"Procreation Camp"
Posted over at Musings of a Pertinacious Papist: 
With an eye on Russia’s dismally low birth-rate, a youth movement run by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s Kremlin sponsored a “procreation camp” this past summer. Held 200 miles from Moscow, the two-week camp was reportedly attended by 10,000 uniformed youngsters. Following instructions in physical fitness and exercises, couples repaired — or should we say “paired off” — to a special part of dormitory tents arranged in the shape of a heart, which was called the “Love Oasis,” where they were encouraged to start “procreating for the motherland.” The camp culminated in a mass wedding of twenty-five couples, who were ready to make the “ultimate expression of devotion to the motherland” (The Daily Mail, July 29, 2007; quoted by Michael S. Rose in “The News You May Have Missed, New Oxford Review [October 2007], p. 37).

One wonders if it wasn’t a 15 year old boy who dreamed up the camp’s main concept.
Then again, the same 15yo boy would likely not include marriage as the finale of “Love Camp…”
