I have felt that camp names are fine. I though believe that if a camper or parent asks for your real name then you should give it. What is the harm in saying I go by JumpinJeehosephat at camp and that's what I'll answer to and outside of camp my real name is Gonzo and that's what I'll answer to then. Really, what is the harm in doing that?

Traditions are fine. Yes there have and are harmful traditions out there. Yes, some traditions are cultural based or society based and if you are not part of them then you may believe it's wrong. I mean there are cultures that say the men all have the final say and the women only take care of the family. I may not believe that's right but I did not grow up in that tradition.

Traditions ..... another topic to go into...
