100 Best Summer Camp Names You'll Love
Gallery
Nothing says relaxation more than some time out with friends and acquaintances than a camp visit.
Camps are a great way to build and encourage sustainable relationships among the participants. Whether it's for children, teenagers, or adults, the getaway experience does good for everyone.
So, in every camp, there are leaders put in charge of the participants. They are sometimes members of the group or external workers or volunteers for the campsite.
Usually, they are called counsellors or sometimes cabin leaders. When interacting with these camp counsellors you might find out later that they didn't make use of their real names.
Doing so isn't to deceive campers, but to protect their real identity. This is not the case in all campsites though, as in others the counsellors make use of their real names.
Camps are a great way to re-enforce the relationship between people and also foster new ones. Now you can name your potential camp by having back look at some really great camp name ideas.
