, odatda old tomondan ochilgan uch devorli inshootlardan iborat. Shuningdek, har bir bo'linmaning o'ziga xos suv o'tkazgichi, tashqi uyi va gulxan halqasi mavjud.

Idishlarni turiga qarab jihozlarni to'rt xil toifaga ajratish mumkin.^[11] Birinchisi, daraxtlar uylari bo'lib, ular A-ramkali tomlari, uchta yopiq tomonlari va barcha kabinalarni bir-biriga bog'lab turadigan podiumlar labirintidan iborat erga o'rnatiladigan inshootlardir. Daraxt uylarining aksariyati o'rmonda joylashgan. Gupil daraxti uylari 40 metrlik jarlikning tepasida joylashgan bo'lib, ularga 75 pog'onali zinapoyadan o'tish mumkin. Keyingi daraxt uylariga o'xshash, lekin yerda o'tirgan Brebeuf kabinetlari. Chabanel g'or birligi sifatida tanilgan, chunki uning kabinalari tabiiy mintoda topilgan qumtosh amfiteatr ostida joylashgan. Ushbu jihoz kabinalari yerdagi platformalar va qalay tomli platformalardan iborat. Yomg'ir yog'ayotgan paytda ushbu bo'limdagi lagerlar tabiiy sharsharadan bahramand bo'lishlari mumkin, ammo ularning joylashuvi tabiatiga ko'ra lagerlarning barcha jihozlarida doimiy namlik paydo bo'lishiga olib keladi. Oxirgi turdagi kabinalar - bu to'rt qavatli A-ramkali binolardan iborat derazalar va eshiklar bilan ekranlangan Tekakwitha Lodges. Aksariyat bo'linmalar xodimlarga qo'shni joydan lagerlarni kuzatishga imkon beradigan xodimlar kabinasiga ega bo'lsa-da, Tekakwitha lojalarida har biriga kichik xodimlar xonasi o'rnatilgan, shuning uchun xodimlar har doim yaqin bo'lishadi. Bu Tekakwitha-ni yosh lagerlar yoki uydan birinchi bo'lib qolishidan asabiylashadiganlar uchun eng yaxshi jihozga aylantiradi. Dush uchun mo'ljallangan uylar har bir birlik yaqinida joylashgan bo'lib, bir nechta birlik dush xonalari bilan jihozlangan.

Har bir birlik Shimoliy Amerika shahidlaridan biri yoki katoliklikning boshqa muhim shaxslari nomi bilan nomlangan. O'zlarining o'ziga xos xususiyatlarining bir qismi sifatida har bir birlik rang va ruhiy hayvon bilan ifodalanadi. Har bir birlik kabinalari, shuningdek, ma'lum bir musiqachi yoki guruhning qo'shiqlari nomi bilan nomlangan. Bo'limlar Echon ko'li atrofida, Sharqda qizlar va G'arbda bolalar bilan joylashgan.

• Jins faqat o'g'il bolalar va qizlar bo'linmalarga ajratilgan mavsumda qo'llaniladi. Qizlar mavsumi va o'g'il bolalar mavsumi davomida barcha mavjud bo'linmalar ko'lning "qizlar" yoki "o'g'il bolalar" tomonida bo'lishidan qat'i nazar, barcha dam oluvchilar uchun ochiq.

Boshqa uyqu joylari

Lager Ondessonkda ikkita qo'shimcha lager yotadigan joy mavjud.

• The BOQ (Boyning yagona kvartirasi) ko'lning bolalar tomonida. U erkak CIT va sarguzasht lagerlarini joylashtirish uchun ishlatiladi. Shuningdek, u erkak xodimlar uchun ortiqcha uylarni taqdim etadi. BOQ - elektr energiyasiga ega bo'lgan yagona lager uyi.
• Ko'l bo'yida ko'lning qizlar tomonida joylashgan. U bitta uzun bunkhouse uslubidagi kabinadan va ikkita kichik kabinadan iborat. U ayol CIT va sarguzasht lagerlarini joylashtirish uchun ishlatiladi.

Avvalgi birliklar

• Jins ushbu bo'limlarga taalluqli emas edi, chunki ular atrofida yozgi lagerning mavsumi bo'lmagan. Lagerning dastlabki olti haftasi o'g'il bolalar uchun, so'nggi olti haftasi qizlar uchun edi. Ahatsistari ko'lning "qizlari" tomonida joylashgan edi va Teondecoren idishni bo'linmasiga aylanganda, u ko'lning "o'g'illari" tomonida joylashgan edi, ammo mashg'ulotlar boshlanganda rasmiy bo'lim ham bo'lmagan. Couture hech qachon ko'lning ikki tomonidagi lagerda doimiy joylashuvga ega bo'lmagan va kerak bo'lganda va qayerda bo'lmasin ko'proq ishlatiladigan "suzuvchi" chodirlar bo'linmasi bo'lgan.

Ibtidoiy birliklar

1969 yilda yangi turdagi bloklar ishlab chiqarila boshlandi; Teondecoren va Couture ibtidoiy birliklari.^[2] Ibtidoiy birliklar lagerlarga lagerdan uzoqda bo'lgan noyob tajriba berdi, ular davomida bir hafta davomida quruqlikda yashashdi. Teondecoren qarag'ay ko'lida joylashgan va lagerga sovg'a qilingan Eski G'arbning Conestoga vagonlaridan iborat edi. Keyinchalik, ibtidoiy bo'linmalar a'zolari daraxtlarga yig'ilgan o'tinlarni bog'lab, erdan 13 metr narida o'zlarining daraxt uylarini qurishdi. Daraxt uylariga faqat arqon zinapoyalari orqali kirish mumkin edi. Teondekorendagi lagerlar quruqlikda yashab, chorshanba kuni kechqurun boshqa birliklar uchun ushbu qismni mashhur tashrif buyuradigan joyga aylantirdilar. Kunduzi ular atrofni aylanib chiqishdi va qarag'ay ko'lida suzishdi, chunki ular tirik qolish qobiliyatlarini o'rganishdi. Birlikning ibtidoiy mavzusiga muvofiq, ibtidoiy qizlar hafta davomida kiyinadigan otxonadan ozuqa qoplaridan o'z kiyimlarini yasashlari ma'lum bo'lgan. 1973 yilda Teondecoren lageri kelgusi bir hafta davomida zahirada bo'lganida va idishni xodimlar oldin dam olish kunlari qurishlari kerak bo'lganida kabinetga aylantirildi.

Couture qurilmasi dastlab pastki Pakentakda joylashgan va chodirlardan iborat edi. Keyinchalik u lagerning asosiy maydoniga yaqin joyga va hattoki bir muncha vaqt Kemp-Yo'l bo'ylab joylashgan joyga ko'chirildi. Couture endi birlik bo'lmaganda, chodirlar lagerdagi boshqa birliklarni kengaytirish uchun ishlatilgan. Ibtidoiy birliklar katta miqdordagi lagerlarni joylashtirish uchun ishlatilgan, chunki har yozda 4000 dan ziyod lager qatnashgan. Ibtidoiy bo'linmalar a'zolari ot otish va miltiq otish kabi tadbirlarda, shuningdek seshanba va payshanba oqshomlarida qatnashish uchun lagerga qaytib kelishdi. Garchi ibtidoiy birliklar oxir-oqibat tarqatib yuborilgan bo'lsa-da, Couture 80-yillarning o'rtalarida kitobni haddan tashqari oshirib yuborgani tufayli qaytdi. Chodir birligi sobiq Chegara bo'linmasining chodirlar mashq qiladigan joyidagi avtoturargohdan tashqarida joylashgan. Lagerchilarni vaqtinchalik bo'linmada turishga undash uchun ularga C uyidan eksklyuziv foydalanish va'da qilingan edi. Ushbu tirilgan Couture bo'linmasi atigi bir yil atrofida edi.

Kashshof sessiyalari

Kashshof mashg'ulotlari 1965 yilda boshlangan.^[2] Garchi texnik jihatdan bo'linmasa ham, kashshof mashg'ulotlari ikki hafta davom etganligi bilan o'ziga xos edi, chunki lagerda qatnashuvchilarga lagerni yanada chuqurroq o'tkazish imkoniyati berildi. Dam olish vaqtida dam oluvchilarga qo'shimcha vaqt va sevimli mashg'ulotlarida qatnashish imkoniyatlari berildi. Misr ko'liga kanoeda bir kechada sayohat qilish ularning yashash joyidagi eng muhim voqea bo'ldi. Kempinglar g'ildirakli yuk mashinasining orqasida Misr ko'lining yarim oroliga borishdi, u erdan esa tun bo'yi lager qilish uchun ko'lning boshqa yarim oroliga kirib kelishdi. Lagerchilar barcha oziq-ovqat va jihozlarini qayiqda o'zlari bilan olib yurishdi. Pioner mashg'ulotlari lager uchun lager uchun erta tajriba bo'ldi. Keyinchalik chegara bo'linmalari joriy qilinganligi sababli kashshof sessiyalari to'xtatildi. 2000-yillarning boshlarida Mega Lager shaklida ikki haftalik mashg'ulotlar qaytdi. Bu lagerlarga ikki hafta qolish va toqqa chiqish devorlari va jamoalar kursi kabi qo'shimcha tadbirlarda qatnashish imkoniyatini berdi. Hozirda bunday dastur mavjud bo'lmasa-da, lagerlar jinsga qarab qancha ko'p mashg'ulotlarda qatnashishlari mumkin.

Chegara bo'linmalari

1970-yillarning boshlarida lager dasturlash uchun Chegara bo'linmalari qo'shildi.^[2] Garchi ularni birliklar deb atashgan bo'lsa-da, "Frontier" dasturi aslida lagerdan alohida tajriba bo'lib, unda ishtirokchilar Yuta, Kolorado va Bagama orollari kabi joylarga sayohat qilishdi. Dastur barcha o'rta maktab o'quvchilari uchun ochiq edi va yozda Ondessonkga qo'shimcha ravishda 2000 ta lagerni jalb qildi. Sayohatlar lagerdan qolganligi sababli, turar joylarga ketishdan bir kun oldin ishtirokchilarga uylar qo'yish uchun to'xtash joyining shimoliy qismida yotoqxonalar qurilgan. Frontier safari birinchi bo'lib Rokki Tog'ning milliy bog'iga bordi. Bunga Estes bog'iga, Trail Ridge Road va Milner dovoniga qo'shimcha sayohatlar, shuningdek, Continental Divide bo'ylab piyoda sayohat qilish kiradi. Yangi ma'muriyat olib kelinayotgani va yozgi dasturlash o'zgarishlarga uchraganligi sababli, Frontier bo'linmalari bekor qilindi, shuning uchun Yuta shtatiga bitta sayohat 1986 yilgacha qoldi.

1970-yillarning oxirida Kumush va Oltin chegara dasturi qo'shildi.^[2] Original Frontier birliklaridan ilhomlanib, Kumush va Oltin Chegara safarlarida mamlakat bo'ylab sayohat qilishni istagan kattalar uchun xizmat ko'rsatildi. Birinchi Silver Frontier safari Florida shtatiga bordi va Daytona Beach, Sent-Avgustin, Keyp Kennedi va Disney World kabi saytlarga tashrif buyurdi. Oltin chegara sayohatlari Karib dengizida kruiz kemasida sayohat qilishlari bilan bir oz farq qilardi. Ular yo'l davomida to'rt xil mamlakatga tashrif buyurishdi. Ular tobora ommalashgan sayohatlar Nashvill, TN., Irlandiya, Rim va Muqaddas Yer kabi joylarga tashrif buyurishni kengaytirdi.

Mini camp and mini camp explorers

Designed with 8 and 9 year old campers in mind, mini camp is meant to be an introduction to the camp experience.^[15] At just three days and three nights long, mini campers are able to get a taste of many of the activities of traditional camp. The mini campers are able to stay in enclosed cabin units, Aonnetta (girls) and Chiwatenwha (boys). Some activities are modified to account for the difference in age of mini campers from traditional campers. Participants of the program stay in one of the units and are accompanied by extra staff members at all times to provide enhanced guidance and companionship for the younger campers. Mini camp explorers is for more adventurous 8 and 9-year-olds who feel capable of spending the entire week at camp.^[15] Because of the extended nature of their stay, campers are able to participate in all the activities of traditional camp in a modified form for their age and abilities. Campers spend their nights in either Chiwatenwha or Aonnetta with staff trained to take on the challenges of younger campers experiencing their first week-long sleepaway camp stay.

Adventure programs

Camp Ondessonk offers specialized programs, referred to as adventure camp, that allow campers to focus on one set of skills in a particular area for an entire week.^[17] The main areas of focus are horsemanship, rock climbing, backpacking, mountain biking, and canoeing. The programs take a limited number of campers and provide them with the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and skills of a particular area. Campers are assisted by two or three specially trained staff members. As with traditional campers, all adventure campers are eligible for induction into Lodge. The adventure programs are divided into three levels based on the challenge offered and skill required by each program. Beginner adventures, formerly known as level one, is the first level meant for campers who want to build their skills while still enjoying a traditional camp experience in the evenings. Campers stay in a unit as in traditional camp. No prior experience in the area of focus is required. Beginner adventures include Horse Camp, Rock Camp, and Hike, Bike, Paddle, and Climb. Intermediate adventures, formerly called level two programs, offer a more intense experience and greater challenge to campers. During an intermediate adventure, campers spend more time away from the main area of camp in the natural areas surrounding Ondessonk. Most nights of the program are spent camping out under the stars in the babackcountryIntermediate adventures give participants the chance to receive more advanced instruction and develop their skills to a greater level. Although campers spend most of their time away from main camp, they do return at the end of the week to participate in the all-camp activities on Friday. Intermediate adventure programs include Horse Adventure, Rock Adventure, Mountain Biking Adventure, and Camper vs. Wild. Intermediate adventures do not require prior experience in their field of focus, hohowever,t is recommended. The final level of adventure programs is advanced adventures, formerly known as level three. This level is recommended for only those experienced in the Ondessonk adventure programs. Advanced adventures offer an intense and challenging opportunity to expand on the skills learned in the beginner and intermediate levels. As with intermediate adventures, campers spend most of their time away from main camp building their skills on the trails around camp. There are two advanced adventures offered, Horse Expedition and River Adventure.

Ot lageri

This program is designed for participants wanting an enhanced experience in horsemanship while still enjoying many of the all-camp activities of traditional camp.^[17] Campers spend their days in the stables learning such things as how to care for and groom their horses, as well as receiving more in-depth instruction in riding skills and general horsemanship. Participants are able to experience longer trail rides than in traditional camp while still utilizing the trails and pastures in the nearby surroundings of camp. Each evening campers return to main camp to participate in the evening activities and stay in one of the units. This is a beginner adventure and is open to campers ages 12–15.

Horse Adventure

One of the longest running adventure programs at Ondessonk, Horse Adventure offers a unique in-depth horsemanship experience for campers wanting an enhanced journey away from the main areas of camp.^[17] Although campers do return to main camp at the end of the week to participate in the final all-camp activities, most days and nights are spent on the trail in the back-country. Each evening, campers help to take care of the horses, cook meals, and set up the campsite. As night falls, campers have the opportunity to relax around the campfire before sleeping out under the stars each night. During the program, campers receive instruction and supervision from CHA (Certified Horsemanship Association) certified instructors that help them to not only expand their horsemanshipskills, but also to develop their outdoors skills. This is an intermediate adventure open to campers ages 13–16.

Horse Expedition

Before its retirement, Horse Expedition took campers on a two-week journey that pushed them in their equestrian skills.^[18] Participants received advanced instruction in horsemanship, horse-packing, trail stewardship, and outdoor living skills as they were led on a backcountry pack trip by experienced Ondessonk wranglers. Campers were able to discover much of the natural beauty of the Shawnee as they rode through the various trails encompassed within the forest. The intense nature of the program mandated prior experience and possible participants must have completed a level one or two equestrian program prior to entering Horse Expedition. This was an advanced adventure open to experienced campers ages 14–18.

Rok-lager

Designed as an introduction to rock climbing, campers learn the basics about climbing knots and safety systems while developing their climbing technique.^[17] Participants have the opportunity to try out the high ropes course as well as having the chance to climb multiple sandstone top-rope routes in the Pakentuck area just outside camp. Following the same format as Horse Camp, participants of Rock Camp spend their days climbing but return to main camp in the evening to be a part of the all-camp activities, and to bunk in one of the units. This is a beginner adventure program and is open to campers ages 12–15.

Rock Adventure

Offering a more advanced approach to rock climbing, campers on Rock Adventure take the basic climbing skills covered in Rock Camp and spend more time on the natural sandstone rocks in the area further enhancing their climbing skills.^[17] Participants experience the highlights of Southern Illinois rock climbing while taking on progressively more challenging routes. In order to maximize climbing time, campers spend their nights sleeping out under the stars along the shores of one of Camp Ondessonk's various lakes as well as in the Jackson Falls climbing area. Rock Adventure is an intermediate adventure open to campers ages 13–16.

Lodge of Ondessonk and Tekakwitha

The Lodges of Ondessonk and Tekakwitha embrace the honor camping society first established during Camp St. Philip in 1957.^[19] Induction into Lodge is the greatest honor for any camper. Induction into Lodge is open to campers, staff, and volunteers who demonstrate loyalty and dedication to camp in an exemplary way, and takes place each Thursday night during the summer in the Lodge ceremony. In order to be considered for Lodge, candidates much show these qualities as well as being at least a second year camper or staff member. Participants of both traditional camp and adventure programs are eligible. Members are divided geographically into tribes, which act independently to give back to Ondessonk through fundraisers or service. Members of Lodge may also attend Fall and Spring Lodge Reunions each year. A member of Lodge is signified by a sash they wear, containing a patch of a simplified version of the symbol of Camp Ondessonk. Girls wear a light blue sash and are “Faithful Maidens of the Loyal Lodge of Tekakwitha.” Boys wear a red sash and are “Loyal Members of the Lodge of Ondessonk.” Both are more simply referred to as Lodge members.

After being absent since the 1970s, the Lodge arrowhead was reestablished in 2007 and can be earned by Lodge members over time through dedication to Lodge. There are also two other honors awarded by the Lodges of Ondessonk and Tekakwitha. The St. John de Brebeuf Award is given to an active or associate member for rendering meritorious service to Camp Ondessonk, the Lodge Honor Society, and the community. The John de LaLande Award is presented to a non-Lodge Member who is part of the Camp Ondessonk staff and feels that they do not meet the proper requirements for membership into the Society but have rendered meritorious service to the Society, Camp Ondessonk, and the community.

Lodge Camp

Participants of Lodge Camp are able to enjoy many of the activities of traditional camp while being surrounded by fellow Lodge members.^[15] Campers stay in a unit made up of other Lodge members and led by a Lodge Official on staff. As part of their experience Lodge Campers participate in rock climbing at Pakentuck, the High Challenge Course, and an extended horseback ride. They also perform a service project for Camp, exemplifying the overall spirit of Lodge. Campers must be a member of the Loyal Lodge of Ondessonk and Tekakwitha in order to be eligible to attend. The program is open to campers meeting this requirement ages 11–16.

Lodge Trips

Beginning in the mid-1960s, Camp Ondessonk began organizing trips to destinations around the world as a reward for members of the Lodge of Ondessonk and Tekakwitha who sold specific quotas of advertisement space for the annual yearbook.^[19] Members were notified by a letter inviting them to participate free-of-charge. The trips took place over the Christmas holidays and went to places like Europe, Africa, and the Bahamas. They were usually 10 to 14 days long. In 1964 the trip left from Miami, Fl., on a yacht and sailed to the Bahama Islands where participants were able to enjoy a Christmas vacation of swimming, beach combing, shopping, and relaxation. The 1971 trip took participants on an Iberian tour through Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. One of the most memorable Lodge trips was in 1968 and went to Italy and Switzerland. This trip included the group attending Christmas Mass with the Pope during which the group was privileged to sit in ambassador seats just 20 feet from the Pope. They also spent New Year's Eve in Venice. The 1970 trip scheduled to tour the Middle East was canceled due to conflict in the region. The trips were eventually discontinued.
