From time to time I've wished I could go through some sort of boot camp for a solid week or so--either to get me out of a rut or to lose a bad habit--without joining the Marines. This means a full-time, fairly hard-core regimen where you really get worked in all kinds of ways, nicely, but firmly and insistently. Like spring training. Ideally, you would even eat and sleep there. Would anybody else pay for this kind of experience? It doesn't seem to exist. Do you think there is a market to support such a thing or is it just me?

I'm in the second round of interviews for this competitive science summer camp teaching position. This includes presenting a three-minute lesson on anything in particular that targets K-5 kids. My problem: I've never taught kids before, and I'm pretty sure those I'm up against have. What do you think would be a good, short demonstration that gives kids some hands-on experience and that would also blow their minds? [more inside]

I'm tired of being a crappy golfer. I'm 21 and have been playing for about 5 years. My hdcp is 18 and I would like to get down to single digit. Are there golf training (2-12 weeks) camps for adults? Where? Other ideas? I have the time and cash and I don't mind traveling.

Anyone have any experience with Lake Greeley Camp near Scranton, PA? My 9-year-old son is dying to go to sleep-away camp this summer, and we have agreed to try a two-week session. The reviews on CampRatingz.com for this summer camp are very favorable, and the programs listed on their website sound perfect for him (plus they have a first-time camper guarantee). Still, I would love some independent confirmation that Lake Greeley is as good as it sounds.
