No disrespect C.F.M. but...

I paid some small dues, ($85 for a theme camp) and I helped out everyday, including staying 2 1/2 extra days for strike and MOOP. It was interesting, wild, and fun to join this camp, LOL
(i'll probably camp with some freinds in a loose village type, non-themed camp next year)

I think it depends on the situation.

I asked about one camp I saw and liked, they had huge dues, $300 to $1,200!
I won't say which, but it was luxurious and I think a bedroom community camp.

camp dues that thread seems to peel the onion about fairness in dues.

...not trying to start a thread on the pros and cons of theme camps, just need this article.

Couldn't find it on the BRC Weekly, Shroom or Beacon.

Piss Clear doesn't go after low-hanging fruits.

I resume my former likitude of your screen name.

If I wasn't a little pickier about my tattoos, I'd get them as a band around my arm (the black cut out).
