I just think that if OP's husband has not converted as I suspect, it would add to MIL confusion why bible camp is out of question. 
The father himself is still Christian it seems by choice. So why can't the kids at least be exposed to the roots of a parents and grandparents believes?

You, and many others on this thread, are overlooking the crucial fact that the father of these children agrees with his Jewish wife that the children are being raised Jewish.  At no point has OP said anything other than that her husband fully supports her.  So why do the grandparents get a say, if that directly conflicts with the parents' wishes?  It may be the grandparents' beliefs, but it is not the parents'.

And, to address a point that others have made, raising children in a religion different from the grandparents, and resisting the grandparents efforts to educate the grandchildren in those beliefs, doesn't automatically equate to rejecting the grandparents.[/quote]

Naturally, the grandparents don't get a choice. We are talking about exposure via camp. We are NOT talking giving up the chosen religion. [/quote]
