I really agree that there should be other camps other than ones you have to shell out mega bucks for that arent religious.  But…I dont know if I’d send my kid here.   It is good that there are options I suppose but the fact that this is a new group, w/in the last 10 years, is proof that folks are still looking for answers, even if they want to choose not to believe they are still choosing to believe in something, even if it’s nothing.  Hope that makes sense.   I would definitely want my kids to make the decision about religion that is right for them and hope to not push our beliefs on them.  I want them to believe what they do because they do not because Dean and I do.   but I dont look forward to having to actually deal with it when the time comes, hopefully by then I’ll be more prepared!   I wish I had had a chance when I was younger to explore other ideas but our church at the time and the same church today is very unaccepting of thinking outside of the box.   its their way or no way.    I hope we never make our kids feel that way.   I’m sure the day will come and I hope we can do our best to not hinder their faith.   I’m glad as an adult I am able to choose what is right for me and my family and know we can consider others ideas and be willing to accept and even sometimes agree with others thinking even if it’s not right for us.
