Just ran across your blog and saw this post – good work! At the Christian camp I staffed at we had a "five minute rule" – guys and girls were expected to stay five minutes apart at all times. Actually, it worked pretty well!

Anonymous is entitled to his opinions, as ridiculous, narrow-minded and nasty they are.

To you Anonymous i can honestly say BRAVO. You are actually the first person that i met that met the woman that he is marrying at the age of 14, and she is the only one he has kissed. By the sounds of it the same can be said of your brother and parents. I can also tell you honestly that when I was 14, I wasn't looking for Miss Right. I was looking for Miss Right Now. And believe me, I was far from being the only one just looking to hook up for the week at camp.

I really don't have a huge problem with making purple at camp. Just so long as the purple making doesn't get carried away.

I will pray for you and your spouse Anonymous...if you'd talk to a stranger that way, i can't imagine how you'd treat someone that you'd know who happens to disagree with you.

I really missed out. I wish I could have gone to camp with you so we could suck face. You seem so tender. Hummmmm…..

My husband has been a youth pastor for the entirety of our marriage, and I, a sponsor. The easiest way into student's PDA plans is their peers. We always have a couple of students who talk a lot. While we discourage gossip and deception, playing like you're uninterested while they mention what other students may be planning to do (or were doing the night before during free time) is a great way to get information. They have no idea they're spying for you because by your nonchalance: They think you already know. You can then use your discernment to deal with whatever it is. This goes for prank scenarios as well.

As part of the PKG and now as a veteran Camp Director, I honestly don't know which is more fun: getting away with purpling or catching students attempting to go purple.

If you are wise, do not believe your "most holy & pure" students for any reason who are "staying out late to pray" or get close to Jesus.

Nothing good happens after midnight (& yes, this is a not so veiled slam on Lock-ins which are a child of the devil!) bw

To "anonymous", the angry (and unnecessarily confrontational) propronent of camp love: my original comment here was a smart-ass line about poor breeding practices, but I decided that would be rude. Mostly, I'll just let you and your anonymity go be unnecessarily angry at other folks, while the rest of us keep trying to have a good, worthwhile conversation.

Kids struggling with sexual immorality is NOT for the youth leaders to correct. Its between that child his/hers parents and GOD! Not some weirdo "pastor" working for some EVI FREE money machine……
