If you're fond of mystery novels, relish the intrigue of solving problems, enjoy the thrill of scary movies and appreciate a good "who done it," then you'll love this 'spooooky' mystery week. Intrigue surrounds intruders spreading unrest among innocent participants. The dubious villains meet with a tragic end. Become a super sleuth as part of a detective team, deciphering clues for the reward. All the while, you're attending classes on Hollywood motion picture thrillers - their directors, actors and twisted plots; joining discussions on mystery novels, writers and plots that have remained with you for years; and exploring the crossover from novel to movie masters of the macabre.

Lodging, classes, meals and most activities are within the lodge.

Program in association with YMCA Trout Lodge of the Ozarks.

Potosi

The Eastern Ozarks are defined as much by its history and culture as by geology, geography and landscapes. Potosi is one of several rural communities in this region of clear streams, big springs and pastoral scenery. Gently rolling hills, deep valleys and plateaus are home to small farms and an abundance of wineries which dot the countryside.
