No, you misunderstood again. I meant, it's typical association with working camps and Soviet Union. However, pioneer or summer camps for kids are the same, as in USA (or almost the same). E.g. it's fun and different kind of activities, no labor.

>Well, in that case it is not like our summer camps at all. Our summer camps are supposed to be fun-filled exercise and games camps for our children. What they really are is 24-hour daycare in the summer. If labor was involved, well I can hear the outcries (and suits) already!

>>>>>>>>>>Hi Jim, even though I replied already, I just noticed the detail in your title of this thread: hot lunch (some call it dinner). This is interesting because growing up in Wisconsin, dinner was the evening meal or referred to as we usually called it: supper. Here in NC, dinner is lunch or supper, you only know by the time of day it is!
