Christian Summer Camp
from Runaway Eve Hosted by Elizabeth Ellen
Did you go to camp when you were a kid? Did your camp experience involve things like being forced to confess your sins and being slut-shamed by camp staff? Mine did. Join me as we relive our Christian summer camp experiences! In this first of a multi-part arc, we will listen to several interesting anecdotes and define the role summer camp plays in the larger context of the culture. Prominent Evangelical voices agree that Christian camp can potentially be damaging—but not for the reasons you might think. I'd love to hear your stories, too. Send them to me on Instagram at @runaway_eve!
