How cool is this?
« on: 2008-02-29, 16:41:29 »
Knight for a Day Camp

http://www.oakeshott.org/camp07.html

It's basically day camp for little kids put on by the Oakeshott Institute. I'm so jealous of those kids... I would have loved to do that as a kid! Heck, I'd love to do that now.

That's absolutely awesome! I'd have loved that as a kid... I did get to go to spacecamp though... I want to have my cake and eat it too, is that too much to ask? :)

Check this out:   http://www.rmdk.com/rmdk.html  -- It's a sort of framework for raising a child with chivalrous ideals and culminating in a knighting ceremony as a "coming of age" sort of thing. Interesting idea.

Oh, I hate you! I wanted to go to spacecamp so badly when I was a kid...

You're going to hate me even more because I went twice. I went at the high school level, so I was an older kid. :)

Hehehe... Actually, I forgot to add that the high-school level of it is where it's all at... 24-hour simulation, a full week of hands-on stuff, several smaller 2-hour simulations, free-run of the museum, etc. :)

Man, I am so sneaking over to your place, Ed, and taking your head to gain your powers. Your SpaceCamp powers.

Okay, the nerd level is rising fast.

I'm sure Sterling had to have been used as a burial ground or something by someone at some time, so uhm.. I'm protected by holy ground! :)
