CIT
Counselor-In-Training
CIT's are the unsung and often overlooked heroes of camp. Working for even less pay than the minimal pay of the famed and glorified camp counselor, CIT's are often tasked with the grunt work of washing dishes and working in the kitchen in addition to an hour a day of CIT class and a CIT project, leaving limited time for them to actually be of any use to the counselor and group they've been paired with for the week. All of this they do just for a small taste of the authority and experience of almost being a counselor while still in high school.

Eternal Duct Tape
A legendary roll of duct tape which is capable of sticking to anything and never losing stickiness. However, the possibility of such a roll of duct tape raises the eternal question of whether you would be able to get the duct tape off the roll. Sadly, this is a question which can only truly be answered by discovering the Eternal Duct Tape.

Hogan
An open-air frame structure with tarps covering the windows and doorways. Hogan camping involves lots of wood collection, fire building, battles with resident wildlife, hiking, cooking over the campfire (see Bullseye), and epic amounts of outdoor fun in a rustic setting.
Mime Code
The code of honor all mimes are required to follow. The exact specifics of the Mime Code are known only to those within the ranks of the mimes, however, it has become known that the Mime Code prevents any mime from refusing a Tug of War Challenge.
Whirlpool
A fun and simple pool activity where everyone forms a circle in the pool and runs as fast as they can in one direction and then everyone changes direction at the same time and try to run the other direction causing a whirlpool effect. This process is then repeated as much as desired. The more people the better the whirlpool!
Everyone form a circle in the shallow end and we'll make a whirlpool!
No dying in the whirlpool, please!
