Mystery Beach

Swimming, swimming
In the Swimmin' Hole
When days are hot
And days are cold,
In the Swimmin' Hole.


- from an old camp song.

This is Mystery Beach, from 1938 through '41, when it served as the Camp Meany Beach for Cubs. True to their Indian lore emphasis, the Cubs checking in here at the buddy board have the option of wearing swim suits or breech cloths (or even underwear!). The shadows tell us that it's late morning -"Eleven o'clock finds the anticipated swim period when all report to the beach..." (Cedar Chips, June, 1938).
