They describe how they remember their tent setup and the general layout of the Tent Colony, as well as some of the competitions that took place there. They recall various memories of their time in the Tent Colony, including a near-death incident Sue had by the pier on Lake Mendota, before discussing topics such as their family’s responsibilities around the Colony and the Colony’s various rules.
