LDS camps are doing just fine. This must say something about the growth of the LDS Church and the decline of Baptists and Prespy's. The caravan moves on.

What do you base your comments on? LDS camps are feeling the effects of less campers and tighter budgets just like other religious camps. Do YOU work for a camp? I know people who do, and they say it's one of the toughest times to get kids into camps (Scouts and otherwise) since they're being pulled by other interests in every direction. Religious preference has nothing to do with it. Stop spreading divisive drivel on these boards and say something worthwhile.

I think Nathan was being facetious.

I think Nathan was being prideful and narrow minded. My personal feeling is that these camps are wonderful ways of strengthening our religious belief systems. You want tongue in cheek? How about some Obama dollars to solve this problem.
