Secular kid's camps like Camp Quest are specifically made for nontheist (or even anti-theist) kids, and are a counterpoint to "Jesus camps" in the USA. But are these sorts of summer camps a good idea for kids? Will they help teach kids to question long standing traditions and beliefs? Or will they encourage conflict and argument among children too young to really understand what they're being taught? What does the Common Room gang think? Tune in to part #1 and find out! What do you think? Are secular camps like Camp Quest a good idea? Would you send your kids to one? Would you have liked to go to one when you were young? Or are we harming children in some way when we teach them to oppose religion at such a young age? Should we oppose both anti-theist and religious kid's camps until the children are old enough to reason about these subjects on their own? Let us know in the discussion down below! We'd like to thank Samantha, Chelsey, and Alex for joining us!
