I am sure that is the case and figured as much, but they do more outdoor activities at NASA camps then they do at many church ones.

If a teenager came to our church in a suit and tie, he would not fit in the culture here. Our teens are PASSIONATE about serving God and I watched them last night as they flooded the altar (in their jeans and t-shirts) and cried out to God and worshipped Him, dancing and shouting, and some weeping. When teens from school come to visit our services, they don't feel out of place, because if they are in jeans and t-shirts, they can fit right in and immediately begin to feel a part.
Either way is fine. I personally don't think God cares one little bit about what people are wearing as long as they're modest and clean and not showing a bunch of skin. But in my opinion, it's wrong thinking to assume someone is more Godly because they are dressed up instead of casual.

Short sleeved shirts are not allowed at the youth camp we go to (which is not UPC by the way).
Also I never said that any one's kids looked like bums, I said I glad that my kids don't look like bums.

I really really wish the word "camp" would be dropped when describing these events........

We don't do any of these things at camp, if they did we would be going.
This is a church camp and we have church.

Parrish led one worship song last night that they learned at the 220 conference in Baton Rouge. It's called "I'm Gonna Worship You Forever", I think. It was awesome! He's so passionate!! Philip led the rest of the worship; the whole night was amazing.
Also, we did a new song called "Forever" that you will love. I'm going to get you and J. a DVD of last night - it was SO powerful.

So this is a church camp for church kids? Why do church kids need church camp? Not enough Jesus at home?
What about all the non church kids who couldn't go because *gasp* they wear short sleeve shirts? They don't need Jesus?
