My son wants to go to a summer christian camp?

Question

the weird thing is that he's atheist. Do you have to be christian to be able to go?

I forgot to mention that 2 of his atheists friends are going with him as well.

Well there was a girl involved, about 5 months ago he had this relationship with a christian girl that he had known for a year they were only friends but both liked each other apparently. In the end she told him that he was "spiritually weak" and that she couldn't go out with him. Sorta trumatized him in a way he burned her pictures, rock back and forth in a fetal position in his room and listen to 70's psychedelic music fortunately I stopped him before he did acid.

Answer 1

Well no, I think Christian camp is open to anyone who wants to go and change their lives.

He might come back a changed man! ^_^

Answer 2

Not usually - but he may feel uncomfortable there not having Christianity and its doxology in common with them. Actually; a sound Christian summer camp would reach out to your son and help him have a good time. There are many Christian summer camps operating and many of them have excellent facilities and "hands on" things to do. Fun is emphasized with respect to both, the welfare and feelings of others. Christian Summer camps cater to poor families too , who have no way or hope of ever, going to camp. Hope your son has a "want to go back again next year" experience at camp.

Answer 3

My son and daughter are non believer of God. They still happily go for Christian Camp and never has problem.

Most of the Christians are tolerance, like other religions and atheist.

Only Some are trouble maker.

Answer 4

i've got long gone to Springhill each and every summer time in view that i became like 8. Im 13 now. Springhill is like incredibly relaxing yet its in Michigan. i do no longer understand if its going to tutor him to be "difficult" yet they hve issues like a zipline that is going over the finished lake.

Answer 5

If he's comfortable with the fact that they will try to convert him the whole time, I don't see any harm in it. I'm sure they won't ban him from going just because he's not christian, but I wouldn't advertise it if I were him

Answer 6

God is love. He will never give you more than you can handle.
Would you like to get saved? Ask God into your heart and he will come into you and change your life. You were ment to get this message. All Christains want to take as many people with them as they can into the Kingdom of Heaven.
God is LOVE. And he loves everyone. And he forgives you. Take those burdens that are thriving deep inside of youand give them to him. You dont need them anymore. Pray for those who hurt you and have faith. Good Luck God is love help spread the word, you can save some lifes. and yes you can do it God Bless You

Answer 7

No, you don't have to be a Christian. It's actually good that he's going to Christian camp. If he's an Atheist, that's REALLY good! He might get saved!!!! YAY! If you don't want him to be a Christian, just let him do what he wants. We actually want non-Christians to go to youth events. Yep.

Answer 8

Naa we'd love to have him at ours...and you would at least know that he's being taught not only religion but also good values and more than anything just having allot of fun

Answer 9

either he's curious or he wants to experience the joy of becoming a christian.if he wants to go let him.don't worry the christian camp will be happy to have him

Answer 10

I don't think you have to be christian but I would worry they were planning to be a nuisance at the camp.
