Atheist Camp?!

Yep. There is such a thing. Or at least in Minnesota, California, Michigan, Smoky Mountains and last but not least, Ohio.
The camp is called "Camp Quest" I heard something about one in canada. For anyone who lives in Canada, is that true?
I'm also curious if there is something like this in Europe. Anyone know?
P.S. heres Camp Quest on the Colbert report.

Indeed. I went to the camp for 4 years before I became counselor. Not gonna lie. I prefer it to Boy Scouts and their definition of camping.

No more Johny apple seed. hahah.

WAY down yonder not so very far off,
A Jaybird died of the WHOOP-ing cough.
He WHOOPED so hard from the WHOOP-ing cough
That he WHOOPED his head and his tail right off!

Same song, second verse,
A little bit louder and a little bit worse...

da capo ad nauseum!

Hear, hear; NO doubt; No Shit, Sherlock; etc, re: "Blackbird"...!

Seriously ... that was a song we sang (more like SHOUTED!) back in Y camp some 45 years ago....

Kumbaya my Flying Spaghetti Monster, Kumbaya

Kumbaya my Flying Spaghetti Monster, Kumbaya
O Flying Spaghetti Monster, Kumbaya

Technically, isn't any camp that doesn't talk about God an atheist camp?

Heh. That's the problem with all these spoof deities... too many syllables.

I wish there was a Camp Quest for adults. I never got to attend camp when I was a kid.

Nor did I...But our family camped a lot with kin sometimes,so that was fun.
The Smokey Mountains were the best.
Good video..I was afraid it had already been removed and I'd miss it.
