Hence, the null pointer exception.
This is your problem right here. You request /addCamper which validate='true'. Because of this, Struts will always call validate(), and so calls to your getters will be made. Since your getters rely on camper, and camper is null, you'll get NPE's each time. The quickest way to fix this would be make sure camper is always available before your getters are called. The better way to fix this would be to use a different action that doesn't require validation if you don't have data to validate.
