Hey Bill,

The legalities of this, as Gregory said, can get very hazy regarding who 
owns what and what they are and aren't allowed to do with it.

That's not the angle I would look at it from though. I'd ask myself two 
questions.
1. Is it really going to hurt or inconvenience me to store these photos in 
a private location?
2. Is the good relation with the camp worth sacrificing to keep the photos 
public?

Additionally. I'm sure as a camp counsellor you weren't taking voyeuristic 
photos of people you don't know. The photos would be of people you know and 
interacted with. Ask *them* (or their parents if they're underage) if they 
mind you having these photos online. Or some of the photos anyway.

regards.

PS Gregory, the 6th and 9th photos on your site are really great!
