quicko: study camps

An oxymoron? Maybe, but Australians actually do them. Or, to be more precise, Christian Australians run them. They're camps where high schoolers come for a week to (get this) study. Generally they're studying for their HSCs (is my acronym right?) -- which are kind of akin to end-of-year exams meet SATs. Roughly. But anyway, on these camps, kids come and study and eat and sleep and play and maybe learn about God. And I don't know for sure, but my impression is they're more academic and less camp -- not so much packing the toilet paper for the nature hikes, from what I can tell. But maybe, who knows. Academic jungles can be pretty rough, too.
