What is MCW: Camp Traditions?
MyColorWar will create an alumni web site tailored to your camp community. This "social wiki" web site will allow you to reconnect with campers and staff of the past, bring thousands of hits to your website, improve your search engine rankings and generate potential business that would otherwise be unattainable through advertising. More importantly, MyColorWar alumni sites allow you to relive your camp's finest moments so that summers, memories and friendships truly can last a lifetime.
Through the entire process of reconnecting with your alumni, our team will support you with enthusiasm and genuine interest in helping your camp community. We are dedicated to the success of our product and will lend a helping hand in any way possible.
