s/o Religious/non-religious camp
I was telling H about the post below about whether non-believers would send their kids to church camp and it got us wondering....
If you are religious, would you send your child to this camp?

Re: s/o Religious/non-religious camp
I don't know. I'm not really a fan of camps in particular, but if I had a kid and they expressed interest in going to this sort of camp, I would consider it just like I would church camp.
I would first call and meet with someone from this camp to get a better grasp of what it is they do there. If it seemed 'safe' enough, I don't see why I would have a problem with my kid going.
ETA: I should add that I don't consider myself religious.
Whoo I would have had fun there!
I didn't go to regular camps, but I did go to dance camp! Oh my.
I am not a big fan of camps either, my parents sent me to a few (none of them were religious) when I was little and I absolutely hated all of them.
I will probably send my kids to camps surrounding particular areas (if I must) such as languages, sports or academic...
I don't know that I would. I don't see anything wrong with other peoples' decisions to send their child there...I just know that I want B to be a Christian (like his mom and dad) and I will do everything I can to support his beliefs in it. I will encourage him to educate himself as far as other religions go, I just don't think I'll be inclined to send him to a camp that doesn't fully promote what I'm trying to teach at home. I probably would have no issue with most of it, but I definitely want whoever is teaching/molding my child to encourage and support his belief in God.
I also am not sure about sending him to church camp, either, because all I've heard is people end up losing their virginity in the woods after sneaking out of the cabins.
I would stick with non-religious camps. But this camps seems annoying - like it was trying too hard to not be religious and not be a church camp.
Every time a parent talks about sending their kid to church camp I think about "lost my virginity at falls creek". I wonder if they know...
I wouldn't. If M wanted to go to a church camp I would send her to one that was sponsored by our church. They are close to home and don't cost $575. Plus I would feel safe about sending her because there will be people I knew from our church.
I went to church camps a couple of times when I was younger (from JR. High to H.S.). I did like the aspect of socializing with people who believed the same as you do plus I made great lifetime friends there. What I didn't like about them was the are run by one camp director and that camp is runned by their views.
I remember the last camp I went to the camp director did not agree with mixed swimming and also you couldn't wear shorts or skirts that went above you knees (this camp was in June in the TX hill country....way too hot to be wearing jeans).
