It just sounds like a good, cheap alternative to Scout/ Guide camp to me. There are non-religious camps out there, but they are the high end activity ones.
I mean yes, the evangelical churches have their own summer camps - and Jebus is definitely camping with you then. But to me the religious aspect of Brownie camp was noticeable. I mean we would have evening prayers for a start! It seemed quite natural to a practising Catholic, but it was also a kind of drip-feeding of religion to children who probably grew up believing in heaven and God as a kind of benevolent Father Christmas who you made bargains with when you were in a panic. I think it's a great idea for children of like-minded parents to be able to spend time together. You're right Monster, we're not such committed god-botherers here, but you be surprised how often he is invoked in the name of decency, and especially regarding homosexuality. |
