A cool morning! Too cold for the lake, so we took a short drive to the Brook Pointe Inn to use their indoor pool. It was ideal for everyone and the Brook Pointe Inn seems like a very nice and economical place stay.

Using a combination of grass and rubber bath toys, Arts and Crafts director Vevan Yang is able to have Campers of all ages create beautiful works of Chinese brush painting...

...like this one.

The fabulous Heritage program continues with a visit from Marco Polo, who presented a history of his relationship with the great Mongolian empire in a flawless Italian accent.

In an amazing coincidence, Khubilia Khan just happened to be in the neighborhood and took some time to explain all about how he really was not a barbarian but was a really nice guy who built yurts and unified China for 90 years.

In another amazing coincidence, the Khubilia-Meister just happened to have his yurt, which he called his gur, pitched nearby so we all took a tour.

How many Family Campers can fit into a yurt? How many in a gur? This is a painstakingly faithful and authentic reproduction of an original gur uncovered by archaeologists in Joan and Jeff Kelterborn's garage.

In order to make a yurt out of common Mongolian household materials (sheep), the Mongols had to card a lot of wool. In this dramatic reenactment, Campers card wool in preparation for felt making which is what yurts are made of.

Campers then proceeded to make felt from wool, just because they felt like it.

Indiana tennis champion Joe Lee gave tennis lessons to all up and coming tennis champions. About half a second after this picture was taken, the photographer was suddenly taking pictures of the sky. (This is a real picture)

Skits, s'mores, and singing are the traditional campfire activites, and we did them all.

As a extra bonus, there was midnight pontoon boat rides through the frigid waters of Lake Wawasee, deftly dodging the ice floes.
