Campers and Alumni Share Thoughts on Lamp of Truth
By Ben Woods
Halfway through our quest to discover what the Law of the Woods means to our camp community, the lamps of beauty and truth are burning brightly. Here’s what our campers, staff and alumni had to say about the Lamp of Truth and its three rays: “Speak true,” “Play fair” and “Be reverent.”
Speak true
“Speak true — Word of honor is sacred.”

Play fair
“Play fair — Foul play is treachery.”
