He still remembers the experience fondly. This is the one place that children of Atheists can go and talk with their peers openly. He had fun and brought home a picture of them covered in mud. He also liked the ?authority? of being a junior counselor since he was one of the older kids. He was not allowed to join the Boy Scouts of America although he was allowed to join YMCA Indian Guides. This is a great opportunity. I?m happy to hear that it has gone international with the UK.<br /> <br /> My son is 24 yrs old and he went to Camp Quest when there was only one camp site.

When I was a young man and a closet beer-guzzling, cigarette-smoking Jesus freak I was a counselor in Christian camps. As I've said before, reading a good book about Jesus made a confirmed Atheist of me ( and I even quit drinking and smoking in my early 30s-- I'm 52 now). I just might contact the right people and come visit Camp Quest for a day. As an old camp counselor and substitute teacher I think I'd fit right in.
