Summer Explosives Camp?

Even the name is cool.

ROLLA, Mo. — Camp Winnigootchee was never like this.

A group of high school students stood at the edge of a limestone quarry last month as three air horn blasts warned that something big was about to go boom. Across the quarry, with a roar and a cloud of dust and smoke, a 50-foot-high wall of rock sloughed away with a shudder and a long crashing fall, and 20,000 tons of rock was suddenly on the ground.

Awesome, with a side of awesome and covered in awesome sauce.

I wonder what the age limit is? (H/t: Instapundit)

No surprise here. Rolla is home to an excellent engineering school. Out in the middle of nowhere, unfortunately. With a student body composed 95% of men, what else are they gonna do during the summer?
