Debuting July 28 with two consecutive hourlong episodes, ”Amish in the City” will follow five Amish youth sharing an ultra-modern house in the Hollywood Hills with six young urbanites, UPN said on Thursday.
It explores the Amish rite of passage known as “rumspringa,” in which young people leave their communities, and the supervision of parents, to experience the outside world before deciding whether to remain with the sect as adults and become baptized.
Isn't rumspringa supposed to be like Spring Break Cancun, only for a year?

There was a documentary on it on Showtime about a year ago, called Devil's Playground. The Amish kids party pretty hard, but apparently most of them go back to the Amish way after the year. I think you can get the documentary on Netflix now.
