Why do they call it a camp? Why not call it a Seminar?

The lineup seems a bit boring except for the last speaker. Love the title!

I wish I could go there. The problem is that I live in NY and don’t want to spend money in traveling. Maybe you could come to NY to give us an presentation.

It sounds like a great camp, but I don’t think I would be able to make it.
