This May Be the Scariest Christian Summer Camp Ive Ever Seen
June 24, 2015 by Hemant Mehta 286 Comments
Ive heard of Vacation Bible School and Christian summer camps in general. But S.M.I.T.E. (Summer Missionary Institute of Training and Evangelism) is brand new to me.
And holy shit. The application is bananas.
The preaching is very direct, HOT! Those that are easily offended need not apply. We only use the King James Version of the Bible. We stand against liberalism, modernism, all forms of rock and roll, country western, and contemporary music. We support and enforce modest dress and behavior. We DO NOT support nor encourage the worlds view of Dating. The typical boyfriend/girlfriend relationships are not allowed at this institute; therefore fraternizing is not permitted. Most activities will have the boys separated from the girls in order to decrease distractions.
Theyre clearly taking precautions after the Deadly Cootie Outbreak of 14.

(46,337 posts)I went to a "liberal" (at least it was a fairly liberal church) summer camp, sponsored by the UCC church.
Got to develop and make prints of phtographs.
Had a blast.
