Boomis... there is no real harm in telling the campers your real name. But, I think that if you decide to tell them your name, the entire staff should be willing to tell campers their real name. Let's say that I tell my campers my real name, but another counselor won't tell them her real name. This won't be good because campers would be like, "Teenster told me her real name!" and running around like crazy. Then the other campers would get jealous and it would snow ball. (I hope that made sense
)
This actually did happen at my camp my first summer. One of the counselors told the campers her name. When other campers found out, they begged their counselors for their real name. This created fights between campers and also staff.
