[quote=Anonymous]There is a very active Young Life chapter at my kids' NoVa middle school/high school.  It is saturated with many of the sporty/popular kids.  My kids have all had varying levels of involvement over the past several years mostly due to the fact that they have friends who are very involved and they offer fun activities.  One of my kids has gone to a weekend retreat with the group and my youngest has gone twice to an overnight excursion.  Here is my takeaway:

They absolutely do promote anti-LGBTQ ideology (my kids are staunchly pro-LGBTQ and this bothers them immensely - some of their friends eat this stuff up too). This is the #1 reason why all of my kids have lower levels of involvement with the group despite the fun activities that are regularly planned and the amount of friends that they have that are involved

When it comes to overnight retreats or camps with the high school ages, I would not worry about the things you outline above, I would worry much more about the sexual activity that occurs between the campers.  My 17 year old who tells me pretty much everything has said that almost all of her friends who go to YL retreats and camps have had sex or lost their virginity during YL excursions.  Apparently it's rampant and there is plenty of unsupervised time for the kids to go off and do their thing.[/quote]
