Note
Just got back from boy scout camp last week at lake roosevelt. I taught orienteering and swimminng. I set up 4 great courses. the scout leaders told me they really wanted the boys to learn how to use a map and compass. So i used many of the great features in the area. Courses included the use of handrails, attackpoints, collecting features and many other inbeded techniques. Unfortunately, my understanding was wrong. i assumed that learning how to use a map and compass meant getting out and using a map and compass. What THEY ment was endless hours of boring classroom instruction. Not even ONE of the adults went out to try the courses.
What I did learn was that their are great places to practice map and compass work and the winter park events really such for venues. On my trips out in the woods I saw 4 black bears, turkeys, eagles, white tail/mule deer and a moose. The wildlife was great and I had a great week working out between classes while my fellow adults sat around. Every day I was also working my kayak roll, brace, and edging techniques. It was pretty fun to see the looks on the adults/kids faces when I could pull off a roll on demand.

final day - games. On the adult team i got picked to do the swim. I really have no idea how long it took me or how far it was but I was cross eyed at the finish. Adult team lost by a few seconds. Our running dropped a few seconds, i barely held on, and our paddlers closed the gap a bit.
