Have you ever watched a bunch of people talk themselves in circles? That's what I've been doing with this thread for the last two years.
I've worked at places that have camp names, and places that don't, and from what I can tell, it doesn't really matter either way. If a camper feels like they need to know your real name to be able to trust you, I don't think anyone feels they will turn to stone if they tell. If a parent wants to complain about you, they can make a complaint and your director will still know whose file to pull up.
It's so funny to me how heated the discussion got. Honestly, a camp name is not that different than Micheal being called Mike by his friends, Catherine being called "Kitty" by her cousins, or Sarah being called "Mom" by her chilren. It's. A. Nick-name.
