Structure
Directors: Every camp has one or two directors; the job of the director is to make the camp run smooth and mostly safe without losing the free-spirited and cosy experience of the camp. Each director has to be trained before becoming one. The first director-training camp was held at the Buochs in 1966.
Executive Committee: It was found in 1992 and consists of three members (past or present directors) who serve in three year term. It is the support for the directors when needed during the year, when planning- or during camp.
Christmas Conference (CC): The Christmas conference is a decision making body of LPC. It is a week long conference of directors, where they discuss issues and agenda-points from previous camps and plan the upcoming camps.
The Board of Governors: It is the legal entity of LPC. Its main job is to fund-raise, organise LPC-picnics and host campers before camp in the USA.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
“Agnosticism is a perfectly respectable and tenable philosophical position; it is not dogmatic and makes no pronouncements about the ultimate truths of the universe. It remains open to evidence and persuasion; lacking faith, it nevertheless does not deride faith. Atheism, on the other hand, is as unyielding and dogmatic about religious belief as true believers are about heathens. It tries to use reason to demolish a structure that is not built upon reason.”
—Sydney J. Harris (1917–1986)
“When a house is tottering to its fall,
The strain lies heaviest on the weakest part,
One tiny crack throughout the structure spreads,
And its own weight soon brings it toppling down.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
