[quote=Anonymous]Op here - we cancelled our trip and DH had a long discussion with his parents about how angry we are. They go to a huge Bible church in Virginia, not that it matters much, but I get the sense that this is just the latest attempt to push Christianity on us. We have had the same conversation for many years, DH and I agreed 12 years ago that we would be a Jewish family and we haven't wavered. He's not religious and I am, both spiritually and culturally. Our last major blowup with them was years ago when they tried to arrange to baptize our kids and we had a very frank conversation about why we were not at all ok with this.

We've had this trip planned for months, they offered to take the kids and we had arranged for afternoon swim dates with a babysitter to give them breaks, and have had several conversations about activities and things we could do to make it a great trip. To spring Bible camp as a done deal on us a few hours before we left is inexcusable. I am furious. After a 12 year relationship with them I cannot believe they have such little respect for the choices we've made for our kids. I agree my kids can learn about other religions but not at surprise Bible camp.[/quote]
