Mount Ashland of Oregon has been running labor camps with 12 to 14 year olds for the past 18 years. Parents drop their kids off in the morning, and kids toil up and down the mountainside learning the joy of sweat in their eyes during manual labor. The Youth Summer Service Program runs from 7:30am to 4:15pm, and gets the kids 20 hours of community service (I presume most of them apply it towards shoplifting charges) and a couple free ski passes for the following year.
