Remember the joy of the last day of school? No more pencils, no more books, no more teachers’ dirty looks!  

Did you head off to a pristine lake somewhere—as a camper,  counselor, or waiter—for a season of bugs and bug juice, friends and frenemies, cabins and canoes? Maybe you were the only kid in the neighborhood who didn’t attend camp, or perhaps you were a parent, suddenly free for four weeks.
