I'll talk about 'camp this year' (Make Promises Happen's Camp Sunrise 2022) on the forum you can access through 'the bold word(s)' below; but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
#Campus is among the words in the foundation beneath Camp. The word “Campus” is built on ancient words that mean Field (standing on various possible cognates---meaning things like Bending, Bow, Curvature, Corner, |Mutilated, |Lame ... etymologist De Vaan concludes it "could well be a European substratum word from agricultural terminology.")

I appreciate your comment, and I'll probably approve it & publish it soon (give me about a week before you try to post it again when it doesn't publish immediately ... thanks)
