[Tagging] Camps

[John Willis]

Do we really need to tag activity type? 

Religion, sports, or operator should take care of it.  

There's not a a lot of Buddhism practice at my school camp (any at all?), nor would I expect religion to be the activity - it is merely the operator or the thing in common. I bet the people at the Jewish camp are just having fun camping with similar people or many friends as a group. 

Otherwise it is merely a church in the mountains, which there are a few of too.  

The idea of communal_camp, group_camp or theme_camp is a good one - guess the purpose built and operated Boy Scout camps could go under there (as long as it isn't "scout camp", as that is too restrictive)

But the "church retreat" - a building in the woods where you drive up and and stay and do religious stuff (without tents, camping, or outdoor activities). Is merely a church in the woods.
