Theme camp vs. camp theme

Forgive me, for i art a virgin...

First year this year, my camp is planning a theme to honor the memory of one of our friends who died this year, so I started looking at theme camp info. Question is, just because my camp has a theme doesn't make it a theme camp right? I mean, our theme as nothing really to do with the BM theme this year and its more for those that already know the connection. I mean I more than happy to share the idea behind the theme with those that don't it, but its not really got anything to do with the BM theme. This being case, I souldn't worry about it being placed or anything right?

I guess I'm a little confused about what it means to be a theme camp and be placed vs. just haveing a theme for our camp that is not in the center of town or whatever. Someone care to clarify this for me?

Go for it. A theme camp does not have to match the theme, just has to have a theme. My camp last year, Ubercarney, did not match the theme.

Go back to the main site and read the theme camp application. That's the process by which you get placed. (ie know where you'll be camping before you camp.) And plenty of placed camps don't match the main theme. This is especially true of the longterm camps. I mean, last year it wasn't "Thunderdome to the Stars!!!" for instance. If you want to go through the application process to try for placement, then start getting those ducks in a row. If you'll be happy just to find a place when you get there, then no worries about theme or intereactivity or any of that.

You don't have to be a registered theme camp, either. If the theme of your camp is just for your benefit, and maybe for the few people who drop in, you can just set yourself up in open camping, and don't have to register or anything. Just making sure you know that you can just plop yourself down, set up your little camp, and not have to explain yourself to anyone. If you don't necessarily want to entertain a lot of people, this may be the way to go.
