[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I go to church on Sundays and Wednesdays. My husband has been a deacon multiple times and we lead our church marriage ministry. So those are some of my “Christian credentials” for lack of a better term. I’m also a Christian who does not think my non-Christian friends are going to burn in hell. And I believe that being Christian doesn’t mean you are inherently a “good person.”

YL would not be reflective of my values system. I currently attend a Methodist church that is LGBTQ affirming and focused on social justice issues. I would not send my kid to a YL camp because it is not reflective of how I want to raise my kid. My kid has done various church camps/retreats over the years. I do also believe that YL targets the pretty and the popular, which I don’t think is in the spirit of WWJD. [/quote]

Let me add that if my kid was begging to go to this camp, I would talk to her about why I didn’t think it would be a good fit. Honestly, I would be shocked if she still wanted to go. But if she still, really, really wanted to do it, I guess I might cave. But we would have discussions when she returned about what she did and did not agree with and how that fits into our values and the values she is developing on her own.[/quote]
