Marketplace Confessional

It's probably too late to do anything about it, but I want my word back. That word is "camp." The story about shopping camp at a Louisville Mall was the last straw. I should have spoken up earlier when band and football practices started to be called camps. Then sending kids to sit inside in front of a computer screen for several hours was called technology camp. But now we have passed the point of no return. I want my word back. Camp to me means outdoors, nature, and burning wood. . . . "
