I work at a girl scout camp and we use camp names. I think that they are a great thing and a great tradition of camp mintahama.
I believe that camp names make the counselors less intimidating to the campers.
It cracks me up to no end when one of my school friends looks through my phonebook on my cell and sees all these weird names like Boomer (my boss), Speedracer, Skittles, Harmony, Skyger, Tecko, Pantsu, Spikez, Bowie
I wouldn't change the camp name tradition for the world.
Everyonce and a while, I'll be out shopping or on a school performance trip and I'll run into campers and they'll get all excited and start calling me Jazz or heaven forbid JazzyPants..that's interesting to explain to your band director.. :p
