Summer Job/Adventures

So, I'm graduating college this year.

I've spent my summers resume-padding every year since I was fourteen, but now I have my next step mapped out (grad school woot!) and I want to do something different. An adventure, of sorts.

The thing is, I'm broke, so my adventure will have to be the sort that involves earning money, not spending money. No backpacking through Europe.
So... what are some of the most interesting summer jobs you guys have done?

N.B. What I have experience doing: math research (duh), Excel/statistical software/numerical modeling, clerical work, teaching
What I don't have experience doing but would gladly do if they'll take me: helping customers, physical labor, really whatever.

I write about math here:

    It's a summer camp for genius children and they get waaaay excited about the courses they are in. It's very rewarding!

    Maybe you can get a job somewhere fun instead of somewhere at home.

    The summer before college I had an internship with an investment bank in Puerto Rico. The work was meh, but I was in Puerto Rico.
