Nope, my summer camp experience was always non-religious.

I went to Camp Young Judea-Texas for the last 4 years. (Not going this year though.)

I only went to one camp, as a child, and I discovered when I got there that it was a Christian bible camp. Talk about uncomfortable.

That's something my mother's family would do to me if they ever found out I wanted to be Jewish. I won't plan on telling them until AFTER I've converted, and have possibly found a mate who is Jewish. Then they can't do anything at all. xp

In my parents' defense, it was the only camp they could afford to send me to, and it was where my best friends from school were going, too. Also, my parents weren't hugely religious. What they were was musicians, as was/am I. Regularly we'd be asked to play for various churches in our little tiny Southern town, and so we'd go just for a chance to perform. I must've sung in every church my county had to offer, over the ten years that I was doing such things. Ages three to thirteen, I barely ever missed a Sunday in church, because I was performing. I bet I'm a better-educated Christian than most Christians out there.

I bet I'm a better-educated Christian than most Christians out there. That is a bit awkward. But I guess it has been a very educational experience for you? I would think that from a young age you would have learned how to deal and live with people of a different religion. Including learning theirs. Thats awesome because well, when they bring it up, you can join in and have a much more informed opinion than I could come up with.. Well, you do that anyways cause you're smart like that. But I would think of it as an experience that did make you stronger. smile As far as summer camps I have been to.. I've done Camp Dora Golding. It was alright. I'm not a huge fan of it.

Er... Something like that. When I was little, going to perform in all those churches, their pastors or preachers would always say things like, "Well, back in the Old Testament, the Jews used to do this... but we don't do that anymore." I got used to hearing of Jews as being always in the past-tense. Consequently, my pretending was always me and my dolls being the last Jews on earth, and we always had to have a lot of babies. (This was before I realized that we'd need some Ken dolls for that.) Seriously -- NO Jews in my entire area. Most people hadn't even met one Jew. So when I moved elsewhere, I would just stare at the men in kippot, wondering. It was an eye-opener, in a very good way. A relief.
