[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a secular camp -- period. We would not be interested otherwise. Our experience this year has been great so far (kids are there currently, so we'll see, but judging by pictures and the communications Ive had with the camp. I believe the camp founders are still involved, but have brought on new directors. As a mom of a daughter who prefers skimpy bikinis, I'm glad they have a rule against them so I'm not the bad guy!

The dress code for girls was not just about swimwear. No tank tops, no crop tops, no shorts that show any, and I mean ANY of the stomach, so if your daughter has a long torso like ours she will get heavily monitored.

But boys were allowed to be shirtless, etc.

Was ridiculous. [/quote]

Wow. That’s absurd. Between that and the “nondenominational prayer” being added to meals, I would reconsider sending my kids next summer. [/quote]

What nondenominational prayer before meals? My kid just spent two weeks there and said there was nothing like that before meals? Was this earlier in the summer? Maybe they got push back and stopped? Or maybe my kid is just oblivious? 😂 we chose it because it was secular, so would appreciate knowing if there is anything religious. [/quote]

My daughter was there at the beginning of the summer and similarly said there was definitely no prayer/discussion of religion at any point during her experience at the camp. (We’re religious/Christian  so it wouldn’t have necessarily have bothered us personally if there was, but of course it’s something that needs to be clearly advertised up front)[/quote]

I feel like some previous posters are bashing CHM with things that many campers just aren’t seeing or experiencing. Our camper had friends who wore tank tops when it was hot, sweatshirts when it was cold, without any comments from staff. There was no prayer before meals. Campers used they/them and it was no big deal. IDK why some campers might feel like they things were happening when others didn’t see them at all. Our kid had a great time at CHM this year. Loved the activities, especially the farm - which is really special, and how welcoming the staff was. Our kid is super excited to go back next year.[/quote]
+1…I mean it’s possible that an individual counselor went rogue and led his/her cabin in prayers, but seems more likely that a parent with a vendetta/someone from a rival camp is just making things up.[/quote]
