Talk:Philmont Scout Ranch camps

message: Proposal Stub articles about camps should be merged into this article.  If they can become at least "start" class, they can be moved out of the article. --NThurston 21:40, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I merged Baldy Town, pls review for accuracy and conformity. All votes were to merge. I vote to merge the rest that are stubs too, make them redirects to here. If they get enough info to stand on their own, leave a summary here with a link back to the main article. Rlevse 10:05, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, I was planning on doing some of that but just didn't get around to it in time.  Thanks! Radagast83 23:58, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge 

message: I like the concept of this page, but it is very disjointed.  I put in a few edits to staffed camps and would like to do more.  It seems that there is little to no agreement on exactly what information should be included for each camp.  Until this is standardized and agreed upon, any description of Philmont's backcountry camps will seem incoherent and a real disservice to the subject.  A few suggestions:  
1. Dump the lists of Camp Directors.  This seems cumbersome, will always be incomplete (how far do you want to go back?), and seems irrelevant to all but a very small group of people (including me and I was a CD for three years).
2. I like the inclusion of map coordinates.  This can easily be expanded to all camps and I will be willing to work on this.  The same goes for elevations.
3. Include physiographic information for all camps (i.e. is it in a canyon or on a mesa?).  Give the reader (most likely a prospective camper or prospective staff member) some idea of what the place   is like.  
4. For staffed camps, a good summary of the program and, in the case of interp camps, how that program is relevant to the history of the region and/or the ranch.
5. History of the name of the camp, if known.
6. A run-down of "amenities" at staffed camps, i.e. wood stoked or propane showers, night programs, fishing license availablity, etc.  Also, any unique considerations such as camps where all trash must be packed out.
7. All descriptions should be written with first consideration to the intended audience- the prospective or past camper or advisor, i.e. the customers of the ranch.
I could probably come up with more, but this is an evolving process, right?  I appreciate the work done on this page so far and look forward to participating in and improving it.  (My resume for this:  Camper for 3 years, PC for 3 years, CD for 3 years, Backcountry Manager for 2 years, Autumn Adventure for 3 years.)

message: would it be a good idea to add another section in here for closed camps? I don't know too many, but if we could identify most or all of them, I think it would make a good addition. Mikeboatlake 23:19, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
