Edit: I looked at the source though and I don't see anything else clickable in the cave... No hidden secret badge either, maybe it is just for ambiance.

There’s talk of the tent near the beach, the gong, and gathering at the big fire once you hear the call. There’s also talk of the cave, the star map, trusting the bats, and reading the right side of the book carefully. Though it seems to me the audio may be outdated and that the star map was initially in the book and was since moved to the telescope.
The right side of the book mentions the time 8:47.
If we look at the star map, only two of them are pointing inwards. If we consider that a “convergence point”, it should be around the area of the big fire and tent.
That’s as far as I’ve got with this.
I was thinking the "convergence point" was the center of camp with the sign since that's where all the paths meet up and the book mentions something about that. The radio also says "I just put a sign on it".

He also mentions he wrote it in 1967 but the book says 1987
here's the star map fwiw https://neal.fun/cursor-camp/optimized/maps/telescope.webp, there's a convergence point already labeled.
And for reference here's the map of the camp: https://neal.fun/cursor-camp/optimized/maps/treehouse.webp
Why do you say the point corresponds with the fire, to me it seems closer to the dance studio
edit: First of all, the entry on july 3rd 1987 refers to the first group (also reffered to as the first session), from the point when they arrived. Given that its also said that this is the second session and that the convergence has always been scheduled, it can be assumed that it will occur at the same time.
Timings:
When you turn the radio to the right, the audio states that (waterfront) activities begin at 8:00. Additionally, the left recording states that if a gong is heard, the cursors gather at the fire. The right page on the book states that the group clustered at the fire ring within the first hour, which implies that the gong bell was rung between 8:00 and 8:47 when they went to the cave.
Convergence points:
Second of all, There are 2 possible covergence points. The cave, and the point where the sign has been placed. All of the built paths in the camp converge at the sign, this was intentional. Additionally, comparing the star map to the physical math implies that either the sign or the music area are the convergence point. Given that tge convergence point was verified before breaking ground and we literally spawn at the sign. It's likely that the sign is the convergence point.
However it is also said that all the natural paths run towards the cave, and not away from it which is noted as strange. On top of this, the july 1987 entry states that although the observer had never mentioned the cave, the cursors ended up visiting it anyways. The audio recording states that the caaves are free to visit, but it is reccomended to stay on the marked path and to stay close to camp, since the natural paths lead to the cave and the speaker attempts to divert campers attention from the cave in session 1, it is possible that the cave is a point of conversion, if not a place of significance.
Anomalies: 1. The speaker emphasises that it is always a beautiful day at the camp.
2. If at any point a gong is heard , gather at the fire. matched with the cursors gathering at the fire within the first hour on july 3rd.
3.stay close to the camp, joint with the eye abduction. (image of eye also seen at treehouse and trophie room)
4. Image of sandtimer in cave and also sand timer in sauna could be related
3. Image of butterflies in cave, matched with the lack of butterflies in the area marked with butterflies (just though this could be relavant)
4. "the cafeteria will serve what it always serves", feel free to correct me, but the cafeteria is the one place on the camp where the food does not affect you, so if the menu in the cafeteria changes, that could be important.
conclustion from anomalies:
Since the first activity is at the waterfront, and the gong was rang within the first hour. It is possible that the gong was rang due to bad weather, as that would effect the activity. so it's likely that many of the mentioned features may change on july 3rd.
This is as far as i've gotten, it's highkey just a theory anyways.
