...camp directors allow the e-mail to flow freely both ways. Camp Vega near Augusta, Maine, downloads and prints out about 1,000 pieces of e-mail every summer night and labels, staples and sorts them for after-lunch delivery to its 320 campers. The kids, however, must write letters the old-fashioned way, with pencil and paper. "One of our goals is to make sure children gain a sense of independence.

Coming from the Bible Belt, I was not only raised in a very religious environment (Southern Baptist), but also raised as a very religious person (Hindu). In Augusta, Ga., everyone went to their designated church/temple/mosque on Sundays for some "ol' fashioned religion." While I was aware of certain other faiths, there were only two religions that really mattered: "mine" and "theirs." By the end of high school, I was accustomed to people occasionally looking at the color of my skin...
