Summer camp for atheists! Yea!!

[ajstavely711]

Finally a camp that is healthy for kids! We need more programs for kids based on science and not "sky-daddy" worship!

Has anyone seen the "jesus camp" documentary? Every adult in that doc should be arrested for child abuse!!!

Thank you for not being a jesus camp of lies.

<3 living in europe. Would probably try to get send home as soon as possible if I was send to one of those weird Godcamps.

Knowing that kind of people I doubt that would be a hard thing to do.

They are raising a generation of militant atheists. In secret they probably target practice on portaits of great christian people. No seriously, this "militant atheist" stuff is bullshit. How often do you read in the papers that "ten die as militant atheists raid the agnostic strongold."

I can't think of anything better. Why didn't this exist when I was a kid? Of course, if it did exist, I wouldn't have been allowed to go, but that's not the point!

Fantastic work you're doing there, bravo!

I was at the camp last year. It was a wonderful camp as camps go. Well, the camp part was. The activities were fun, at least. Not so much the other kids. And by that I mean I was stuck in a cabin with four whiny scene girls who liked to snoop in peoples stuff. And would not shut up. I finally just moved out of the room. I don't really care if they read this or not. Anyway, though it is a great idea for a camp, I think I'll just stay home instead.

Are they active, do singalongs, and other things kids should do at camp? Or do they only debate reason?
