Summer Camp

I've always had an obsession with american pop culture. One of the things that I've seen in countless films/videos/books/etc is the concept of "summer camp". Not the kind where your parents drop you off in the morning, and pick you up in the evening, but rather the kind where they drive for hours to some remote wooded area, and leave you there for weeks at a time. Activities like canoeing, Colour Wars, late night cabin raiding, songs by the fire, making random crap from plastic twine, and trying to avoid the countless mosquitoes fascinate me.

Did any of you go to such a thing? What was your experience?

What if we all decided to do this now that we're older? Sure, there are "adult" summer camps, some having a sex theme, some having an "elder hostel" thing. I'm not talking about recreating that, but rather the same thing depicted above, but with adults. Would we revert to our 12-year-old selves?

Hmm.
