The YMCA summer camp website is littered with DEI and inclusivity junk. Is this just standard boilerplate stuff that every organization has, or is YMCA woke and filled with liberals? Would you send your kid to one of these camps?

The Y owns a beautiful camp/ranch property near us, that kids have gone to for generations. Hiking, archery, swimming, fishing, horse riding, etc. It's a shame that it appears the left sunk their claws into another organization and devoured it from the inside out. My son and his friends have been asking about going to a camp. But the website does not leave a good feeling about the organization.

And the C part of the organization, much like in mainline churches these days, must be taken with a grain of salt until proven to actually be so when measured up to scripture. Deception is the D part of the Devil who does his best work hiding amongst the sheep.

I don't know if they're woke or not these days, but I had a blast doing their summer camp as a kid.

Was a counselor/life guard for them while in college. Held it at a state park.

That was in the late 80's so none of this BS we have today.

Same here. We used to go to the lake everyday then once a week we'd take a field trip somewhere. It was awesome.

Just following Hitler's youth doctrine. You cannot change a culture unless you change the culture of the young. Those older citizens that resist change will die off soon enough, if not removed from the population sooner.

My daughter goes to Heart O The Hills in Hunt, TX for 4 weeks every year.

No DEI crap. It’s Christian based and offer catholic services on Sunday if you practice.

It’s her favorite thing in the world. Plenty to do and no electronics. They have a boys camp called Stewart. My son will go when he turns 6.

My sense is, YUSA is a woke, lost Enterprise

Local Ys seem to embrace a more traditional line

YMCA. No longer young, no longer just for men and no longer Christian. They are still an association I suppose.

My kids went to, and my grandkids are attending a place called Echo Ranch. Its run by Auke Bay Bible Church, and is in the most incredible setting.

Because I don't want my kids to be indoctrinated by leftist groomer weirdos? That makes me a victim?

This how you go through life, boiling every possible pleasant thing down to “is this affiliated with something that pisses me”? That must be miserable.

It's the world you people created with your initial miserable lives not being represented. You may be ok with grown men showering with little girls, but not everyone does.

Remember your ilk pushed to have Christian values out of the public square, to now whine about people not wanting your homoerotic tendencies paraded around in public.

TLDR stop projecting your hypocrisy.

You live in a fictional world fueled by your fear and anger. You extrapolate the minuscule to be representative of a mass. You’d ruin any good thing in favor of your grievances.

Call yourself a Christian is you want to, but what you are has nothing to do with Christ.

What's fictional about you being someone that is ok with mentally ill grown men showering with little girls? Or how you support the gender destruction of children?

You don't understand Christianity if you think me calling that out is an issue with God. At the end of the day I will proudly stand in front of Him, with my stance and feel confident. Feel free to feel just as confident with your pedo supporting ways.

Your narrative is fictitious. You cling to it though.

You may stand proudly in front of Him, but I’m pretty sure He’ll have some major corrections for your interpretation of his word. He wasn’t too big on most of what your kind sign off on.

Describe to me my narrative and how it's fictitious.

Ohhhh tell me where He'd corrected me so majorly.
