Web postings worry summer camp directors

Summer camp directors have a new scourge, and it is not mosquitoes or impetigo. It is the Internet, specifically sites like MySpace, Facebook and Friendster, where young people often post personal or revealing information
Some camps are banning or limiting digital cameras, fearful that images could wind up in undesirable places online. Some are telling counselors, parents and campers to remove camp references from personal Web pages, blogs or social networking sites like MySpace or Xanga.

[ Some camps, like Camp Fernwood, a girls camp in Poland, Maine, are trademarking their names, logos or slogans so they can legally order others not to use them online. ]
