The Camp

Towns, and the sense of permanence the word evokes, are a relic of pre-Boom America. Today, people live in camps, which can be destroyed in a thousand different ways and deserted for a thousand different reasons. While “camp” usually refers to a settlement, it can also be used to describe a specific group of people, whether or not they currently have an established settlement. When used to describe such a tribe, their name often has nothing to do with the location they currently call home.
