ACA Home Forums You Know You are A Counselor When...

A Nalgene is a really strong (supposedly break-proof) waterbottle.

Some camps use real names and some use camp names. We are all sort of unsure on the actual reason behind this, though there are plenty of theories! One is that it prevents post-camp counselor/camper contact. Another is that Mr. and Miss are too formal for the camp setting, but when camps first started first names were too informal. So, camp names were a compromise.

I personally like the theory that it is just fun! but no one really knows!

I love your dedication to this thread!!!!!!!
