ROW 643 · LEG 95 ITEM 11 · BOUNDARY, NOVEMBER 2026

Both halves of this row are about rooms and grounds that were never Osceola's, used by children who were. Camp. No camp seated in or run from this town is documented — no church camp, Scout camp, or day camp of Osceola's own stands in the record reached. The camp of the valley's record, at boundary size whole, is YMCA Camp Eberhart: founded in 1909 on Corey Lake at Three Rivers, Michigan, as a gift of the Eberhart family to the South Bend YMCA in memory of Harris Eberhart, killed at seventeen in 1909; run by what is now the YMCA of Greater Michiana; among the oldest continuously operating YMCA camps in the country, and the first YMCA camp to offer a summer program for young women, fully co-educational by the 1970s, on some 200 acres with over a mile of Corey Lake shoreline, serving campers aged roughly 7 to 17. It is Michigan ground and South Bend's institution; it prints here because “away to camp,” for a Penn Township child across the whole century, most documentably meant Eberhart — stated as the valley's documented camp, not as a proven Osceola enrolment figure, which no record reached supplies. Church and school camp use beyond Eberhart rests in the township-ring congregations' and schools' own records, unsettled here and named as this article's settler for any named camp beyond Eberhart.

The children's room. No library seats in this town — the audit's premise, confirmed across the banked build — so no children's room of Osceola's own exists to carry. The room Osceola children use is the Mishawaka-Penn-Harris Public Library's, in Mishawaka, owned by that city's build and its library leg, printed here at boundary in one line: the corporation that schools the town's children also libraries them, from across the line, and the children's-room course — its rooms, programs, and summer reading — is MPHPL's to tell whole. Closure: DUG at boundary — Camp Eberhart (1909– , Corey Lake, Michigan) carried whole at boundary size as the documented camp of this valley's children, no Osceola-seated camp found; the children's room prints as Mishawaka's MPHPL at boundary, with church and school camp records named as settlers for any further named camp.
