Christian Camp

[greggh]

Anybody hear about the new movie "Christian Camp"? I just saw it mentioned on Digg.com with a link to the trailer.

I hadn't heard of it at all, but I went to the link you posted and watched the trailer.

I'm not sure what to think.

Is it meant to make out christian children's camps as good things or bad things? I'm a little confused. The music that was used and the sound clips of that lady's voice tone seemed to give it a rather negative feel, but I could be totally wrong.

What have you heard about it, greggh?

What have you heard about it, greggh?

Not much. The reaction to the trailer on Digg was very negative.

I got the name of the movie wrong, it's Jesus Camp. From the trailer, the camp shown looks very extreme. But, you have to wonder just how common this type of church camp is... probably not that common. I wonder if they make that clear in the documentary.

Yeah, that was one of my first thoughts as well. I grew up in the Assemblies of God denomination and church was a huge thing every summer, but I don't recall ever hearing about a camp like this. in some aspects it would've probably appealed to me a lot more than big-ball kickball and volleyball.
(never have been much into sports...)
But like I said before, the clips shown in the trailer made it sound like this keep-your-children-and-loved-ones-away-from-christian-camps-period. and if this camp was mostly about getting children and young people excited about Jesus and teaching them to pray and whatnot, I don't think that's a bad thing. But if it was one of those camps that teach about "Jesus" and is really just some extremist group that's fallen off of a little place I like to call reality, then yeah...

Wow...the discussion board you linked to was...um...interesting.

As were some of the YouTube clips they linked to.

Sometimes you just don't realize what humans are doing or thinking. *shrug*

Looks disturbing. It's like they're brainwashing these kids.

Well that's exactly what they're doing. It's sad that these false christians keep having to corrupt christianity and give us a bad name. I'm quite ashamed to have them on our side.

Hi dear! I am a great fan of Christian movies. I will surely watch it.
