Explosives Camp

Posted by samzenpus on from the if-you-love-something-blow-it-up dept.

theodp writes "How about a summer camp where you get in trouble for not blowing things up? Students with a passion for all things explosive and proof of US citizenship pay a $450 fee to attend Summer Explosives Camp, 'We try to give them an absolute smorgasbord of explosives,' quipped a professor at the University of Missouri-Rolla, which offers a minor in explosives engineering. Here's the brochure (PDF), kids!"

    I wonder if the kids can get a package deal and go to Jesus Camp too

    This is the best and worst idea I've ever seen at the same time.
    On the one hand, you have explosives, which are really fun to play with.
    But on the other hand, it is illegal without a licence, and for a very good reason, and to give this knowlegde to unlicenced kids?
    If kids weren't "bad" enough, you train them to run around and blow stuff up?
    If those kids get a little "inspiration" from CNN, you've got a problem.
