This article completely lacks reliable secondary sources, and I have been unable to find any. Dendlai (talk) 03:52, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Rewrite a well-known international camp, as the list of alumni would indicate. (In checking for refs, in Google News,  there are other camps with the same name--thus my search string.) But the following two should be sufficient to show notability: in the NY Times (a tribute to the founder), and The Christian Science Monitor. Plus . & a number of refs to non-US newspapers from various countries that sent one or more campers & considered it notable. (There is COI:  I went there myself.)

 * I'll admit that I can't read most of the refs provided, since they require payment, so I can't comment on their reliability. I'd say it seems like a small number of hits for a camp claiming huge notability, and many of them seems quite trivial. If somebody who could read them would comment, it'd be appreciated.

 * Keep Strong indications of notability. Needs better references and I see DGG has uncovered some. ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:49, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
