Winter Camp Universe * References

Introduction

Over the years Winter Camp has accumulated a lot of history and traditions, most of which are recorded here. This section is probably of most use to those who haven't been to camp, but others may find it amusing as well.

The first recorded history was written for Winter Camp IV when we introduced the Winter Camp book. Since then, we've gone on to create a lot more reference works, some serious, some not-so-serious.
