New 2023 Camp Names We Love!

“NAME GAME, gimme that name, I want that name!” That’s the sound of a camp cheer we’ve been hearing all around camp for the past few weeks as new staffers were receiving their camp names! Each staffer since 1967 has received their own unique name. These names are always seriously fun, but also a great way for staffers to seek out intentionality and humility with their campers! 

We’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite names from this year’s round of name games for you to enjoy. Who knows—maybe you’ll meet a few of them this summer! 

Starting off, here are a few names with GREAT stories behind them that made us laugh!

• This staffer insisted that a hot dog is NOT a sandwich, but actually a soft taco. He also told a story about how one day in kindergarten, he decided that he wanted to leave class—so he disappeared! The teachers heard the slam of a screen door to find him wandering on the highway! His name? Hotdog Houdini
  
• She loves Chris Evans and the Captain America movies, especially “Captain America: Civil War.” During training week at camp, she was taking a nap in her top bunk and fell off of the bunk and onto the floor! Her name? Naptain America: Civil Floor
  
• Her friends used to call her Uber Chicken because her last name is Ubercken. When she was little, she convinced a friend that her dad was the CEO of Uber. The name “Uberchicken” was too close to another name, so everyone yelled to add a space in the word. Her name? Uber Space Chicken
  
• This staffer was asked if he could have anything come out of his belly button, what would it be, and he said cheese! He is also from Wisconsin and really loves cheese. His name? Belly Button Cheese Boy, of course!
