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.

DAD:
There are Jews in the world.
There are Buddhists.
There are Hindus and Mormons, and then
There are those that follow Mohammed, but
I've never been one of them.

I'm a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics is:
They'll take you as soon as you're warm.

You don't have to be a six-footer.
You don't have to have a great brain.
You don't have to have any clothes on. You're
A Catholic the moment Dad came,

Because
