is it wrong to send my daughter to bible camp.?

anything to get rid of the kids I say

I think by learning about other beliefs you become stronger in your own. That you actually make a choice versus a default. However, I think she needs to go there with an open mind, but the camp staff or even kids may not be open to her questioning, where they might not take it as questioning but trying to start something.

I don't think so! My daughter has been there twice, because her babysitter's kids go. However, I've become leary of the particular church she went to for it cuz they seem to always be trying to 'recruit' people. The VBS we went to as kids (at a different local church) was nothing like that. I'm not necessarily a church-going kind of person myself, but I don't mind if my daughter gets involved in activities and learning songs and all that. I don't mind if she's exposed to religion in general. She has a great time there.

LMAO @ chickenfarmer!

And like another answer mentioned, if you DO let your daughter go, be sure not to make fun of what she's learned or discourage her. My daughter was very proud of everything she learned - it makes them feel good and there's no harm in that.

It isn't wrong to send her there, but she will come home and during the camp you really shouldn't undermine the camp staff. Even if you don't believe the same, you need to let her talk and learn. If you send her back everyday contradicting the counselors, they will not want her to stay and may not allow her to return.

Does she want to go to the camp? Or, are you seriously just looking for free babysitting? If she wants to go, then let her. If she doesn't, and you are just being cheap, then find a different alternative.

i would think it is ok as long as you dont mind her making up her own mind about those types of things after you send her. she may belive in something you dont and i would not think it would be a big deal but as long as you understand that she will and can have her own opinion about church and after being to a camp like such.

good luck to you.

No..just cause you dont believe you should give your children a fair chance to believe..but when she comes home believing and talking about GOd and the bible dont discourage her..if your going to send her than you need to listen to her..

Well, you can't tell her whatever she learns is wrong b/c you are the one sending her there. Maybe she can make a believer out of you yet.

Not at all, luv. I, for one, think kids NEED a bit of Jesus in their bloody lives nowadays! Either that, or a stint in the bloody army- one out of the bleedin' two! Peace and love! Be lucky! :)

No.Even if you arent christian it might teach some life lessons.Also dont be suprised if she comes home a believer.

Nah, because she gets to score free refreshments, and everyone knows that VBS god's eyes can't be beat.
