A Summer Camp for Grown-Up Geeks
Topic: Science 2:31 pm EDT, Sep 16, 2007

This is the first installment in a new series from Science Magazine and AAAS.

When I was 11 years old, I went to summer camp for geeks. It was my first time alone, away from home and family. By day, we learned how to program computers. By night, we fought epic shaving-cream wars, flirted, scarfed down pizza, set traps in bunk beds, and made friends for life.

... I was surprised to learn that grown-up geek camps are mushrooming across the summer landscape ...

What do you get out of the ultimate growing-up experience when you're already grown up? What sort of grownups go back to summer camp anyway? And would there be a shaving-cream war?

From SummerCon, to SummerCamp, a week-long event ... a massive inter-networked road trip caravan, from DC to SF ...
