CITs (11th-12th grade) and Program aides and assistants (7th-12th grade) have camp names. This is because they are leading a majority of the activities for the younger campers they have. I look at getting a camp name as a right of passage. You get a camp name when you acquire a leadership postion, and CITs and PAs are in a leadership postion. Campers that aren't CITs or PAs don't have camp names. Those campers look forward to the day that they get their camp name... they are really excited about it when it does happen. I have had PAs fight over what camp name they would have. Camp names are a big deal to the campers, well at least at my camp.
