OA Ocean Adventure Program

The Order of the Arrow Ocean Adventure is a seven-day, six-night program hosted at the Florida Sea Base in the Florida Keys. Throughout this adventure, participants will spend the majority of their time exploring the lower Florida Keys and the surrounding waters. This includes a unique opportunity to camp on a primitive island, where they will learn about its distinct ecosystem and discover its many wonders. Participants will also engage in conservation projects designed to protect and preserve the island for future generations.

The program also features unforgettable experiences such as snorkeling, paddling, and fishing in the pristine, crystal-clear waters of the Florida Keys.

Join the Order of the Arrow Ocean Adventure and discover the best of what the beautiful Florida Keys have to offer!

The cost is $975 per participant, not including travel to and from Florida Sea Base.

Please note that $50 of your deposit is nonrefundable, and once approved, the entire deposit becomes nonrefundable. Do not book travel until you receive your participant packet. The Order of the Arrow is not responsible for any costs associated with travel or changes.
