...spice up lecture, despite the fact that they discuss merry subjects such as delinquency and self-injury. There’s nothing like a presentation on bulimia to brighten your day, eh? Assignments are minimal and include keeping a short journal (tip: listen to Britney Spears' super-hit Dear Diary for inspiration). The biggest perk of the two required papers is that students have enormous freedom: you can analyze Napoleon Dynamite, a teen self-help book, or even your experience observing resumé-padding high school kids working at a soup kitchen.

Many of her classmates will be spending their summers racking up achievements, while Robson will be collecting and recollecting, in a very old-fashioned way, memories. "Camp is very dear to me," she says, and she's prepared to give up whatever edge a more intense summer might give her. "It's a time I get to recharge from a pretty stressful school year. If I spent the summer taking extra classes, I would just be worn down by the time school...
