Did you go to camp when you were a kid? Did your camp experience involve things like being forced to confess your sins and being slut-shamed by camp staff? Mine did. Join me as we relive our Christian summer camp experiences!\nIn this first of a multi-part arc, we will listen to several interesting anecdotes and define the role summer camp plays in the larger context of the culture. Prominent Evangelical voices agree that Christian camp can potentially be damaging\u2014but not for the reasons you might think.\xa0\nI'd love to hear your stories, too. Send them to me on Instagram at @runaway_eve!\nArticles cited, in the order they are mentioned:\n\n "Losing My Religion at Christian Camp" by Katy Hershberger\n "4 Reasons I Had a Horrible Youth Camp Experience" by ??
