There's been a bit of discussion earlier on about how a camp name let's you truely express yourself at camp, let's you *be* someone different. To that I say, why can't you be who you really are, regardless of the name? When someone goes to camp, they should feel able to let their true self out, and express themselves however they see fit.

I'm not AGAINST camp names, definitely not in favor of them either. I wouldn't ever take one, but can't hold them against anyone else, either. Camp names are just another tradition that many camps have. It just so happens that this tradition is one that is common to many camps across the country. I wouldn't ever get into an argument about the propper way to hold a closing campfire, or run an all-camp game -- there are diffent traditions at each camp, and each camp has its own traditions that have served it well.
