N- necklaces- earning beads and all for activities and for years at camp (my new camp has them!)
KP is Kitchen Patrol- it's the setting up of the tables and at least at my old camp it's wiping down the tables again after the meal and sweeping.

P- Passing plates to another foot at another table (at my new camp we call it stacking I believe, but my old camp calls it passing)
Kapers at my old camp (and my new camp too, I believe) is chores. So KP would be the all-camp kaper for that unit for that day.

S-sleep-in breakfast
maybe with the older kids, but those 3rd grade boys do not want rest hour...
and of course the minute I saw that you posted an R I thought of one- "'round the tables s/he must go" on their birthday at my old camp

X - X (cross) Country Skiing in the winter camps! My camp as a kid had a course, but we never once used it during winter camp. It would have been very fun! Also the only X thing I could think of...
