Boooring. I bet none of these camps let you chop down trees on your friends tent while they were sleeping; trap and eat wild game; free climb a 200 ft. rock wall, and swing naked on a rope 50 ft. over a lake into a waterfall like I did camping with my friends as a kid. Oh yea, the best part was raiding the rich kids camp down the road one night and scaring the crap out of them.

Oh please, this is nothing new. The wealthy have always been sending their kids to places like this for the summer. They can afford it and it solves that age old problem of being bored by mid July.

Inciting more class war provocation I see MSN.  We are aware of these facts already and us working class poor do not believe that all who have means, are like the top one percent who run the show and have stacked the deck against the impoverished.

The simple truth is, it takes money to make money. And with the planned devaluation of our dollar, by the crooked elite, it is less likely than ever before for a working class poor man to ever break free of debt and achieve middle class status.

All wealthy are not evil...and all poor are not stupid. What's your motive MSN?

Stupid article' everybody knows that our country is owned by the Super Rich. They can steal millions and only have to pay a fine,they get laws passed in their favor by using big donations to political parties.they are responsible for most all the laws that get passed,they can use insider trading tips and it is overlooked or excused.they have the best roll out the red carpet insurance and are treated better at the hospitals,they created a electoral voter system to thawrt elections instead of taking the actual voter count nation wide which clearly projects the peoples choice. If people dont know by now who is running this country show they would have to be morons.
