Hundreds of kids exposed to COVID-19 at Dallas-Fort Worth church camp, parents say

Hundreds of children may have been exposed to coronavirus at a church camp over the past month near Dallas-Fort Worth, according to parents of campers.

Fellowship Church in Grapevine hosted multiple Christian away camps at their retreat center, Allaso Ranch, located about 85 miles east of Dallas in Hawkins. Camps for various age groups started on June 13 and run weekly until July 24. Photos from the camp show hundreds of people gathered in tight groups and not wearing face masks.

At least three parents posted publicly on Facebook that their children tested positive for coronavirus after attending the camp in the past two weeks. One of the children was hospitalized.

Fellowship Church did not respond to requests for comment. Allaso Ranch referred the Star-Telegram to a spokesman for Fellowship Church, who did not respond to a phone call or email.

Okay, is it just me or does anybody else think that sending their children to camp during a pandemic is a stupid idea?

Not going to say anything about karma for the children since it was the parent's poor decision that lead to them getting infected.
