You just gave me awful flashbacks to scout camp. Wow. We had an outdoor shower setup, with 4 partitioned showers that were private with little dressing areas, but were open on the top and under the plastic walls. The center portion was inhabited by a horsefly nest or something - if you picked the wrong shower and turned on the water, they'd start swarming and biting. Definitely ran out of the shower naked and screaming on more than one occasion. Also, I had really long hair as a kid (down to my butt) and I wore it in braids at camp so it wouldn't turn into a rats nest. But at 7, with no mirror, I couldn't part it by myself. So I would unbraid half, wash and condition, then rebraid and switch sides. My counselor once yelled at me because she thought I wasn't washing my hair in the shower since I always went in and came out with it braided. I was so insulted I threw a temper tantrum and made her smell my hair

We never showered in gym though. Our school was built in 1930 and the locker room was never updated, the girls showers were disgusting and were pretty much used as equipment storage. I imagine the guys showers were probably nicer because the sports teams would use them.
