Order of the Arrow set up the Mysterium Compass. The main 2 hour show was only for those under 18, so I don't know what it was, but the boys enjoyed it. There was a huge museum inside filled with scouting memerabilia.

There was a 2 hour + walk through on conservation. Extremely well done and interactive. I even got a patch out of it! Here they are panning gold.

I finally got back the SubCamp 14.

There was a large area about Disability Awareness. I was amazed and pleased to see a huge number of scouts having fun in this area.

Learning to use a walking stick.

Bowling.

How do you get those items out of the cabinet?

The final update today comes from the other side of the area. The boys can learn to sail if they wish. Looked like fun.
