R- U- ever- 2 old for camp?

What does it say for me when the most exciting thing going on in my life right now is SHARK FEST 2008 on the Discovery Channel?? Pitiful! When I was younger, my parents sent me to Girl Scout camp for a couple weeks each summer to break up the boredom. Canoeing, swimming, hiking, snipe hunts, campfires, s'mores, kumbyah... Good stuff!

What about summer camp for us grown-up kids? I did a little research(in between shark shows, of course!). Here's some of the options still available:
Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp: You can jam with celebrities, play in a sold-out concert venue with rock legends, hang out with other rock musicians at the hotel and even go on tour! All of this for a mere $2,000 per day or $8-$12 for a 4 to 5 day stay(depending on add-ons). For more information:

For the Braveheart in all of us, there's Gladiator Training: this is a 3-hour course offered through the Hilton in Cavaleri, Rome. This experience will set you back $760.00.
How about a little bonding time with an elephant? Elephant Mahout Training is available for only $2,150 per night in Northern Thailand at the Four Seasons Tented Camp!
Wine fanatics can harvest, crush, and blend their own wine during this wine making camp in Sonoma and Napa, CA. Cost is $950 per person for 2 nights and 4 meals. For more info: 707-967-5288. This is at the Diageo Chateau & Estate.
