I can also understand how the camp can be important but I'm not so sure about what they are churning out the kids to be and do. I have some trepidation about creating a Christian camp patterned after radical, Islamic camps in other parts of the world. I think this is another example of some of the overkill and amplification that some evangelicals can do.
