The schools in my area sent the sixth graders to camp. If memory serves, it was one week shortly before the end of the term.
It was a camp in the Santa Cruz Mountains in California.
When I was in high school, I volunteered to be a camp counselor for one week at the same camp.
I just wonder if they still have that program.
Either way, I totally enjoyed the experience. I got to see poison oak up close and personal.
I avoided it. Others did not.
