> It was an option at my summer camp: Instead of getting up at seven o'clock we could get up at six, go down to the river(which was usually around 45 degrees or so) and jump in to help us wake up. I did this about two times before realizing how dumb it was.

At Strings Camp we did that. It wasn't a river, though, it was a lake. I remember my friend and I, after getting out from our first swim, couldn't hear, walk straight, or get the blue completely out of our skin until well after breakfast. At Bible camp we went swimming in a different lake. This wasn't an early call, though. That was too cool. [Heh-- no pun intended, but it works pretty well, for one of mine.] Then there's always Portage... aah, Portage. Ever heard of Portage Glacier? It sheds [or used to, it's receeded dramatically :-( ] into a lake... you can't swim in that, you might get run over by a boat, but there are several smaller ones be the campgrounds... that was interesting. All three times.
