I pretty much never tell them my name! I think in 20-30 weeks at camp I have told like 3 campers. That is not to say my school name (thats what my CIT director calls our "real names") hasn't gotten out. One of my friends when I was a DCA had a brother who was 8 or 9. He liked to tell all the day campers her real name. Well, when we became friends, her brother new my name too and delighted in saying both of our names! Another time i was in a rowboat with half of my campers and I looked up and saw someone I knew sitting in a rowboat. I called her name and she looked up, saw me and was kind of shocked to see me and yeeled out my name. grrr It wasn't her fault though, so its all good!
I don;t like telling campers because then when some of them come back it goes around and then the campers just try to trick me into listening to my name, which I am pretty good at ignoring when I want to!
